Weight management is not just a matter of calories in vs. calories out. The key to achieving sustainable weight loss and maintaining your ideal weight is following a system that offers realistic nutrition adjustments, regular exercise, adequate sleep, stress management and shifting self-sabotaging mindsets that can often lead to stress or emotional eating. As a double board-certified Obesity Medicine and Family Medicine physician, I help busy women (who have often struggled for years trying multiple weight loss programs) reach their desired weight and health for good. Using in-person and telehealth visits, I focus on providing proven systems and a comprehensive approach to reduce the burden of chronic conditions while reducing body weight. My goal is to get to the root cause of symptoms to design a plan for success. Here are 3 main ways I help patients achieve their goals: 1. A holistic approach combining medication treatment and nutrition planning to improve metabolic disease markers such as blood sugar (HbA1c), cholesterol and blood pressure. 2. Offering support and coaching behavior changes to facilitate lasting changes in lifestyle, promoting accountability and responsibility. 3. Exercise therapy with an emphasis on strength training and cardio to build lean metabolism boosting muscle and improve cardiovascular health. After 10+ years of clinical experience, I’ve also realized the impact that menopause has on a woman’s physical and mental health. Now, as a Hormone Therapy Specialist, I help women experiencing menopause feel energetic again and reclaim their lives through effective weight management strategies and a protocol of safe and effective treatments.
