Why This Is Different
Most weight loss advice ignores muscle. Most muscle advice ignores midlife. And most midlife advice ignores the fact that you might be on a GLP-1 or thinking about coming off one.
​
I look at the whole picture: food, movement, sleep, stress, hormones, lifestyle, and the medication you’re on or just stopped. We'll work together to change your habits so that the progress you have made lasts. That’s integrative medicine.
Health and Wellness Coaching: We combine clinical expertise with 1 on 1 or group coaching to provide a seamless path to long-term wellness and strength that will fit your life.
What I Do
I'm Dr. Lisa Schwartz. I help women in midlife stay strong, eat well, and protect the progress they've made on a GLP-1, including after they stop taking it.
​
You don't need another diet. You need a plan that fits your life, your hormones, and your goals after 40.
Why I focus on women in midlife on GLP-1's
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide work. They’ve helped many women lose weight they couldn’t lose any other way. But two things happen that don’t get enough attention:
​
-
Muscle gets lost with the fat. That matters more after 40 than at any other point in life.
​
-
The weight tends to come back when the medication stops. Unless you’ve built the habits to keep it off.
​
This is the gap I help women close. We protect muscle while you’re on the medication. We build a plan for what happens when you taper off. And we work on the rest of midlife (sleep, stress, hormones, energy) at the same time.
How I work
I look at the whole person. That means your nutrition, movement, stress, sleep, and how you're actually living. Then we make changes that fit your real life, not a fantasy version of it.
​
You won't get a supplement list you don't need or jargon you have to look up. If a habit or treatment is working for you, let's keep it. If it isn't, let's figure it out together. Your time and your energy are limited, and the plan you leave with should respect that.
​
The work is collaborative. You bring what you already know about your body and what you've tried before. I bring what I know about medicine and midlife. The plan we build together is one you can actually live with — on a busy week, on a hard day, and even when your whole schedule falls apart.
