Do you struggle to lose weight despite having tried every weight loss method? Are you frustrated by the lack of results? Diet and exercise are often not enough. While certain medications have been shown to be extremely helpful to achieve weight loss goals, the truth is that frequently, once these medications are discontinued, the weight returns. That is because they do not necessarily address the “root cause” of weight gain.
At SheMD, I take a more holistic approach to identify the underlying cause of weight gain. While often utilizing the GLP-1 receptor agonists (namely, semaglutide and tirzepatide) initially, my goal is to get you where you do not need to rely on medications for the long term.
I listen! I actually take the time to learn about all the details of how you are feeling and your health journey.
I use in-depth testing to uncover hormone imbalances and nutritional deficiencies to help you feel well now and prevent future disease.
I perform body composition analyses and measurements to track your progress and celebrate your accomplishments.
I create your personalized wellness program to help you achieve success. This may involve removing the things that are making you sick (like toxins or inflammation) and replacing them with the things you need to get well (like vitamins, nutrients, and bioidentical hormones when appropriate).
You’ll find out which supplements you need (and which ones you don’t!).
I will guide, mentor and support you to establish healthier lifestyle habits so you can thrive for life!
Prior to your initial consultation, you will complete our health intake forms so I can properly review your history and past lab results ahead of time. During the appointment, we will review your medical history so that we can establish a baseline of your current overall health and nutritional status. I’ll help you understand the most likely causes of your current health issues, and explain how I can help. Together we’ll determine which wellness program is the best fit for you.
We start with an in-depth analysis of where you are today. Based on your medical history and health goals, you’ll undergo a series of comprehensive tests to assess your current hormonal balance, your nutritional status, and your stress levels.
Once the lab analysis is complete, I’ll create your personalized wellness program to help you reach your goals and address any current symptoms and health issues. Depending on the program you choose, this may include one of our specialized nutrition or weight loss programs, mentoring on lifestyle strategies and stress management, individual regimen of highest grade nutritional supplements, and bio-identical hormone therapy where appropriate. Together, we’ll get to work to help you achieve your health goals and make your results sustainable.
There are two different programs that specifically address weight loss. The “Empower & Burn” program focuses exclusively on weight loss to help you achieve your goals. It uses the BURN process, which will help you Boost metabolism, Upgrade lifestyle, Remove toxins, and provide Nutritional support
The more comprehensive “Balance & Burn” program combines the weight loss program with the hormonal wellness program, as hormonal imbalances are often found to be an underlying factor in weight management issues. In fact, patients who are also on hormone replacement therapy tend to have even better weight loss results. Using the VITAL approach, we Vitalize hormones, Inhibit toxins, Thrive with nutrition, Activate lifestyle, and Lessen stress.
At your initial visit, we will discuss your concerns and goals to determine which program is best for you!
I saw Dr. Kahan for the first time last month. She's very nice, patient, and explains things clearly. Also, her office is very clean. I would say she's the best gynecologist.
Chloe CCDr. Kahan has excellent bedside manners. She explained everything thoroughly and answered all questions. The office was very clean and friendly staff.
