Weight Loss That Goes Beyond the Scale
Successful weight loss isn’t about willpower—it’s about understanding the many factors that influence metabolism, appetite, hormones, nutrition, activity, sleep, stress, and overall health. Every person has a unique medical history and different reasons for struggling with weight, which is why a personalized approach is so important.
At Balanced Women’s Wellness, I provide comprehensive medical weight loss care designed to help you lose weight safely, improve your health, and create sustainable habits that last long after the initial weight loss phase.
A Personalized Approach
Your treatment plan is based on your individual goals, medical history, current medications, lifestyle, and laboratory findings. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all program, we develop a strategy that works for your body and your life.
Treatment may include:
Comprehensive medical evaluation
Individualized nutrition assessment & coaching
Personalized movement & strength recommendations
Behavioral and lifestyle coaching
Weight management medication, when appropriate.
Ongoing monitoring and support
Weight maintenance & metabolic health
Ready to Start Feeling Better?
You don’t have to navigate hormonal changes alone. We’re here to help you find answers and create a treatment plan that fits your life.
Medical Weight Loss Medications
When appropriate, prescription medications can be an effective part of a comprehensive weight management plan. I offer evidence-based treatment options tailored to your medical history, health goals, preferences, and individual needs.
Treatment may include FDA-approved weight management medications, as well as other individualized treatment options when clinically appropriate. During your consultation, we’ll discuss available options, including benefits, risks, expected results, insurance coverage, and out-of-pocket costs to determine the approach that best fits your needs.
Medication recommendations are always individualized, and medication is not appropriate or necessary for every patient. When medication is appropriate, it is only one part of a comprehensive treatment plan that also focuses on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and sustainable lifestyle habits.
Nutrition That Fits Your Life
There is no single “best” diet for everyone.
Instead of restrictive meal plans, I help patients develop realistic eating habits that support weight loss while fitting their lifestyle, preferences, and medical conditions. The goal is creating an approach you can maintain—not just for a few months, but for years.
Nutrition counseling focuses on improving overall health, preserving muscle mass, supporting metabolic health, and building sustainable habits.
Long-Term Success
Weight management is a chronic medical condition for many people, and long-term success requires ongoing support—not quick fixes.
Whether your goal is losing your first 20 pounds, improving your health after menopause, reducing your risk of diabetes, or maintaining weight you’ve already lost, we work together to create a plan that is realistic, evidence-based, and sustainable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to take medication?
No. Medication is only one tool. Some patients achieve their goals through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and coaching alone, while others benefit from adding prescription medications.
Will I have to stay on medication forever?
Not necessarily. Some patients use medication for a limited period, while others benefit from longer-term treatment. The decision depends on your medical history, weight loss goals, response to therapy, and risk of weight regain.
Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications?
Yes. When clinically appropriate, I prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications and, when appropriate, compounded alternatives. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the risks, benefits, costs, and the option that best fits your individual situation.
Do you offer virtual appointments?
Yes. All visits are conducted through secure telehealth, allowing patients throughout Connecticut to receive expert medical weight loss care from the comfort of home.
