About
Midlife Weight
Weight that has crept up or settled differently since your late 30s or 40s, often alongside sleep changes, hot flashes or mood shifts. Medical weight loss at Thrive brings together a metabolic evaluation, InBody body composition scans, lifestyle coaching and medication options when appropriate, guided by Dr. Marcy Meyer, MD, MSCP.
Dr. Marcy Meyer, MD, MSCP, is a U.S. Army-trained family medicine physician and a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, with more than 20 years of clinical experience. You see her at every visit, in person in University Place.
Is Medical Weight Loss Right for Me?
Women often come to Thrive when:
Weight has crept up or shifted since their late 30s or 40s
Weight changes arrived alongside hot flashes, sleep changes or cycle changes
They want to know whether medication is an option, from a physician who knows their full history
They want menopause care and weight care in one plan
They want progress measured by more than the scale
Weight changes can trace back to perimenopause and menopause, along with hot flashes, sleep changes and mood shifts.
An InBody scan measures muscle, body fat and water, and the Midlife Upgrade repeats it to track your progress.
