Medical, Hormone-Aware Weight Loss for Women 40+

Weight gain during perimenopause and menopause is not a willpower problem—it’s a hormonal and metabolic shift. Working with a menopause weight loss doctor in Chula Vista ensures your plan is medically appropriate, effective, and sustainable.

At Medical Wellness Doc, we specialize in women’s metabolic health, not generic weight-loss advice.

Why Menopause Weight Gain Is Different

During menopause, changes in estrogen, insulin sensitivity, muscle mass, and sleep make traditional dieting ineffective.

Common challenges include:

• Abdominal weight gain

• Slower metabolism

• Insulin resistance

• Sleep disruption

• Increased stress and cortisol

This is why menopause requires medical weight loss, not calorie cutting alone.

👉 This care integrates with our existing Chula Vista Women’s Health and Menopause Care approach.

Our Medical Weight Loss Approach for Menopause

Your plan is personalized and may include:

• Lifestyle medicine to improve insulin sensitivity

• Strength training guidance to protect lean muscle

• Nutrition strategies adapted for hormonal changes

• Sleep and stress optimization (critical during menopause)

• Medication support when medically appropriate

This complements our broader Holistic Weight Management model.

GLP-1 Medications & Menopause (When Appropriate)

Some menopausal patients benefit from GLP-1 therapy, especially when insulin resistance is present.

Medication decisions are made carefully and align with our:

• GLP-1 vs Natural Weight Loss guidance

• Long-term exit strategy to prevent rebound weight gain

Lifestyle medicine always remains the foundation.

• Have prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, or fatigue
