TelePlus Care is a virtual weight loss clinic serving Hamilton, Ontario. licensed doctors assess clinical fit, prescribe Health Canada-approved GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) for adults at BMI 30+, or 27+ with a comorbidity, and provide ongoing follow-up. Care is delivered by video; prescriptions are filled at local pharmacies.
- Eligibility for GLP-1 weight management follows Obesity Canada's 2020 guidelines: BMI 30 kg/m squared or greater, or BMI 27 kg/m squared or greater with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, prediabetes, or obstructive sleep apnea.
- Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) is the on-label GLP-1 for chronic weight management in Canada (Health Canada approval November 2021); Ozempic and Mounjaro are prescribed off-label for weight loss when clinically justified.
- Most GLP-1 medications are weekly subcutaneous injections; in clinical trials at maintenance dose, average weight loss was roughly 12-15% with semaglutide (68 weeks) and up to 15-22.5% with tirzepatide (72 weeks).
- Your doctor reviews medication options, pharmacy steps, and follow-up needs during the appointment. Medication access and dispensing requirements depend on the prescribed medication, dose, supply, pharmacy, and pharmacy requirements. TelePlus Care does not dispense medication; your pharmacist can confirm pickup timing and any plan documentation before you start.
Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments proceed only when clinically appropriate after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.
How an Online Weight Loss Clinic Works for Hamilton Residents
TelePlus Care delivers medical weight management to Hamilton without a physical office in the city — care reaches you wherever you are, from downtown and Westdale to Stoney Creek, Dundas, Ancaster, and the Mountain. The workflow is simple and clinical. You book an appointment online, complete an intake form covering your medical history, weight history, BMI, current medications, and goals, then meet a licensed doctor by secure video.

There is no referral required and no in-person visit needed for most patients. This same standard of assessment, prescribing, and documented follow-up applies to every patient, whether you are a Mc Master student, a shift worker, or a parent juggling a busy schedule.

GLP-1 Medications: Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro
GLP-1 receptor agonists work by slowing gastric emptying, reducing appetite, and improving how your body regulates blood sugar — which is why they have become central to evidence-based weight management. In Hamilton, your doctor matches the medication to your clinical picture rather than the reverse, weighing efficacy, supply, tolerability, and details. Each option has a distinct profile, and your doctor will explain the trade-offs during your consultation, including common side effects such as nausea, which usually ease as the dose is titrated upward gradually.
- Ozempic (semaglutide, weekly injection) — Health Canada-approved for Type 2 diabetes and prescribed off-label for weight loss; generally well-stocked.
- Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg, weekly injection) — the only semaglutide on-label for chronic weight management in Canada; supply has been intermittent.
- Mounjaro (tirzepatide, weekly injection) — a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist with the highest weight-loss figures in trial data; prescribed off-label for weight loss.
- Your doctor selects the medication based on your BMI, comorbidities, medication history, and pharmacy availability, and current availability.
Who Qualifies for Medical Weight Loss (BMI Criteria)
Eligibility for GLP-1 weight management at TelePlus Care follows Obesity Canada's 2020 Clinical Practice Guidelines. Medical weight loss is intended for adults with obesity or overweight accompanied by a weight-related health condition — it is not a cosmetic shortcut. During your virtual visit, your Hamilton doctor confirms your BMI, screens for the conditions that make these medications safe or unsafe for you, and reviews your goals. Some patients are better served by lifestyle support or referral rather than medication, and your doctor will tell you honestly if that is the case.
- Adults with a Body Mass Index of 30 kg/m squared or greater.
- Adults with a BMI of 27 kg/m squared or greater plus at least one weight-related comorbidity — hypertension, dyslipidemia, prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes, or obstructive sleep apnea.
- No personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2 syndrome.
- No history of pancreatitis.
- Not currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy in the near term.
- Willing to engage in ongoing follow-up and supportive lifestyle changes.

Why Medical Weight Management Beats Fad Diets
Fad diets and over-the-counter supplements promise fast results but rarely produce durable change, and many trigger a cycle of restriction and regain that can be discouraging and, at times, unhealthy. Medical weight management takes a different path. It treats obesity as a chronic medical condition — which is how Obesity Canada and major clinical bodies now frame it — rather than a question of willpower. With TelePlus Care, a Hamilton patient receives a proper clinical assessment, evidence-based medication where appropriate, and the ongoing monitoring that fad programs simply cannot provide: dose titration, side-effect management, lab review, and check-ins at regular intervals. Just as importantly, your doctor pairs medication with realistic, sustainable lifestyle guidance — protein-forward nutrition, resistance training to preserve lean muscle during weight loss, sleep, and stress management. The goal is not a quick number on the scale but lasting metabolic health supported by a doctor who knows your history and adjusts the plan as your body responds.
