Maintaining a healthy weight is a challenging and common problem in today’s world. From 1999 –2000 through 2017 –2018, US obesity prevalence increased from 30.5% to 42.4%. Obesity-related illnesses are also the leading cause of preventable, premature death.
We are dedicated to helping our local community in Toronto battle the challenges of a balanced healthy weight so you can avoid preventable illnesses as well as look and feel better than ever.

We’ll work with you on weight goals and finding the best path to get you to a healthy, balanced weight.
Custom Plan
Everyone’s body is different. We work with you on a custom weight plan that helps you hit a healthy balance.
Holistic Approach
Achieve better health and a balanced weight without invasive surgery or unnecessary medications.
There are 3 primary factors that determine your ability to lose weight and maintain it at a healthy level.
Proper Nutrition:
One critical part of losing weight is the food that you put into your body.
And, here’s another important part of nutrition:
Everybody’s body is different. Some people can eat dairy and feel fine. Some people are allergic to gluten and have adverse reactions even if food is cross-contaminated. Some people have a body type that prefers higher carbs than other people. Nutrition should be individualized to you and your body. Our team of experts gets to know you, your conditions, your health, your food preferences, and more to develop the perfect plan for YOU to help you lose weight, feel better, and regain some confidence.
Physical and Emotional Health:
What conditions (both physical and mental) are you experiencing in your life? Are you extremely stressed? Do you have a food addiction or any other addictions? How do you treat your body? These factors will influence how you can healthily lose weight.
Exercise:
Exercise is another very important aspect to losing weight (physical activity also an important aspect of living a long and healthy life). But, not all exercise is created equal. Nor should every person do the same type of exercise. A 65-year-old man who is severely overweight should not be doing the same exercises as a 23-year-old girl who is only moderately overweight.
Our team of medical experts evaluates your current situation and puts you on a plan to health, weight loss, and longevity.
Benefits to Losing Weight

Dr. Marc at Ivy West is amazing! Not only is he a world class chiropractor but he’s also a genuine and caring person. The office has a great atmosphere and every visit is super welcoming. I can’t recommend Dr. Marc and his team enough!
Dr. Marc is an excellent chiropractor. His treatment was critical to my son’s wellness! He cares for his patients and their family as a unit - good health, strength, positivity and wellness for all. Dr. Marc’s commitment to his practice and his patients is both honourable and commendable.
I’ve seen 5 or 6 different chiropractors over the years. In various provinces and cities. Dr Mark at Ivy West truly stands out with a unique approach and pedigree. A consummate professional who has a genuine interest in his patients’ wellbeing (and in my case, recovery). Thorough, professional and knowledgeable. The kind of person you can trust as a healthcare partner - something I could not have said of any other chiropractor I’ve seen over the years.
I've been seeing Dr. Marc weekly for almost two years now. I picked Dr. Marc from all the chiros in the neighbourhood based on the letter he posted on the door when he first opened telling his story and his journey to becoming a chiropractor. Who I found was kind and caring practitioner (with a great sense of humour) who listens to his patients and offers a warm and inviting office. I first went in with nagging rotator cuff issues and through regular visits saw great improvement within the 3 mos we talked about when we set up my wellness plan. I continue to see Dr. Marc pretty much weekly ever since for maintenance and rarely get flare ups in my shoulder and we nip any other emerging issues before they become bigger issues. Highly recommend.
I can’t say enough good things about Ivy West Chiropractor Clinic and Dr. Mark Hagel. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel welcome and at ease. The clinic is clean, modern, and has a very comfortable atmosphere.<br><br>Dr. Hagel is an outstanding chiropractor—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. He takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and tailors treatments to exactly what you need. I noticed a huge improvement after just a few visits, and he’s also given me practical advice and exercises that help me feel better between appointments.<br><br>It’s rare to find someone who combines such expertise with compassion, but Dr. Hagel does just that. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who truly cares about your well-being, I highly recommend Ivy West Chiropractor Clinic and Dr. Mark Hagel!
This review is long overdue – in short Dr Marc is a great chiropractor who communicates really well and has been fantastic in helping me. This is in a big way, Dr Marc’s chiropractic skill, but for anyone considering their options – this is a very well run, efficient practice. You can schedule appointments in good time, you are seen on time and you really do feel Dr Marc is listening to you. I highly recommend.
I visited Dr Marc Hagel for neck and arm pain. From the moment I arrived I felt very welcomed. The personalized welcome sign was a very nice gesture. Dr Marc Hagel took the time to listen to my symptoms, explained what might be causing the discomfort, and thoroughly assessed my condition.<br><br>The adjustment was gentle but effective. I felt some immediate relief in my neck, and over the next day or two, the arm pain also started to ease. What stood out most was the personalized care and the genuine interest in helping me heal.<br><br>Highly recommend Dr Marc Hagel to anyone dealing with nerve or muscular pain. I feel hopeful for a full recovery thanks to their expertise.<br><br>Thank you
Dr. Marc Hagel made my teen son's initial appointment an amazing experience. Dr. Marc is very knowledgeable, thorough and compassionate. My son is looking forward to his future adjustments.
As someone who has experienced many chiropractic adjustments over the years, I can confidently say that Mark is exceptional. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to thoroughly understand the root cause of your issues before proceeding with treatment. I’ve been seeing him for a few weeks now, and the difference I feel in my body is remarkable. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a skilled and caring chiropractor.
It’s like going to a friend’s house and your friend happens to be a chiropractor. Dr. Marc is friendly and professional. He truly cares about his patients. I strongly recommend anyone who is looking for chiropractic services to check out Ivy West. Thank you!
Marc was very responsive, professional and took the time to evaluate my issue. I would recommend him to all friends and family who are looking for an honest chiropractor.
