Weight & metabolic health
We look at blood sugar, insulin, body composition and hormones together, and build a plan for nutrition, movement and, if appropriate, approved weight-loss medication under medical supervision.

Hormones influence where your body stores fat. With menopause, many women store more fat around the belly, often even when their weight barely changes. Age, muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, nutrition and exercise also play an important role.
That’s why we don’t only look at the number on the scale. We look at blood sugar, insulin, thyroid, body composition and your hormones together and, where suitable, use continuous glucose monitoring, so you can see how your body reacts to food, sleep and stress.
Your plan combines nutrition, movement and muscle-building, sleep and, if medically appropriate, approved weight-loss medication under medical supervision. Weight loss is possible, but never guaranteed: hormones are only one of several factors.

Frequently asked questions
What role do hormones play in a growing waistline, belly fat and weight gain?
Hormones influence where your body stores fat. With menopause, many women store more fat around the belly, often even when their weight barely changes. Age, muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, nutrition and exercise also play an important role.
That’s why, when your weight changes, we don’t only look at sex hormones but at your whole metabolism.
Can hormone therapy improve my metabolism?
It can have a positive effect on certain metabolic processes and on body composition. How much varies from person to person.
For us, hormones and metabolism belong together. Depending on your situation, we look at blood sugar and insulin sensitivity, thyroid, body composition, nutrition and exercise together.
Can I lose weight during treatment?
Possible, yes. Guaranteed, no. Hormones are only one of several factors that affect weight and body composition.
If weight loss is one of your goals, we create an individual plan that takes hormonal and metabolic factors into account together.
