In short
From October 26, 2026 to January 1, 2027, Margo’s Clinic at 248 Shuter St. in downtown Toronto offers its Weight Loss Program at a promotional price of $70 per acupuncture session (regular price $90). The program usually takes 2–3 weeks of daily weekday visits, depending on your individual needs and goals. The first consultation is free, and extended health plans typically cover 80–100% of acupuncture, up to your plan’s limits.
The weeks between late October and New Year’s are often the hardest time to look after your weight: shorter days, more stress, less sleep and plenty of holiday meals. If you have been meaning to start, this promotion is a good moment to get structured, practitioner-guided support before the holidays rather than after them.

What’s Included in the Weight Loss Program
Margo’s Clinic has offered weight loss support in Toronto since 2002. The program looks at why weight is hard to shift for you, such as appetite, cravings, digestion, stress-related eating and sleep, and supports those areas together instead of relying on a crash diet.
- Free consultation and assessment: your health history, eating patterns, sleep and stress, plus a painless Electro-Meridian Imaging assessment.
- Daily acupuncture: body points chosen to support digestion and to calm the stress response that drives comfort eating.
- Ear acupuncture and ear seeds: small press seeds that stay on for several days, so you can press them when a craving hits.
- Herbal medicine, where appropriate: a Traditional Chinese Medicine formula chosen for you and reviewed for interactions with any medication you take.
- Nutrition and lifestyle guidance: warm, satisfying meals, timing and simple swaps, with no extreme diets. Where it suits your health, Margo may include intermittent fasting guidance. It is not right for everyone, for example during pregnancy or if you take medication for diabetes, so she reviews your health history first.
- Weekly colon hydrotherapy by referral: one session a week at a trusted partner clinic, planned around your acupuncture.
Results vary from person to person. The program does not replace medical care: if you have a diagnosed condition, Margo works alongside your doctor.

How Long Does the Program Take?
Most programs take 2–3 weeks of daily visits, Monday to Friday, with no weekend visits. The exact length depends on your individual needs and goals, and Margo confirms it with you at the free consultation before you start. After the program, optional maintenance visits can help you keep your new habits.
