      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. Maybe even 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.

      The problem isn't your effort. It's that no one looked for the real obstacles. That's where we come in.

      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

      Weight loss After 40

      Why Traditional Weight Loss Programs Fail Women Over 40

      If you've ever felt like your body just stopped responding to the same strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s, you're not imagining it. The metabolic landscape changes dramatically after 40, and most weight loss programs completely ignore this reality.

      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.

      Key Insight: The effort you've been putting in isn't the problem. The problem is that nobody identified what was blocking your results. Once we find and address those barriers, the same dedication you've always had produces the results you deserve.

      What Makes Destiny Health Clinic Different

      We're not a diet program. We're not a wellness coach. We're a physician-led medical practice that treats weight loss as the complex medical issue it actually is—especially for women over 40.

      Comprehensive Testing

      We run the labs that other providers skip: insulin resistance markers, complete hormone panels, thyroid function, vitamin D, cortisol patterns, and metabolic markers.

      Medical Diagnosis

      We don't guess. We diagnose what's blocking you, explain it clearly, and build a treatment plan based on your actual physiology.

      Physician Oversight

      Dr. Farhangfar personally reviews your progress, adjusts your plan based on results, and provides ongoing medical guidance throughout your journey.

      Personalized Strategy

      Your plan is built for YOUR body—not a generic template. We adjust based on how you respond, not how someone else did.

      What You Can Expect

      • Initial consultation to review your history and goals
      • Comprehensive lab work to identify metabolic barriers
      • Personalized nutrition plan based on your metabolism
      • Movement recommendations appropriate for your fitness level
      • Sleep and stress management strategies
      • Medication when medically appropriate and safe
      • Regular follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust
      • Direct access to your physician throughout

      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.

      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.

      Your Body Changed the Rules. Let's Learn the New Ones Together.

      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.
