This program really helped me out on much more than just getting to a healthier weight level. I received excellent care in regards to tailored exercises to address chronic injuries, support with healthy eating to address stomach problems and help with mindfulness. Going to Wellness Garage was one of the best things I could have done for my self-care.

Wellness Garage was recommended to me by a colleague who is about the same age and experiencing some of the same issues as me. The program opened my eyes to the fact we only get one change at this thing called life... I want to enter old age with a strong mind and body. I am in my mid 50s and now feeling renewed mentally and physically because of Wellness Garage.

Our Approach
1-2-3 Strategy
Our program will teach you the 1-2-3 Metabolic Health Strategy, focusing on a range of lifestyle behaviours, involving diet, sleep, light exercise, stress reduction, and more.
Our Program is Different
Our approach asks you to make small steady changes that you can sustain. Better is more important than perfect.
No Calorie Counting
We focus on what to eat and when to eat, not how much you eat.
Common Sense & Whole Foods
We won’t ask you to put butter in your coffee, down nutritional shakes, or do anything else extreme. We apply only common sense & whole food principles.
Don’t Feel Hungry All the Time
Our bodies can naturally manage our appetite, as long as we feed them foods they recognize.
Moderate Exercise Only
Whether it’s walking, riding a bike, or running, we only ask you to do exercise you’re comfortable with and can maintain.
Changes You Can Sustain
We only ask you to make changes that you can sustain — eating foods you will enjoy and eating enough to feel full.
Learn Why, As Well As How
It’s easier to make changes and sustain them if you know why you’re doing them. We teach you the rationale for each change we ask you to make.
