Why I’m All In On Obesity Medicine

Helping people become the best version of themselves is incredibly rewarding. I call it “Happy Medicine.” At Options, I get to educate patients about the biological, psychological, and social factors behind obesity and guide them through each hurdle toward lasting success.

What I love most is seeing patients feel confident in their own skin and take control of their health. When I explain metabolic dysfunction and how insulin resistance plays a role in weight gain, it’s empowering. The science clicks—and that’s the moment they realize they can take control.

Seeing that light bulb moment, celebrating victories, and helping patients understand the “why” behind their struggle—that’s what makes this work so fulfilling.
