Rethink Obesity Management—Empower Sustainable Change
Traditional obesity counseling often falls short because it overlooks the complex interplay of biology, behavior, and environment. Our 5.75-hour foundational course equips clinicians, coaches, and health professionals with the COACH Approach—a personalized, empathetic framework that shifts the role from “fixer” to “facilitator,” guiding patients toward lasting lifestyle change.

Learn from a passionate physician-educator dedicated to transforming healthcare through lifestyle medicine
Dr. Prerana Rudrapatna
MD, DipABLM, BHSc
Dr. Prerana Rudrapatna is a Physician-Educator who champions a growth mindset towards health and wellness, integrating the evidence-based principles of Lifestyle Medicine. Currently serving as the Chief Medical Liaison at My Viva Inc., Dr. Prerana focuses on integrating digital health into primary and specialty care settings to enhance patient self-efficacy and optimize care delivery models for chronic disease management.
Dr. Prerana’s academic and professional journey began with a focus on health promotion. Her experiences at the Ontario Ministry of Health provided insights into systemic-level change and laid a strong foundation for her medical career.
Her international clinical experiences in St. Vincent and Chicago exposed her to diverse health systems, where she built meaningful relationships with patients facing trauma. These experiences deeply influenced her approach, prompting her to emphasize care that transcends the typical clinical setting. Earning a Diploma in Lifestyle Medicine strengthened her clinical understanding allowing Dr. Prerana to transition focus to coaching patients to take ownership of their health.
