Struggling with inflammation,
metabolic changes and weight gain
Many women notice sudden changes in weight, energy, cravings, cycles, and overall resilience during hormonal transition. You may feel like your body no longer responds the way it used to, even when your habits have not changed. Irregular periods, skipped cycles, worsening PMS/PMDD, fatigue, inflammation, and stubborn belly weight often occur together during this phase.
This area of the practice focuses on metabolic and hormonal patterns that may contribute to insulin resistance, pre/diabetes, increased cholesterol values, PCOS/PMOS, chronic inflammation, blood sugar instability, cortisol imbalance, and perimenopausal and menopausal changes. Patients often seek support for fatigue, cravings, brain fog, energy crashes and difficulty losing weight.
Care is individualized and built for long-term support, with no restrictive dieting or quick fixes. Some of the therapies used at our practice: lab optimization, root cause investigation, nutritional education, medication, GLP1/2RA medications and medical coaching/supervision.
Dr. Sharhan works best with patients who hold realistic expectations about weight loss. Pushing beyond reality and emotional pressure do not change hormonal weight gain, so her approach is steady, practical, and compassionate, with goals that can be sustained over time.
