Top-Rated Medical Weight Loss Clinic in Austin

Weight gain is not always a result of poor habits. Hormones, metabolism, health conditions, and major life changes can all affect how your body responds.

At Women’s Health Domain, our medical weight loss program takes a personalized approach to weight management. Doctors at our weight loss clinic do not just look at the scale. They also look at what may be making weight loss difficult and create a plan that fits your health needs. According to the CDC, more than 40% of U.S. adults have obesity, which is why a medical approach that considers overall health can be beneficial.

Why Women Struggle to Lose Weight?

Weight loss for women can become more challenging as the body changes. The approach that helped before may not deliver the same results today.

The most common reasons why women struggle with weight include:

  • Hormonal changes
  • PCOS 
  • Insulin resistance
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Perimenopause and menopause
  • Pregnancy-related changes
  • Stress and poor sleep
  • Age-related metabolism changes

Signs You May Benefit From a Medical Weight Loss Program

There are some signs that suggest you need to visit a weight management clinic for a personalized weight loss program.

  • BMI above healthy range
  • Hormonal weight gain in women
  • Weight does not change despite your best efforts
  • You lose weight but keep gaining it back
  • PCOS makes weight management difficult
  • Menopause has changed your body
  • Cravings, low energy, or emotional eating feel hard to control
  • You are dealing with insulin resistance, prediabetes, high blood pressure, or cholesterol concerns
  • Joint pain from excess weight

Weight loss doctors here at Women’s Health Domain can help you understand what is making weight loss difficult and recommend treatment options based on your health.

Our Medical Weight Loss Plan for Women in Austin

Every woman has a different reason for seeking weight loss support. Some are dealing with hormonal changes, some are recovering after pregnancy, and others have struggled with weight for years.

Comprehensive Medical Evaluation

Before recommending treatment, we perform a comprehensive medical evaluation.

We look at:

  • Your health background
  • Weight history and past efforts
  • Medications you take
  • Daily habits
  • Hormone-related symptoms
  • Other health concerns

Via this medical evaluation, we try our best to uncover what may be standing in the way of your progress.

Body Composition & Health Assessment

We don’t rely on the scale alone. We also consider:

  • BMI
  • Waist measurement
  • Body composition
  • Metabolic health
  • Your weight goals

Customized Treatment Plan

Your weight loss plan may involve:

  • Nutrition changes
  • Exercise recommendations
  • Behavioral coaching
  • Medical options when needed
  • Ongoing progress tracking

Medical Weight Loss Treatments Our Doctors Offer in Austin

Women’s Health Domain provides physician-guided treatment options based on your health, goals, and medical history.

Treatment may include:

  • Prescription weight loss medications
  • GLP-1 medications when appropriate
  • Nutrition support
  • B12 injections when recommended
  • Follow-up care

Many women ask about GLP-1 and PCOS because these medications may help some patients with appetite control and blood sugar regulation. Your provider will review your health history and help you decide if this option makes sense for you.

Medical Weight Loss for Hormonal Conditions

  • Weight Loss for PCOS: PCOS can make weight loss harder because of hormone and insulin changes. A plan focused on PCOS and weight loss can help you manage these challenges.
  • Weight Loss During Perimenopause: Many women find that the weight loss tips that worked before no longer give the same results during perimenopause. Our weight loss doctors develop treatment plans that can help you find what works best for your body.
  • Weight Loss After Menopause: After menopause, lower estrogen levels can affect body fat distribution and metabolism, which can make it harder to lose weight even if your habits have not changed. 
  • Weight Loss With Thyroid Disorders: Thyroid problems can make it harder to maintain a healthy weight and may leave you feeling tired. Understanding your thyroid health is an important part of creating a complete plan.
  • Postpartum Weight Loss: Pregnancy and childbirth create major changes in the body. Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or are looking for postpartum weight loss after a C-section, we create a plan that supports your recovery and weight goals.

Dr. Boswell is fantastic! I recently moved to Austin and searched for a Doctor that also considers a holistic approach. She was thorough with her questions, and I appreciate her approach to my women’s healthcare needs.

  • High blood pressure
