Nutrition & Weight
If the old rules have stopped working and the scale will not budge, it may not be about willpower. Hormones, life stage, and nutrition all play a role. We help you sort out what your body actually needs, with medical expertise behind every recommendation.
Three pillars of support
Individualized, physician-informed care instead of another generic diet.
Dietary Counseling
One-on-one guidance from our registered dietitians to build an eating pattern that fits your body, your goals, and your real schedule. Sustainable, not extreme.
Targeted Supplements
Evidence-informed recommendations to fill genuine gaps, based on your needs rather than trends. Only what makes sense for you.
Medical Weight Support
Weight guidance within a physician-led practice, drawing on Dr. Nusbaum's deep experience in weight management, so your plan is grounded in real medicine.
The nutrition and hormone connection
Why the same effort that once worked can suddenly stop delivering results.
Hormones influence how your body stores fat, manages hunger, and uses energy. Shifts during perimenopause, menopause, and other life stages can make weight harder to manage even when your habits have not changed, which is deeply frustrating and entirely real.
That is why we do not treat nutrition and hormones as separate conversations. When it is relevant, we look at the whole picture, so your plan works with your body rather than against it. For many women, that connected approach is exactly what has been missing.

Common questions
Is this just another diet?
No. There is no gimmick and no one-size plan. We build a realistic, personalized approach around your body, your preferences, and your goals, with the aim of results you can actually maintain.
Why is weight harder to manage as I get older?
Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause change how your body stores fat and regulates hunger and energy. The same habits can stop producing the same results. Understanding that is the first step to a plan that works with your body.
Do I need supplements?
Only if they genuinely help you. We recommend supplements to fill real gaps based on your needs, never as a default or an upsell. If you do not need something, we will tell you.
Can you help with medical weight management?
Yes. Our practice is led by Dr. Michael J. Nusbaum, MD, FACS, FASMBS, who brings extensive experience in weight management. Your care is grounded in real medicine, with a plan tailored to you.
How is my nutrition managed day to day?
Your day-to-day nutrition is guided by our registered dietitians and care team, within a physician-led practice. You get both practical support and clinical oversight.
Do you accept insurance?
We offer self-pay options and accept insurance when your plan covers the services. Our team will help you understand your options before you begin.
