At his clinical practice, the Alberta Bariatric & Lifestyle Clinic in Canada, Dr. Khimji empowers patients to make lasting behavior changes through evidence-based medicine and a focus on prevention. He provides personalized, expert care for obesity and weight management, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, depression, anxiety, ADHD, disordered eating, and more. Having practiced across a broad scope—from rural Emergency Rooms and Intensive Care Units to Palliative Care and Urgent Care—he understands that sustainable healing requires looking beyond prescriptions toward purpose and behavior. As a recovering perfectionist and “human-in-progress,” Dr. Khimji champions the philosophy of “progress over perfection,” focusing on habits that actually stick. He leads by example, hosting a free monthly public walking group for the Calgary Walk With A Doc chapter. A sought-after speaker and advocate for Lifestyle Medicine, he emphasizes that optimal health is rooted in self-compassion, community, and living in alignment with one’s values. Outside of clinic, he is an avid traveler, multi-sport athlete, and lifelong learner who practices the same mindfulness and mental fitness he teaches his patients.
