The common remedy for weight gain in middle age is “eat less, move more.” That’s great advice if your hormones weren’t set on sabotaging your weight loss efforts.
An inability to lose weight during perimenopause and menopause is a common complaint from even the most active of women. Sticking to an exercise plan is even harder when you add in our busy schedules, the aches and pains of aging, and the exhaustion of just being a woman in today’s society.
As a gynecologist and Certified Menopause Provider who specializes in physician-guided weight loss, Dr. Fonda Martin of BoutiqueGYN in Atlanta can help you get to your goal weight with personalized treatment plans that combine medical weight management options and healthy living recommendations. This isn’t a restrictive diet regimen or a quick-fix solution, but real, sustainable lifestyle changes that are easy to stick with.
During perimenopause and menopause, lower levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease muscle mass, slowing down our metabolic rate and resulting in fewer calories burned. In addition, the body stores fat around our waist, which is the hardest area to lose fat.
Dr. Martin specializes in women’s weight loss solutions centered on hormone therapy and healthy habits. She knows you’re doing right by your body, but you just need a little extra help to offset the challenges menopause puts on your metabolism. By listening to you and learning about all aspects of your life, including schedule, stressors, current exercise regimen, and even your cravings, she can craft a weight loss plan to your lifestyle.
Every weight loss program at BoutiqueGYN includes regular assessments to measure your body fat percentage, muscle mass, and metabolic rate so we can track progress and adjust treatment plans.
Medical interventions aren’t the “easy way out.” Metabolic testing, prescription weight loss medications, and hormone therapy are often the best course of action to support sustainable and healthy weight loss.
In addition to her own wellness expertise, Dr. Martin works with registered nutritionists to develop healthy, science-based nutrition plans that are easy to follow and improve your overall well-being.
Take control of your health! We offer a tailored lifestyle change program that includes behavior medication, stress management, sleep optimization, and other factors that impact weight management.
If surgical weight loss is appropriate, Dr. Martin partners with and refers patients to trusted Atlanta bariatric specialists who can help you evaluate and consider your treatment options.
We understand how frustrated you are when the scale continues to creep up despite working out and denying yourself your favorite foods. At BoutiqueGYN, we want to take the stress out of midlife weight management so you can enjoy life without counting every calorie and step.
