Who this is for.

You are in perimenopause or menopause

Weight redistribution and metabolic changes that come with the hormonal shift are real. GLP-1 medications are one of the most effective tools available for this exact stage of life. I use them when they fit your case.

You have insulin resistance or PMOS

GLP-1 medications work directly on the metabolic pathway that drives weight in PMOS and insulin resistance. For many patients, this is the treatment that has been missing.

You have tried everything

Diet, exercise, intermittent fasting, calorie restriction, and you are not seeing results. Weight loss is not always a willpower problem. Sometimes it is a hormonal and metabolic problem. I evaluate which one applies to you.

You want medical management, not a prescription mill

You want a provider who runs the workup, monitors the response, adjusts the plan, and addresses the hormonal and nutritional context. Not a tele-prescription with no follow-through.

What is included.

Comprehensive intake

I take your full medical history, your weight history, your prior interventions, and your goals. I screen for the conditions that affect treatment selection and response.

Metabolic and hormonal workup

I order the labs that matter for weight loss outcomes. Thyroid, insulin, glucose, lipid panel, vitamin D, and hormonal markers based on your stage.

GLP-1 prescription when appropriate

When GLP-1 medication fits your case, I prescribe and monitor it. When it does not fit, I tell you and we build a different plan.

Nutrition guidance

GLP-1 medications work best with the right nutritional approach. I give you the specific guidance most providers leave out. Protein targets, fiber, hydration, and the foods that support muscle preservation during weight loss.

Side effect management

GLP-1 medications have predictable side effects. I tell you what to expect, how to manage them, and when to call sooner. You do not have to white-knuckle it.

Ongoing follow-up

This is medical management, not a one-and-done prescription. We follow up regularly to adjust the plan, monitor labs, and address the questions that come up as your body changes.

My approach.

GLP-1 medications are one of the most significant developments in women's metabolic health in decades. They work. The evidence supports them. They are particularly powerful for women in perimenopause and menopause whose bodies have changed in ways that diet and exercise alone cannot address.

I prescribe them because they help women I would otherwise have nothing to offer. I screen carefully, I monitor closely, and I treat this as medical management, not as a wellness product. The patients who do best on GLP-1 medications are the patients who have a provider who pays attention to the workup, the response, and the context. That is the work I do here.

GLP-1 care runs on a monthly follow-up schedule. Each monthly visit covers dose adjustment, labs, side effect review, and your refill.
