Weight Loss After 40 Isn't a Willpower Problem. It's a Medical One. We Solve It.

Destiny Health Clinic is a physician-led weight loss practice for women over 40. We find what's actually blocking your metabolism—hormones, insulin resistance, thyroid, sleep—and build a plan that works for the body you have today.

Why Traditional Weight Loss Programs Fail Women Over 40

The Problem with Generic Programs

Most commercial weight loss programs are built on a simple premise: eat less, move more, and you'll lose weight. This worked when you were younger because your hormones, muscle mass, and metabolic rate were optimized for fat loss.

But after 40, that equation changes. Your body produces less estrogen and progesterone, which affects where fat is stored. Your thyroid may slow down, even if tests show "normal" ranges. Insulin resistance can develop silently, making every carbohydrate feel like a trigger for weight gain.

What Actually Works

Effective weight loss after 40 requires a medical approach that identifies and addresses the specific barriers your body is facing. This means comprehensive lab testing, hormone evaluation, metabolic assessment, and a personalized strategy based on your unique physiology.

When we remove the hidden obstacles—whether it's insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, cortisol imbalance, or nutritional deficiencies—your body can finally respond to your efforts. The discipline you've had all along now has a clear path forward.

Sound familiar?

You've been eating right, exercising, and doing "everything you're supposed to do"—but the scale won't budge. Or worse, it keeps creeping up.
You've tried calorie counting. Keto. Intermittent fasting. You might even consider enrolling in an expensive online program. And you're starting to wonder if something is seriously wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you. Something changed in your body—and nobody told you about it.

Your metabolism slowed down

After 40, you lose muscle mass every decade—and muscle is the engine that burns calories at rest. Less muscle means slower metabolism, even if you eat less than before.

Your hormones changed the rules

Estrogen, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid shifts alter where your body stores fat, how it processes food, and why cravings hit harder than ever before.

Hidden barriers are blocking you

Insulin resistance, sleep apnea, vitamin D deficiency, and chronic stress—these are medical problems that no diet app will ever diagnose or fix.

We Find What Other Programs Miss

Most weight loss programs treat symptoms. We diagnose causes.

Before we recommend a single change to your diet or exercise, we look at what's actually happening inside your body—because until those barriers are identified and addressed, no amount of effort will produce lasting results.

Our comprehensive approach evaluates the full spectrum of metabolic and hormonal factors that influence weight after 40. We run the tests other providers skip and interpret results in the context of your unique physiology, not just lab "normal ranges."

When you remove what's blocking you, your effort finally has somewhere to go.

Insulin resistance: Often hidden behind "normal" glucose levels

Hormonal imbalances: Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone shifts

Thyroid dysfunction: Even when labs appear "in range."

Vitamin D and nutrient deficiencies: Impacting metabolic function

Sleep apnea and disruption: Preventing recovery and fat loss

Cortisol dysregulation: From chronic stress patterns

I needed to have surgery on my colon, but the doctor didn't want to till I lost some of my weight, to lower my risk and complications. I had been eating right and going to the gym.

Who This Is For

Our practice is specifically designed for women over 40 who have been trying to lose weight without success and suspect there might be an underlying medical reason.

You're a good fit if you've been putting in consistent effort, following advice, and still not seeing results. If you're willing to invest in a medical approach, commit to the process, and work with a physician who will dig deeper than surface-level solutions, we can help.

This isn't for people looking for a quick fix or magic pill. It's for women ready to understand what's really happening in their bodies and address it properly.

How we are different

We run the labs that other providers skip: insulin resistance markers, complete hormone panels, thyroid function, vitamin D, cortisol patterns, and metabolic markers.
We don't guess. We diagnose what's blocking you, explain it clearly, and build a treatment plan based on your actual physiology.
Dr. Farhangfar personally reviews your progress, adjusts your plan based on results, and provides ongoing medical guidance throughout your journey.
Your plan is built for YOUR body—not a generic template. We adjust based on how you respond, not how someone else did.

Your Body Changed the Rules. Discover the New Rules.

Every month you spend guessing is a month your hormones, metabolism, and muscle mass continue to shift—making the problem harder to solve later. The physiological changes that make weight loss difficult after 40 don't pause while you figure out what's wrong.

You don't need more willpower. You don't need another generic plan from the internet or a commercial program that ignores your age, your hormones, and your unique metabolic situation.

You need a physician who will review your labs, understand your body, and build a strategy that actually aligns with your physiology.

That conversation starts with a free consultation. No pressure. No sales pitch. No judgment. We encourage an open dialogue about your past experiences, potential obstacles, and the suitability of our medical approach.

Most patients tell us they wish they'd made this call months or even years earlier. The relief of finally having someone take their concerns seriously and run the right tests is worth far more than continuing to struggle alone.

Frequently asked questions

We know you have questions. Here are the ones we hear most often from women considering our program.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

No referral is required. You can schedule your free consultation directly with us. However, if your insurance requires a referral for coverage, we'll provide guidance on obtaining one.

Is this covered by insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans for medical visits and lab work. Weight loss medications may have varying coverage depending on your specific plan. We'll verify your coverage and explain costs clearly before you commit.

Will I have to take medication?

Not necessarily. Medication is one tool we may recommend if it's medically appropriate and safe for your situation. Many patients achieve excellent results with nutrition, lifestyle changes, and the treatment of underlying metabolic issues, without medication.

Do you offer virtual visits?

Yes. We offer both in-person appointments at our Sacramento/Folsom location and virtual consultations for patients who prefer remote care or live outside our immediate area.

What if I've tried everything and nothing works?

That's exactly why we do comprehensive testing. When "everything" hasn't worked, it usually means there's an undiagnosed barrier that previous programs didn't identify. Our medical approach is designed specifically for situations like yours.
