Dr. Michelle Gordon | Obesity Doctor | Menopause Doctor | Longevity Doctor | Recovering Surgeon |Stories | World Traveler | Opinions not Advice | I was a surgeon for 20 years.

Built a multi-million dollar practice from scratch. Then I burned out and walked away from everything I'd built. When I pivoted to obesity medicine, I found the patients no one was treating well. Midlife women who were doing everything right and still gaining weight. Women whose doctors told them their labs were normal and to just try harder. I kept hearing the same story. The effort never changed. The biology did. And nobody was explaining why. So that became my work. I study the physiology of weight regulation in midlife women. I've listened to thousands of them describe the same pattern. And I built a practice around the kind of medicine they deserve: a physician who stays, watches the pattern over time, and makes decisions as the biology shifts. I offer education for women who want to understand what's happening in their bodies, and a clinic for those who want a long-term medical partner in managing a chronic disease. https://drmichellegordon.com
Obesity medicine grounded in physiology, not blame.

The FDA approved Wegovy HD yesterday. Semaglutide at 7.2 mg. Three times the current max dose. Approved in 54 days under national priority status. They also flagged skin sensitivity as a side effect at the higher dose. Here’ s what you need to know.

Losing and gaining over and over isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a chronic disease adapting to repeated short-term strategies. Here’s the physiology behind cycling and why each attempt gets harder.

Here’s what the science says right now about “feeling flat” on GLP-1 medications.

Obesity is a chronic relapsing disease. I gained 50 pounds with pregnancy and never lost it until I started a GLP-1 in December of 2024.

I’m not just an obesity doctor, I’m a patient.

Also, I don’t drink anymore. Gave that up when I realized it caused crippling anxiety.

Why do we see more obesity now than in the past?
