THIS MASTER CLASS IS FOR YOU
Your body isn’t broken — it’s just been misunderstood.
Women experience unique biological and hormonal factors that can make weight loss far more complex than standard programs acknowledge.
Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, chronic stress, and years of restrictive dieting can all impact metabolism, appetite, energy levels, and fat storage.
This is why we focus on helping you lose weight in a way that is sustainable and allows you to keep it off.
Most weight loss programs fail women because they ignore these realities.
At Renew Health & Wellness, we take a different approach. We evaluate the full picture, your hormones, metabolism, medical history, symptoms, and goals, to create a plan that works with your body, not against it.
The Approach
A smarter path to lasting weight loss
This is not a one-size-fits-all program. Our medically supervised process is personalized to your body and adjusted as your needs evolve.
STEP 01
In-Depth Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Jennifer. Together, you’ll review your health history, symptoms, medications, lifestyle, and goals to uncover what may actually be driving your weight challenges.
STEP 02
Lab Work & Metabolic Assessment
We assess key metabolic and hormonal markers, including:
Hormones
Thyroid function
Fasting insulin
Blood sugar
Inflammatory markers
This helps us understand the root causes behind your weight — not just the number on the scale.
STEP 03
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your consultation and lab results, Jennifer creates a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
Your plan may include:
Lifestyle & nutrition strategies
Oral medications
Injectable GLP-1 therapies
Hormone optimization
Combination treatment approaches
STEP 04
Ongoing Support & Adjustments
Weight loss is an ongoing process. Your progress is monitored closely, and your plan is adjusted as your body responds, giving you the guidance and support you need to maintain your results and keep the weight off.
What We Offer
Tools that work — chosen for you,
not just anyone.
No single treatment works for every woman. Every plan is personalized based on your hormones, metabolism, medical history, and long-term goals.
Our Philosophy
We treat what’s driving the weight — not just the weight itself.
Weight loss and metabolic health are deeply connected. That’s why every patient receives a whole-body evaluation, not simply a prescription, so you can not only lose weight but keep it off for the long term.
Metabolic Health & Body Composition
Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and insulin directly affect fat storage, energy levels, and metabolism. We assess and address hormonal imbalances as part of your treatment plan — especially during perimenopause and menopause.
Metabolic Health & Body Composition
An underactive or poorly functioning thyroid can significantly impact metabolism and make weight loss feel impossible. We perform a more comprehensive thyroid evaluation than many traditional programs, including commonly overlooked markers.

Why am I gaining weight during menopause?
Many women notice weight gain during menopause due to several interconnected factors:
Hormonal shifts: Lower estrogen promotes fat accumulation, especially around the belly
Slower metabolism: Reduced muscle mass and energy expenditure make it harder to maintain weight
Lifestyle impacts: Poor sleep, stress, and sedentary habits all contribute to weight gain
Effective strategies include strength training to preserve muscle mass, balanced nutrition, stress management, and evaluating your hormone levels with a specialist.
Why is it harder to lose belly fat during perimenopause?
During perimenopause, stubborn belly fat becomes a common frustration. Key contributors include:
Estrogen decline: Promotes abdominal fat accumulation as the body shifts fat storage patterns
Metabolism and muscle loss: Makes calorie burning less efficient over time
Stress and cortisol: Increased stress hormones directly lead to fat storage around the midsection
Targeted strategies include strength training, a balanced nutrient-dense diet, stress reduction techniques, and evaluation of hormone and cortisol levels with a specialist.
How do hormones affect weight gain during menopause?
Hormonal changes during menopause — including lower estrogen and progesterone — make weight management more challenging in several ways:
Hormone imbalance: Low estrogen and progesterone affect metabolism and fat storage patterns
Muscle loss: Reduced muscle mass lowers your resting calorie burn
Lifestyle factors: Stress, poor sleep, and dietary changes all compound hormonal effects
Solutions include regular exercise (especially strength training), nutrient-dense foods, stress management, and working with a provider to optimize your hormone levels.
Why can't I lose weight during perimenopause?
Many women struggle with weight loss during perimenopause because of a combination of hormonal and lifestyle factors:
Hormonal changes: Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone affect metabolism and fat distribution
Muscle loss and aging: Reduced muscle lowers your daily calorie burn
Sleep and stress: Poor sleep and high cortisol make weight loss significantly harder
Effective strategies include strength training, balanced nutrition, sleep optimization, and a comprehensive hormone evaluation to address the root cause.
