Jenn’s youngest child left for college this fall, and she anticipated having more energy with her newfound freedom. Instead, she began to notice troubling changes: forgetfulness, slower thinking, and a lack of connection to her usual sharp self. “Maybe it’s just because I’m getting older,” she thought. At 50, Jenn assumed these feelings were normal.
During a routine visit, her doctor recommended weight loss to improve her cholesterol and triglycerides. That’s when Jenn reached out to MedRedux at LWell for a weight loss consultation.
“I wanted weight loss medication from a trustworthy source,” Jenn shared. “But stepping on the scale had always been so frustrating. I’d worked hard to lose weight — I exercised, ate mostly the right things — but I didn’t want to face disappointment again.”
To her surprise, the team at LWell approached things differently. Instead of focusing solely on her weight, they took a detailed body composition reading to analyze her adipose tissue, fluid, and skeletal muscle mass. Combined with a comprehensive health assessment conducted by owner Caroline Fornshell, MS, RDN, CDCES, CES, this data formed the foundation for Jenn’s personalized program. Caroline also kept Jenn’s doctor informed every step of the way.
It was determined that Jenn could start weight loss medication immediately, but the team recognized the need for a deeper evaluation of her hormone balance. Nurse practitioner Toni Colton set up specialized hormone testing, and Dr. Jaime Reid, a PharmD, conducted an in-depth analysis of Jenn’s hormone levels, thyroid function, and symptoms.
The results were eye-opening. Jenn’s menopause-related hormonal changes were affecting her brain function, energy levels, and overall health. With a precise dose of safe, bioidentical hormones, Jenn began to feel like herself again. “All of a sudden, my energy came back,” Jenn said. “I started playing pickleball, making new friends, and even remembering names!”
Jenn also worked with an LWell registered dietitian to optimize her nutrition, which, combined with the small dose of weight loss medication, transformed her body in ways she never thought possible.
“My doctor is amazing and keeps me healthy, but the functional medicine team at LWell truly optimized my health so I could live my best life every day,” Jenn shared. “This is the life I always imagined I’d have after raising my kids. I can’t stress enough how important it is for women to get this kind of analysis done!”
Jenn’s transformation even inspired her husband to take action. “He saw how much my energy and confidence improved, and he decided to schedule his own consultation,” Jenn said. Now, he’s working with the LWell team to improve his sleep and lower his blood pressure.
Jenn’s story is a testament to the power of a personalized, whole-health approach. If you’re ready to rediscover your energy, focus, and confidence, the team at LWell is here to help.
