Weight loss can bring incredible health benefits — better energy, better labs, better mobility — but it’s also okay to admit the other side of the journey:

Sometimes, as we lose weight, we lose volume in places we want to keep it… like the cheeks.
Many people feel surprised when they look in the mirror and notice:

- a slightly hollowed look
- more visible jowls
- deepened smile or marionette lines
- a general “tired” appearance, even if they feel great

This isn’t “aging overnight” — it’s often fat redistribution + collagen loss, which naturally happens during and after weight loss.

The good news?
We can support the skin from the inside and outside.
Your skin is collagen-hungry, and we can feed it.

Collagen-supporting strategies:
• Increase vitamin C–rich foods (key cofactor for collagen synthesis)
• Add zinc, silica, and antioxidants through whole foods
• Incorporate strength training for facial and body tone
• Use topical retinoids, peptides, and microneedling for collagen remodeling
• Consider treatments like microneedling, RF microneedling, or biostimulators
• Prioritize protein — your skin is literally made of it

And because food is the most accessible starting point, here’s the collagen-boosting smoothie we love sharing with our patients!

When the temperature drops, motivation can drop right along with it. ❄️

A lot of our patients crushed their goals all summer with outdoor walks and sunshine — and now they’re asking, “What do I do when it’s cold and dark?”

Here are cozy, energizing ways to keep your routine going:
• Hot yoga or heated Pilates
Great for flexibility, core strength, and that “I-miss-summer” warmth.
• Strength training
The best metabolism support, especially in winter when NEAT naturally dips.
• Dance, barre, or fun group classes
Keeps movement exciting (and gives you something to look forward to).
• Infrared sauna or steam sessions — pre or post workout
Before a workout, the heat can increase blood flow and loosen muscles so you feel more ready to move.
After a workout, it boosts recovery, relaxation, and can help reduce cortisol — all helpful for long-term weight management.
(And let’s be honest… sometimes you just need to feel warm to want to work out.)

Think of winter as your “reset season,” not a setback.
Your body — and your sanity — will thank you when spring rolls around.

Our Revolution Medicine provider Rachel Mack, PA-C, just returned from Uganda, where she partnered with Love One International to provide life-saving care for children in remote communities.

In many parts of Uganda, families face enormous barriers to accessing medical treatment. Love One bridges that gap—offering emergency healthcare, nutrition, and education so children can heal and thrive.

In celebration of her birthday this month, Rachel is inviting anyone who feels moved to join her in supporting this mission. 💛

Last week, our Revolution Medicine team had the opportunity to attend the Health & Wellness Fair — an inspiring event bringing together clinicians, innovators, and community members dedicated to advancing heart health and preventive care.

We loved connecting with fellow healthcare professionals, sharing our approach to metabolic health, lifestyle medicine, and weight management, and learning from the latest in cardiometabolic research.

Here’s to bridging the gap between cardiology and obesity medicine! 🫀✨

Why Your Baseline SECA Scan Matters

If you’ve started (or are planning to start) strength training, getting a baseline body composition scan is one of the most valuable tools you can use to track real progress.
Weight alone doesn’t tell the full story — SECA scans measure muscle, fat, and water composition, helping you and your care team make smarter decisions about nutrition, dosing, and overall metabolic health.

We recommend repeating your SECA every 3–6 months to see how your strength and body composition are changing — not just the number on the scale.

📅 Haven’t had your baseline SECA yet?
Sign up today or speak with our admin team to schedule your scan and start tracking what really matters.
