Medical Weight Loss in Mason City, Iowa

A balanced, realistic approach to weight loss — with support that actually makes sense.

Most people don’t gain weight because they’re lazy or undisciplined. They gain weight because their hormones change, their metabolism slows down, stress increases, sleep gets disrupted, and insulin becomes harder to manage. And when everything feels “off,” traditional dieting doesn’t work — because it’s not addressing the real issue.

Help you understand why your weight has changed and create a plan that fits your life, not the other way around.

No shame.
No extreme diets.
No unrealistic promises.
Just a steady, supportive path forward.

For both men and women, weight becomes harder to control when:

-Insulin becomes less sensitive
- Cortisol stays elevated from chronic stress
- Thyroid slows down
- Sex hormones shift (perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone)
- Sleep quality drops
- Inflammation increases
 

And when these systems work against you, your metabolism does too.

Once we understand what’s happening underneath, everything starts to make sense.

GLP-1s aren’t magic, but they are a tool — and for the right person, they can be transformative.

They help by improving:

- Insulin sensitivity
- Blood sugar regulation
- Hunger and cravings
- Fullness cues
- Metabolic efficiency
 

But they work best when they’re used alongside a clear plan for metabolism, nutrition, thyroid, stress, and long-term habits.

This is where my role comes in.

While GLP-1's are transforming lives, like all medications, it comes with potential side effects which are generally mild and improve over time:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Abdominal pain
• Decreased appetite
• Fatigue
