Weight Management That Starts with Understanding Why
Personalized, physician-guided care that addresses the hormonal and metabolic changes influencing weight during midlife.
Weight Changes Are Often About More Than Diet and Exercise
Many women notice weight gain during perimenopause and menopause, even though their eating habits and activity levels haven’t changed.
Hormonal changes can influence metabolism, appetite, insulin sensitivity, body composition, and where the body stores fat. Sleep, stress, and other health factors can also play a role.
That’s why successful weight management starts with understanding what’s contributing to these changes, rather than focusing only on the number on the scale. Treating the cause often leads to more meaningful and sustainable results than simply treating the symptom.
A Women's Health Perspective Makes a Difference
Weight management during midlife is different from weight management at other stages of life.
Hormones are a core part of gynecologic and midlife care, and OB/GYNs are the primary specialty trained in women’s hormonal health. As an OB/GYN with extensive experience managing hormone changes, Dr. Diaz understands how these changes can influence metabolism, body composition, appetite, and overall health.
Rather than treating weight as an isolated concern, she evaluates the whole picture, including your symptoms, medical history, hormone changes, lifestyle, and health goals, to develop a treatment plan that supports your long-term health and wellness.
Personalized Treatment Options
There is no single solution that works for every woman.
Depending on your individual needs, your treatment plan may include:
Comprehensive medical evaluation
Hormone evaluation when clinically appropriate
Nutrition and lifestyle recommendations
Prescription medications, including GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide, when appropriate
Regular follow-up and ongoing adjustments
