Not conditionally.

Not after the weight comes off or the labs improve or the world decides to agree.

Right now.

As is.

Enough.

Most of us grew up watching the women before us shrink - in energy, in voice, in health - and quietly accepted that as the script.

It doesn't have to be that way.

There's a different way to think about what midlife means for women, and it starts with asking better questions.

It's impossible to feel like ourselves when our physiology is doing this.

We don't have to "tough it out."

And we can't will it away any more than we can will away a fever.

Restrict.
Lose.
Regain.
Blame yourself.
Repeat.

That neverending cycle isn't a personal failure. It's what happens when the wrong problem gets treated.

There's a huge difference between being fearless and being brave.

Bravery is doing something despite the fear.

At Heartland Weight Loss, we celebrate bravery.

Dr. Younglove is a nerd. In her free time, she writes - merging clinical expertise with insights gained from her patients. In the upcoming months, we are going to be sharing some of the writing she has done on Substack. But first, we want to share a piece that was recently published in Obesity Pillars - the journal that clinicians practicing obesity medicine turn to learn and stay updated:

"Your labs are normal" has ended more conversations than it should have.

Normal doesn't always mean nothing is wrong.

It sometimes means the wrong things are being measured.

Is "normal" really a standard worth chasing?

Normal isn't the goal.

Thriving is.

They are not the same thing.

Not despite everything we've carried. Because of what we've done with it.

We should all adopt this mindset. It certainly makes conversations more fun.

The hardest part of starting isn't the work.

It's believing the outcome is possible after so many times of being handed the wrong tools and told to try harder.

That fear is earned.

Our Story

Heartland Weight Loss is an insurance-based Obesity Medicine office run by a physician board-certified in Obesity Medicine. At Heartland Weight Loss, we are passionate about helping patients shed excess weight and improve health. We know that the disease of obesity is not simply caused by a discrepancy between calories consumed and calories burned. We have spent countless hours studying the complex process of weight regulation and have completed advanced training in the field of Obesity Medicine. There is no magic pill or secret gimmick that causes weight loss, but there is medical treatment based upon solid science. We tailor individual treatment plans using this science. In addition, we offer our patients education, accountability and support as they progress through the difficult journey of weight loss.
