Today was one of those days that reminded me why I love this work.

I spent the day at the Colorado Obesity Society Summit learning from clinicians and researchers who are moving obesity medicine forward in the MOST exciting and impactful ways!

A few things I’m still thinking about:

The future of obesity treatment goes far beyond simply losing pounds. We’re getting better at protecting muscle, assessing metabolic risk, supporting nutrition, understanding body image, supporting the psychological aspects of weight and obesity, and choosing treatments based on health outcomes and personal factors.

Obesity is a complex, chronic disease that affects nearly every system in the body. Treating it well can improve far more than weight alone.

I’m leaving today excited, encouraged, and with plenty of new ideas to bring back to my patients at Weight Loss NP!

Swipe through for some of my favorite takeaways ➡️

A quiet-win from clinic that has nothing to do with the scale.

'I noticed my shoulders had dropped. I had been holding them up around my ears for years and I hadn't known.'

A perimenopause patient at her four-month follow-up, when we asked what had changed first. Before the scale moved, before her rings fit again, before her broken sleep stitched back together.

We hear a version of this for most women we treat. The scale and the labs are the loudest metrics, but rarely the first one to move. Sleep depth, waking mood, resting jaw, shoulders, the way your body sits in a chair. These are all downstream of the same hormones we are measuring, and they are usually where the real recovery starts.

If you are reading quietly and waiting for the number on the scale to give you permission to feel proud, we would gently suggest picking a smaller, earlier signal. Notice your energy on a Thursday afternoon. That is data too.

Save this for the next time a weigh-in tries to tell you nothing is happening.

BLOG of the WEEK - Can GLP-1 Medications Change Your Period? What Women Should Know.

Recently, more women have been asking whether semaglutide, tirzepatide, Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound can affect menstrual cycles. Some report heavier bleeding. Some notice spotting. Some notice missed periods, shorter cycles, longer cycles, or more clotting than usual.

A quiet Thursday note as August starts to close out and kids are back in school.

If you have been reading these posts through July and August and quietly wondering whether the free 20 minute consult is for you, this is the reminder we would give a friend.

It is not a sales call. There is no card on file. It is a real conversation with our patient consultant, not a call center. The call can be short, or it can last up to an hour depending on your questions and the support you're looking for. Bring your concerns, your questions or hesitations about hormones/ perimenopause/ weight management or more. We tell you what we would suggest, what we would not, and whether our GLP-1, HRT, TRT or coaching programs actually fits your situation - honest.

If you leave the call and decide we are not the right fit, no problem.

Link in bio. Take the twenty minutes and find out if we can help.

A midweek win we heard in a client visit that has nothing to do with the scale.

'I woke up five minutes before my alarm on Tuesday. I have not done that since my thirties.'

A patient at her four month check-in, when we asked what had shifted first. She is on HRT plus a low dose GLP-1. Her weight is down 9 pounds and she's feeling way more like herself. More energy, motivation, and confidence!

If you are reading quietly and wondering whether any of this is possible for you, book a free consult. Same team, same phone, no call center.

'Your labs came back normal.' Five things that phrase can still be hiding. 📌

Swipe through. Save it for the next appointment where your fatigue, weight or mood gets brushed off.

1. Ferritin in the teens or twenties. Technically in range. For it be optimized, we want closer to 50 before we call fatigue solved.
2. TSH alone. We also read free T3, free T4 and thyroid antibodies before we tell anyone their thyroid is 'fine.'
3. Fasting glucose only. A1c and fasting insulin together tell a very different story about metabolism at 45.
4. Total testosterone without free T, SHBG or estradiol. Men over 50 need the full picture for a proper discussion on TRT.
5. A single lab, single day. Hormones move. One draw isn't a verdict.

If you're the patient who's being told everything is "normal" while feeling anything but - we'd love to be your second look. Free consults, link in bio.

My prescription for healthy weight loss ✍️💊

Don’t worry- It’s not another restrictive diet.

Prioritize your mental health.
Manage your stress.
Have excellent support.
Eat foods you actually love.
Prioritize protein.
And build habits you can realistically keep doing.

Because the goal isn’t just to lose weight. It’s to lose it in a way that still lets you enjoy your life and is sustainable long term!

Save this prescription for later + send it to someone who needs the reminder. 🤍

A quiet Sunday note before the week starts.

If you have been reading our posts for a while and quietly wondering whether this is for you, our initial consult is free. Serving clients across Colorado, Utah, and Florida with full medical management, and providing coaching and our GLP-1 Success App to clients nationwide.

What we cover in that free call: what your weight loss and/ or hormone goals are. What has already been tried, what your last labs looked like, whether GLP-1, HRT, TRT, or plain metabolic coaching fits your situation, and whether we are the right team for you (sometimes we are not, and we will tell you). No pressure - but a really helpful conversation to be sure.

Link in our bio, or DM us the word 'consult' and we will send over a booking link!
