MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS
Weight support that works with your hormones, not against them.
Why Weight Feels Harder Now
If the habits that used to work suddenly don’t, it isn’t a lack of willpower. In perimenopause and menopause, falling estrogen, muscle loss, changes in how your body handles blood sugar, poor sleep and stress can all shift where your body stores weight, often around the middle (sometimes called “menopause belly”).
Certain medications and other health conditions can play a role too. That’s why our medical weight loss care looks for the root cause instead of handing you a one-size-fits-all diet. To learn more about weight and midlife health, visit The Menopause Society.
Your Personalized Medical Weight Loss Plan
We start by understanding your history, symptoms and goals, then use targeted labs to check your hormones, blood sugar and other metabolic markers.
Your plan may include:
- Nutrition guidance built around protein, fiber and real life
- Strength training and movement that protect your muscles and bones
- Hormone therapy when it fits your goals, which may help with sleep, energy and belly fat
- Prescription medications, such as GLP-1 medications, when they’re safe and right for you
- Regular follow-ups to track your progress and adjust your plan
We explain every option clearly, and you choose what fits your body and your life. Insurance coverage for weight-loss medications varies by plan, and we’ll help you understand your options before you start. Have more questions? Visit our FAQ. Care is available in English and Spanish.

Common Questions About Medical Weight Loss
Shifting hormones, loss of muscle, changes in how your body handles blood sugar and poorer sleep all play a part, and many women notice more weight around the middle. Working on these together works better than cutting calories alone.
Research does not show that hormone therapy causes weight gain. For some women, it may help with sleep, energy and belly fat, which can make other healthy changes easier. Whether it’s right for you is always your choice.
When it’s safe and right for you, yes. We review your health history and labs first, and we pair medication with protein-focused nutrition and strength training to help protect your muscle.
Visits for weight management are often covered. We accept Medicare, Maryland Medicaid, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. Coverage for weight-loss medications depends on your plan, and we’ll walk you through it.
