Clinical education on midlife metabolic physiology and obesity medicine. The biology did.

Substack: drmichellegordon.substack.com
Website: https://drgordon.me 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 the

ir labs were normal and to just try harder. I kept hearing the same story. The effort never changed. 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
