Energize Health and Hormones

Women today aren’t just living longer — they’re working longer, staying active longer, and expecting their health to support a full, engaged life at every age. That shift has quietly changed the conversation around healthcare. It’s no longer just about treating problems when they show up, but about staying ahead of them, decade by decade.

Preventive, concierge-style primary care makes that possible. Instead of reacting to symptoms in isolation, it looks at the long arc of health — how choices, screenings, hormones, and lifestyle compound over time. When approached thoughtfully, each decade becomes an opportunity to build strength rather than recover from loss. Read this story below.

As the new year begins, conversations around weight loss tend to get louder—and more confusing. New programs promise fast results, social media fills with dramatic transformations, and resolutions often rely on willpower alone. For many people, especially those navigating hormonal or metabolic changes, this cycle can feel discouraging rather than motivating.

Women navigating menopause may require a different strategy than men managing insulin resistance or stress-related weight gain. Some patients benefit from GLP-1 medications early on, while others may focus first on hormone balance or metabolic support. Read this article below.

To learn more about functional medicine–guided weight loss or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Heidi Queen, MD, call (415) 548-7901 today.

Exploring medical weight loss begins with a conversation—not a commitment. If your new year goals include feeling healthier, stronger, and more supported in your body, working with a provider who prioritizes prevention and personalized care can make all the difference.

Your heart is remarkably dependable. It beats all day, every day, without asking for much attention in return. And because it works so quietly in the background, heart health is often something people don’t think about until there’s a problem. At Energize Health and Hormones, Dr. Heidi Queen, MD takes a different approach — focusing on prevention, early awareness, and sustainable lifestyle habits that support the heart long before symptoms appear. Read the full story below.

Heart health doesn’t improve overnight, but small, steady changes add up faster than most people expect. Within weeks or months, many people notice better energy, improved lab values, and a greater sense of control over their health.

Most women know that sleep tends to get tricky during perimenopause and beyond—but what often gets overlooked is how deeply connected that sleep disruption is to long-term heart health.

A recent study following women through midlife is putting a sharper point on this connection: women who maintained healthy sleep habits during the menopause transition had significantly lower long-term risks of cardiovascular disease and early death. Read the full story below.

Better sleep, stronger heart health, and a customized plan for hormonal balance can reshape a woman’s health trajectory well into later life. And no one should have to navigate that alone.

For many women, menopause marks a turning point in how the body stores and manages weight. Pounds seem to appear almost overnight—often settling stubbornly around the waistline—despite no major changes in diet or exercise. This frustrating pattern isn’t a matter of willpower or discipline; it’s the result of deeply rooted hormonal and metabolic changes that accompany midlife. Read the full story below.
