Weight & Metabolic Health
Weight and metabolic health are influenced by hormones, genetics, medications, sleep quality, stress, and life stage — not just diet and willpower. At Anchor Health, we approach weight as a medical concern within primary care, not as a separate “weight-loss program.” Our goal is sustainable health, not quick fixes.
Evaluation: Understanding the Full Picture
Every patient’s metabolic story is different. Our evaluation is designed to uncover what is driving your weight and metabolic health, not just to confirm what a scale says.
Detailed weight and health timeline: when changes began, what life events coincided, what has been tried before
Lab review and ordering: blood sugar (fasting glucose, HbA1c), cholesterol panel, thyroid function (TSH, free T4), insulin levels, inflammatory markers, and other relevant labs
Hormonal assessment: particularly for women in perimenopause, menopause, or with PCOS-related metabolic changes
Sleep, stress, and cortisol evaluation: clinical strategies to address the impact of chronic stress on metabolic function
Medication review: identifying prescriptions that may contribute to weight gain
Realistic expectations: honest conversation about what is achievable and what timeline to expect
Treatment: Individualized, Medical, Sustainable
Treatment is tailored to your biology, your goals, and your daily life. We do not prescribe one-size-fits-all plans.
Nutrition and movement guidance that is realistic, sustainable, and grounded in evidence — not fad diets
Sleep optimization and stress management strategies as core components of metabolic care
Management of contributing medical conditions: thyroid disorders, diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS
Hormone therapy for appropriate candidates where hormonal shifts are driving metabolic changes
