Medical Weight Loss
A Personalized, Evidence-Based Approach to Real Results
Weight loss isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Basics & Beyond Wellness, we help you lose weight safely and sustainably through a personalized, medically supervised program that supports your metabolism, hormones, and overall lifestyle.
Whether you’ve been struggling with stubborn weight for years or you’ve recently noticed changes that aren’t improving with diet and exercise, we’re here to help uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Our physician-led weight loss program goes far beyond calorie counting. We use lab testing, symptom tracking, and clinical insight to create a plan that’s tailored to your body and your goals. And because wellness is about more than a number on the scale, we also focus on your energy, mood, sleep, and muscle health throughout the process.
You're not lazy. You're not broken. Your body just needs a different kind of support. And we’re here when you’re ready.
Medical Weight Loss in Parksville and Oceanside, BC
Every client begins with a one-on-one consultation to take a full look at your health. Once we understand your goals and what your body needs, we create a plan that may include:
What’s Included in Our Medical Weight Loss Program
We start by looking at the facts. Lab work helps us uncover hormonal, metabolic, or nutritional imbalances that might be making weight loss harder than it needs to be.
Physician Consultation and Comprehensive Lab Work
If you’re a good candidate, our medical team may recommend prescription treatments like semaglutide or tirzepatide as part of your plan. These are carefully supervised to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Prescription Medications (if appropriate)
Customized Nutrition and Lifestyle Planning
Muscle and Metabolism Monitoring
We aim to reduce fat while protecting and building lean muscle. Tools like Emsculpt Neo and regular body composition tracking help us keep you moving in the right direction.
Ongoing Support and Check-Ins
You won’t go through this alone. Regular follow-ups give us a chance to fine-tune your program as your body responds and your goals evolve.

Why Choose Basics & Beyond?
Frequently Asked Questions About Accessing Medical Services
1. Do I need a referral to see the doctor for these services?
2. If I sign up for a membership, how does access to medical consultations work?
4. Which option is better for me—referral or private pay?
3. Is lab work always required?
No, a referral is not required—but it can reduce your out-of-pocket cost. You have two options: You can ask your family physician or a telehealth provider to send a referral to our clinic. This allows your consultation to be covered by MSP (when applicable).
Or, you can enroll in one of our membership programs to access immediate client care and medical oversight.
Yes, in most cases. For medical weight loss and hormone therapy, lab work is typically required to allow the physician to properly assess your hormone levels, metabolic function, and overall health. This ensures your treatment plan is safe, personalized, and medically appropriate. For hair restoration, lab work may also be recommended based on your symptoms and medical history.
If you choose the membership route, you’ll meet directly with our physician.
Both options lead to the same high-quality care. A referral is ideal if you want coverage through MSP and are okay with the extra step. Membership pay gives you direct access, additional perks and flexibility, especially if you prefer to move forward right away.
"I did not know what to expect to see a doctor at a clinic called
"Basics & Beyond Wellness." My first impression walking into the reception/waiting room was "Wow!" What a place. The doctor was right on time, was very friendly, took more time than I expected to check my skin problems, took pictures, enlarged them and explained them to me. He even did some treatments and referred me to a plastic surgeon with the problems he could not deal with. I liked this doctor, I would go back any time and refer him to anybody who has skin problems that could be cancerous. Thank you, Dr. A. Vasquez! On my way out I was greeted with a smile by Judy Rose, the Founder and CEO of this Wellness Center. Judy, I wish you all the success your clinic deserves!"
