Weight Loss - Dr. Misa Kawasaki, ND

​

We offer custom weight loss plans for our patients in Richmond Hill, Aurora, King City and Newmarket!

​

Do you crave sugar? Are you stressed and tired? Are you a grazer? Do you feel you are eating healthy and exercising but can’t seem to lose weight? Not sure what to choose on the menu when eating out? Are you a shift-worker wanting to know what and when to eat? Wondering if hormone imbalance is a cause of your weight gain? 

 

Dr. Misa designs personalized feeding plans that are both realistic and sustainable to your current lifestyle. She focuses on re-creating healthy eating habits and long-term weight loss using portions based on macros (proteins, carbs, fats) and intermittent fasting.

​

In the initial visit she will discuss your daily schedule (i.e. work, family, exercise times, etc.) take waist/hip/chest measurements, perform an InBody analysis, and collect a urine sample to test stress levels and acidity in the body. She may also recommend blood work to determine your thyroid function, iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels, and carbohydrate metabolism.

​

The information obtained in the first visit is used by Dr. Misa to create your feeding plan which is given to you on the 2nd visit and will contain measured amounts of food to eat and will also provide guidance on the timing of your meals.  Supplements may be recommended based on the test results.

Dr. Misa will design a personalized feeding plan based your child’s weekly activity schedule and InBody Analysis during the initial visit. She will also teach your child how to fuel their body before, during and after competitions.
