Better obesity care starts with better conversations. 🤍
It starts with listening without judgment, understanding the whole patient, and creating a treatment plan that actually fits their life.

Because behind every number on a chart is a person who deserves to be heard, supported, and cared for.

Keep the conversation going. Better care starts here.

A moment I’m truly grateful for. 🤍

Honored to have spoken at OMA Summit™️ 2026: The Business of Obesity Medicine and to share my experience on “Obesity Medicine Practice Launch: From Zero to First Patients in 90 Days.”

Grateful for the conversations, connections, and opportunity to keep learning alongside so many incredible colleagues in obesity medicine.

Here’s to building better practices and, ultimately, better care for our patients. ✨

If you’re losing weight and feeling unusually tired, noticing hair loss, or struggling with your workouts, ferritin is one lab worth knowing about.

The American Society of Hematology’s 2026 guidance uses higher ferritin thresholds for diagnosing iron deficiency, including ≤30 ng/mL for adults, with ≤50 ng/mL considered in certain higher-risk situations.

And here’s something important: iron deficiency can exist even without anemia. Your hemoglobin may look okay while your iron stores are low.

If you’re experiencing fatigue, weakness, hair loss, or decreased exercise tolerance, talk with your doctor about whether checking ferritin and other iron studies makes sense for you.

Have you had your ferritin checked recently?

Sometimes I bring my kids to work… and sometimes I bring my dog. 🐶❤️

My dog sitter is on vacation, so today he got to spend the day with me at the office.

Because when you’re a working mom AND a business owner, you figure it out. Kids, dogs, patients, meetings… sometimes it all comes along for the ride. 😂

Not every workday looks perfectly polished - and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Working mom life. Business owner life. Real life. ❤️

This question comes into my inbox every single week. And it represents one of the most documented forms of weight bias in clinical medicine.

Raising awareness of the unique considerations in patients with obesity can help optimize patient care. While obesity is not a contraindication to other treatments, the care approach should be individualized.

Being told to lose weight before receiving treatment for another condition is not always appropriate medical guidance. It is often a reflection of weight bias embedded in clinical practice. The conditions that frequently accompany obesity, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and fatty liver disease, often improve with obesity treatment. They are not separate problems requiring sequential solutions.

Every patient deserves a physician who treats the whole clinical picture simultaneously. Not one condition at a time, in an order determined by their weight.

If you have been told to lose weight first before another treatment will be considered, that is worth a conversation with a physician who specializes in obesity medicine. The current evidence does not support withholding care while waiting for weight loss.

Save this and share it with anyone who has experienced this. 📌

I’m excited to be speaking at the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) Summit™️ 2026: The Business of Obesity Medicine this September in Chesapeake Bay!

The OMA Summit is focused this year on the business side of obesity medicine - from practice growth and financial management to operations, leadership, marketing, reimbursement, AI, and scalable models of care.

If you’re thinking about starting an obesity medicine practice - or are in the early stages of building one - I’d love to see you there!

📍 Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay | Cambridge, Maryland
📅 September 24–26, 2026

My session is called:
Obesity Medicine Practice Launch: From Zero to First Patients in 90 Days

📅 Friday, September 25
⏰ 1:00 PM

Starting an obesity medicine practice can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? What do you actually need before seeing your first patient? And how do you avoid spending months (or years) trying to make everything perfect before you launch?
In this session, I’ll share a practical 90-day roadmap for moving from an idea to an operational obesity medicine practice, including lessons I’ve learned from building my own practice.

Midlife is a metabolic transition, not just a hormonal one.

I recently had the opportunity to join Dr. Traci DeSplinter DeSplinter on Midlife Redefined for a conversation about perimenopause, menopause, and metabolic health.

We talked about how this stage of life can be a window of opportunity to make intentional changes that support your health now and reduce chronic disease risk later.

🎙️ Podcast episode airing soon.

I’m grateful to be featured in an article discussing an issue I see far too often in obesity medicine: How insurance delays and prior authorization can interrupt care and affect real patients.

When a treatment is working, stopping it because of an administrative barrier can have consequences that go far beyond paperwork.

I’m thankful for the opportunity to bring more attention to the importance of access, continuity of care, and evidence-based obesity treatment.

Patients deserve care that doesn’t stop when the paperwork does. 🤍

Happy Labor Day. 🇺🇸

Today feels like the right day to honor some of the hardest workers I know.

Not the ones with the biggest platforms or the loudest voices. The ones doing the quiet daily work of taking care of their health inside a system that was not always built to help them succeed.

The patient who showed up to every appointment even after being dismissed. The woman who kept asking questions even when she was told her symptoms were just stress. The person who restarted the plan for the fourth time because they knew their health was worth it. The patient who finally advocated for themselves and asked for the right care.

That is labor. Real, unglamorous, deeply personal labor. And it deserves to be celebrated today.

Obesity is a chronic medical condition that often overlaps with diabetes, sleep apnea, heart risk, fatty liver disease, hormonal conditions, and depression. The people managing it do not get a day off from their biology. But they still show up. Every single day.

If that is you, I see you. And I am glad you are here.

Rest today if you can. We build together tomorrow. 💛

Drop a 💛 in the comments if you are celebrating your own effort today. Every single one counts. 📌
