Metabolic Health Program Our Metabolic Health Program provides a safe and supportive environment for you to manage your health, with a team of diet and exercise professionals supporting you along the way.

Overweight and obesity are becoming increasingly common in our community and are conditions that can lead to many other metabolic health issues.

Research has shown that a team-based, collaborative approach to your care can vastly improve outcomes when it comes to the treatment of metabolic conditions.

Participants will engage in initial consultations with an Exercise Physiologist, Nutritionist/Dietitian, Mental Health Practitioner and Endocrinologist to help determine the most effective treatment pathway. Patient-centred care is a key component of all Brellah programs, and we will ensure you are always included in your treatment options.
