If you’re gaining weight despite doing “everything right,” it’s not your fault — and it’s not in your head.
We take unintended weight gain seriously and approach it with curiosity, science, and compassion.
🧪 What we assess:
We dig into possible drivers like:
Insulin resistance or prediabetes
Thyroid function and reverse T3
Hormone shifts (estrogen, testosterone, leptin, cortisol)
Sleep quality and recovery
Inflammation and gut health
Mitochondrial dysfunction and nutrient depletion
Medications known to promote weight gain (SSRIs, antihistamines, beta blockers, OCPs, etc.)
⚖️ Our 5-pillar strategy:
🥗 Nutrition
Blood sugar balance and satiety cues
Real food + flexible patterns (e.g., protein-first, fiber-rich)
Glucose-aware meal timing
Tools to reduce decision fatigue
🏃 Movement
Daily activity and resistance training (not punishment)
Post-meal walks for insulin sensitivity
Pacing and fatigue-aware support if you’re burned out or chronically ill
😴 Sleep
Sleep timing and circadian rhythm anchoring
Screening for apnea, insomnia, perimenopausal shifts
Strategies for deeper, longer recovery
❤️🩹 Emotional Resilience
Stress-related weight gain is real (via cortisol and coping loops)
Trauma-informed support: somatic tools, therapy referrals, or journaling
Nervous system regulation is part of your metabolic plan
💊 Tests, Medications & Supplements
Supplements are chosen based on labs and symptoms, and may include:
Inositol, berberine, magnesium, chromium, NAC, and adaptogens
Medication options may include:
Metformin — for insulin resistance or PCOS
GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists (tirzepatide, semaglutide) — for appetite regulation and metabolic reset
Bupropion — especially if weight gain overlaps with mood or motivation challenges
Naltrexone/bupropion (Contrave) — in select cases
Zonisamide or topiramate — when weight gain relates to appetite dysregulation, sleep, or mood
Spironolactone — for androgen-driven weight gain or PCOS
We choose meds based on your mechanisms — not the latest trend.
🧠 This is about systems, not willpower
Unintended weight gain is often a downstream effect of upstream imbalances — not a failure of discipline. We focus on mechanisms, data, and long-term strategy — not shame, restriction, or one-size-fits-all plans.
