Weight Gain
Weight gain during midlife is often tied to shifting hormone levels that influence metabolism, fat storage, appetite signals and insulin sensitivity. As estrogen, progesterone and testosterone fall or become imbalanced, the body tends to store fat more readily—especially around the abdomen. Many women notice that even with consistent eating and exercise habits, weight begins to creep upward. This process can feel discouraging, especially when it pairs with bloating, slowed digestion, or changes in muscle tone. These are not failures in discipline—they’re biological shifts happening beneath the surface.
Dr. Gail Jackson helps women understand the hormonal forces behind these changes and offers corrective care rather than short-term fixes. Through hormone testing, bioidentical hormone therapy, and comprehensive midlife wellness programs, she works to restore balance so the metabolism can function more efficiently again. Her clinic also offers a structured weight-loss program designed to complement hormonal support, giving women a realistic, medically grounded way to manage weight that aligns with how their bodies are changing.
