Hi! I'm Doc Mac.

I have practiced hormone and weight optimization for over forty-five years. I retired 10 years ago; at least, that is what I thought. When I retired, my wife and I owned and operated several medical clinics specializing in hormone and weight optimization. We discovered that as a woman enters menopause, her hormones become disrupted, causing many women to gain weight rapidly, and no matter what they do, not be able to lose it. If that has happened to you, text me at 209-345-9799. I have found that those who text me are serious about creating the body they desire. Once I receive your text, I will find a convenient time for you to speak with me. During our conversation, I will customize a gourmet weight loss menu for you, and tweak it until it works. Our menus have no caloric restrictions or frequency of meals. There is no charge! 👍 Doc

Good morning, I’m going to keep this short. I rarely have openings in my weight optimization program. I usually work by referral only, and people aren’t thrilled when I tell them there’s a waitlist.

So I’m offering a small number of women the chance to try my program risk-free. No pressure. No commitment. Just a real conversation...

LOSE THE BLOAT By Doing This “So, Doc, I feel bloated all the time. Why? And how can I get rid of it? Bottom out insulin! BLOAT Remember Alice and her kitchen island filled with grains. Every time Alice ate off her island, the carbohydrates in those grains rapidly elevated her blood sugar. In fact, many refined grains raise blood sugar even faster than table sugar. High blood sugar is toxic, so the body goes into panic mode and signals the pancreatic cells to release insulin. Insulin, like a...
