Metabolic Health and Weight Loss, Physician-Supervised Weight Management for Women in Midlife
If you're experiencing weight gain that doesn't respond to diet or exercise, especially around the midsection, you're not imagining it. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause directly affect your metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and how your body stores fat. It's not a willpower problem. It's a medical one.
At OGA, we take a physician-led, science-based approach to weight management that goes beyond a prescription. Our program is designed specifically for women navigating midlife, and it integrates with our hormone optimization services for a complete metabolic wellness plan.
What We Offer
Our Metabolic Health and Weight Loss program includes:
Comprehensive metabolic health assessment with lab work (fasting insulin, glucose, HbA1c, lipid panel, thyroid function)
GLP-1 receptor agonist prescribing (semaglutide, tirzepatide) when clinically appropriate
Compounded medication options through a local pharmacy
Ongoing metabolic panel monitoring and lab review
Nutrition guidance and lifestyle counseling
Integration with hormone replacement therapy for patients who need both
Why OGA Is Different
You've probably seen online platforms offering weight loss injections for a flat monthly fee. Here's what they don't include: lab work that actually monitors your metabolic health, a medical provider who evaluates your blood work and connects the dots, and the clinical understanding of how weight, hormones, thyroid, and insulin all interact during menopause.
At OGA, your weight loss care is supervised by the same team managing your hormone therapy. That means your metabolic panels, your hormone levels, and your medication dosing are all being managed together, not in isolation.
Who Is This For?
This program may be right for you if you're experiencing:
Weight gain that doesn't respond to diet or exercise
Weight concentrated around the midsection or abdomen
Increased appetite or food cravings
Blood sugar swings or energy crashes
Difficulty maintaining a healthy weight despite consistent effort
A feeling of being metabolically "stuck"
