Weight gain during perimenopause and menopause is not a willpower problem. It's a hormone problem. As estrogen and testosterone decline, your body loses muscle, gains fat, and stores it differently - particularly around the abdomen. Your metabolism literally changes. And conventional weight loss advice that worked before often stops working entirely.
The goal isn't just to lose weight. It's to build a stronger, healthier body that functions optimally - and that means preserving muscle while losing fat, not just reducing the number on the scale.
Dr. Toubi's weight loss approach is built on understanding your metabolism, your hormones, and your body composition - and addressing all three simultaneously. This means losing fat while maintaining or building lean muscle, which is the only way to achieve lasting metabolic health.
HRT supports lean muscle, fat distribution, and metabolic function from the inside out.
Protein-focused nutrition and strength training protect your metabolism - muscle IS your metabolism.
InBody scanning tracks real progress - fat loss, muscle gain, and metabolic rate - not just scale weight.
For patients with appetite dysregulation or insulin resistance, targeted medication accelerates and sustains results.
GLP-1 and GIP medications (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide) represent a significant advance in medical weight management. They work with your body's natural hormonal systems to regulate appetite, slow digestion, and improve insulin sensitivity - making it significantly easier to sustain a caloric deficit without the misery of constant hunger.
But medication alone is never the answer. Dr. Toubi integrates GLP-1 therapy with hormone evaluation, strength training guidance, and nutrition coaching to ensure you're losing fat and protecting muscle - not just losing weight.
If menopause-related weight changes are frustrating you, Dr. Toubi's Beverly Hills practice offers a medically integrated approach that addresses your hormones, metabolism, and body composition together. Schedule a consultation to build a plan that actually works.
