In 2020, Dr. Shah started asking the question, “what type of weight center would I want for myself?” She envisioned a simple yet innovative clinic that incorporated technology to streamline both the patient and physician experience and entailed access to comprehensive medical obesity treatments. She structured her clinic around the micro-practice model which is medical clinic model that usually includes a solo physician, minimal-to-no staff and streamlined systems to keep overhead low and keep quality high. Weight Sense Lake Nona is a practice that focuses on exceptional patient services and values the importance of the time necessary to provide in depth evaluations and comprehensive weight care services. As such, Weight Sense Lake Nona, is a private pay practice and insurance is not accepted. This allows patients the time necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment with your physician. Cash, check and most major credit cards are accepted. If you have an insurance plan that includes out of network reimbursement, you may request a receipt that includes the necessary information to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. For more information, please contact us today. We will be happy to discuss pricing and address any questions you have.

A new study in The Lancet just confirmed what I see in practice every day: combining hormone therapy with GLP-1/GIP medications like tirzepatide may lead to better outcomes than either approach alone.

Women using combination therapy lost 15.5% of their body weight vs 12.5% with tirzepatide alone - PLUS better management of hot flashes, sleep issues, and metabolic markers.

But here's what matters most: this isn't one-size-fits-all.
In my practice, I use a layered approach - we start with what's most problematic for the you right now. Maybe that's the weight. Maybe it's the estrogen deficiency impacting the way the body functions. Maybe it's both.

We work TOGETHER to build a plan that makes sense for your body, your life, and your goals.

Fiber is the part of food we don’t digest, and that’s exactly why it helps.
Think of it as a gentle broom for your gut, helping sweep everything along and out.

Constipation is common, especially when appetite is lower on anti-obesity or GLP-1 medications. And one of the biggest missing pieces we see? Fiber.

When portions get smaller, fiber intake often drops without people realizing it. That’s when digestion slows and discomfort shows up.

Here’s why fiber is so important during weight loss ⬇️

✔️ Supports regular digestion
Fiber adds bulk and helps move stool through the gut more efficiently.

✔️ Helps prevent constipation
Especially important on GLP-1s, where digestion naturally slows.

✔️ Improves fullness without overeating
Fiber helps you feel satisfied between meals — even with smaller portions.

✔️ Supports blood sugar balance
Fiber slows carbohydrate absorption and helps reduce spikes and crashes.

✔️ Feeds gut-healthy bacteria
A healthy gut supports digestion, immunity, and long-term metabolic health.

✔️ Supports sustainable weight loss
Fiber helps weight loss feel more comfortable and easier to maintain.

💡 Fiber works best when paired with adequate fluids — focusing on one without the other often leads to bloating, not relief.

👉 Read the full blog to learn how much fiber you need, the best sources, and how to increase it without discomfort.

Nausea can happen with GLP-1 medications, especially early on. It doesn’t mean the medication is failing or that something is wrong. 😖

If GLP-1s made you nauseous, this is what I check first.
✔️ Large meals
✔️ Eating too fast
✔️ High-fat or greasy foods
✔️ Skipping meals
✔️ Dehydration
✔️ Eating late at night

Nausea is more common after dose increases. This is why gradual titration and patience matter.
GLP-1 nausea is usually behavior-triggered, not random — and that means it’s often manageable. Understanding why nausea happens helps you prevent it. 😄

Skipping protein or eating too little can lead to fatigue, weakness, plateaus, and less sustainable results, even if the scale is moving.

Here’s why protein matters so much, especially while on medication ⬇️

✔️ Preserves muscle mass 💪
When you lose weight, your body can lose fat and muscle. Protein helps protect muscle, which keeps your metabolism stronger.

✔️ Supports metabolism 🔄
Muscle burns more calories than fat. Keeping muscle means your body uses energy more efficiently.

✔️ Improves fullness & appetite control 🍳
Protein keeps you fuller longer and helps reduce cravings — with or without medication.

✔️ Stabilizes blood sugar 🩸
Protein slows digestion and helps prevent spikes and crashes that can drive hunger and fatigue.

✔️ Supports strength, energy & recovery⚡
Low protein can lead to weakness, hair thinning, fatigue, and slower healing.

✔️ Enhances weight-loss results 🏃♀️
People who prioritize protein tend to lose more fat and maintain results longer.

A healthy diet is the foundation of long-term success. Whether you use medication or not, nutrition is what teaches your body how to function well.🥑

Weight loss medications don’t replace healthy eating, they work best alongside it.
Without a supportive diet, results may stall, side effects increase, and progress won’t last.🤝

A healthy diet doesn’t mean “perfect” eating.
It means consistency, balance, and patterns your body can trust.🏃

At Weight Sense, we don’t separate nutrition from medical care — because real success comes from treating the whole person. 💪

With the holidays in full swing and the end of the year fast approaching, you're probably feeling squeezed for time.

Lately in clinic, I've been hearing the same thing from my patients: they are thinking there is no time for self-care. Between work deadlines, kids' activities, and all the demands of the season, it feels like everything is pulling you in different directions.

Here are some questions you can answer to help you finishing the year strong.

When you focus on the few things that really help you reach your health goals, you can still do great without trying to be perfect or do everything at once.

Also, If you're feeling guilty about prioritizing self-care, remember this: taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's essential.

When you invest in your wellbeing, you show up stronger for your family, your colleagues, and everyone who depends on you.

Good health gives you the resilience to bounce back from illness and be there when others need you most. You can't pour from an empty cup. Putting yourself first isn't taking away from others—it's what enables you to give your best to them.

🚨BREAKING NEWS!🚨
Last week the White House announced new agreements that could significantly lower the cost of weight loss medications in 2026 to potentially $149/month for new oral options (orforglipron is an oral GLP-1 being studied and may be released next year) and ~$350/month for injection like Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro.

Failure is actually the "other success" – just one way something hasn't worked until you find the way it does work. Failure is inevitable (and so is success).

Think about it like this: if I asked you to write with your non-dominant hand right now, you'd struggle. Your handwriting would be messy, shaky, barely legible. But if you kept at it – practicing every day – eventually you'd figure it out.

You'd get better.

That's exactly how weight loss and the behavioral skills required to do life differently work.

It just takes iterations, repetition, and re-tries.
You're not a failure if you haven't figured it out. You just haven't figured it out YET.

When you try something new, you're probably going to stumble. Once, twice, maybe a bunch of times before it clicks. That's just how it goes when you challenge yourself. The real question is: what are you actually going to do about it?

Most people dodge situations where they might fail. Or they take a shot or two and then tell everyone, "See, I tried and nothing works!" Sure, that's one approach – but it's definitely not getting you where you want to go.

So what's actually better?

When you don't get it, accept it. Don't pretend it didn't happen. It was always a possible outcome. And don't beat yourself up either. It just means you haven't mastered the skill yet. It's not about your worth.

Next, figure out what went wrong. And work to make it better. 💬
