Meet The MDWL founders.
Hi and welcome to MD Weight Loss, I’m Dr. Laura-Lea McKay. I am a graduate of Dalhousie Medical School which is where I went on to complete my residency in family medicine in 2000.
By the time I finished medical school, long hours, stress and some poor choices resulted in me gaining about 50 lbs. Once I was in residency, I realized I needed to do something myself if I was going to be able to help patients needing to make lifestyle changes. It’s really hard to be the obese doctor trying to tell any patient they need to lose weight!
So, I started my journey to better health. I started eating better and getting regular exercise despite the fact that exercise was something I seriously loathed up to that point in time! By the time I finished residency I had lost the 50 lb and was ready to start my first job.
Once I got out in the real world of practicing medicine, I quickly realized that a lot of it has been focused on being reactive, not proactive. We were treating people after they got sick, not helping them prevent illness.
In 2014, I was at a medical conference and went to a lecture on the management of metabolic syndrome. I realized there was a better way to help patients lose weight and manage chronic disease through diet and exercise.
Since then, I have worked to implement these strategies into my practice and have continued to learn and hone my skills. My goal is to do my best to help you be a happier, healthier, more awesome version of the amazing individual you already are!
Hello friends, my name is Dr. Jonathan Chan I am a physician certified in both Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine. Over the last two decades, I have had experience with the full spectrum of practice from infants to seniors, chronic disease and seeing the devastating complications in the Emergency Room such as heart attacks and stroke. These cases and experiences highlighted the importance of prevention and proactive care. I embarked on a decade long search for a solution to help my patients. After experimenting with various diets and weight loss programs, we were able to develop a program which resulted in proven success for patients.
The most satisfying part of my practice is now helping patients accomplish their health goals. Whether it is losing weight, having more energy, decreasing or eliminating medications - it’s all possible through healthy nutrition when you learn what to do and how to do it!
We are thrilled and honoured to be a part of your journey to help you reach your health goals.

”I was eager to try and liked a challenge and I am grateful I did every day since. It is not just the weight loss, but the little victories and unexpected moments along the journey. Simple and small things like not being winded tying your shoes, dropping half a shoe size because your feet no longer require a wide shoe, seeing your belt buckle or feet for the first time in years. To anyone who is hesitating and saying they can’t do it, what have you got to lose? The effort and the small rewards you will far outweigh (no pun intended) the trepidation.

”I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember but it really escalated after high school and through college. At my heaviest I was 346 pounds and though I held it relatively well, it always made me feel uncomfortable in my own skin and created self-esteem issues, which also affected my relationships and friendships. MD Weight Loss’s program has changed my life! I now know why my body plateaus and what to do when it happens. I’m more comfortable in my skin and feel sexy and and have confidence that I’ve never experienced before. It’s become a lifestyle for me that I follow daily.
