Weight loss and obesity isn’t a willpower problem.

Most people who struggle with weight have tried. Over and over.

They’ve tracked, restricted, exercised harder, skipped meals, blamed themselves, and felt ashamed when the scale didn’t move — or moved right back up.

What we know now is this:
Obesity is not a character flaw. It’s a complex medical condition.

Hormones matter.
Insulin resistance matters.
Chronic stress, cortisol, sleep deprivation, trauma, medications, perimenopause, genetics, gut health — all of it plays a role in how your body stores fat and resists change.
Your brain is also involved. Appetite regulation, satiety signals, food noise, and cravings all play a role here.

That’s why telling someone to “just eat less and move more” often fails.

Medically assisted weight loss exists to level the playing field, not replace effort.

It helps calm food noise, improve insulin sensitivity, regulate appetite, and finally allow lifestyle changes to work the way they were supposed to all along.

This isn’t about shortcuts.
It’s about support, education, and treating obesity like the medical condition it is.

If you’re ready to stop fighting your body and start working with it, 2026 can be the year you finally reach your goals and keep them.

Will testosterone make you go bald?
Short answer.... no.

It can cause someone with a genetic predisposition for balding to bald a little faster.

Testosterone isn't just a 'male hormone.' Women naturally produce testosterone, and it plays a critical role in energy muscle tone, metabolism, mood, s*x drive, and confidence. When testosterone declines--especially during perimenopause and menopause, women often notice fatigue, stubborn belly fat, loss of strength, low motivation, brain fog, and loss of interest in s*x.

In women, healthy testosterone supports

-lean muscle and body recomposition
-metabolic health and insulin sensitivity
-libido, arousal, and satisfaction
-mental clarity, drive, and confidence
-improved bone density and injury prevention

Low testosterone in women is common - but rarely discussed or addressed. Lifestyle matters, but it can not always restore declining hormones. This is where individualized evidence based bioidentical hormone replacement can make a meaningful difference!

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, let's start 2026 with a tailored plan for you 💪🏾

When labs are reviewed, the question isn’t ‘Is this normal?’
The better question is ‘Is this optimal for you?’

At ANU Wellness, lab values are interpreted with higher standards—because better health requires more than falling inside a reference range.
