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.

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.

The Pause: How Not To Regain Your Weight: Part Two

WEIGHT OPTIMIZATION COURSE Setting Your Weight: Part Two Understanding Your "Bottom Weight Room"Managing weight during menopause can be challenging due to hormonal changes, reduced metabolism, and other factors. This HOPE Course delves deeper into specific strategies for maintaining a healthy weight during this transitional phase. What is the "Bottom Weight Room"? The "Bottom Weight Room" is your ideal weight maintenance range, tailored to your health, happiness, and overall well-being. It ensures you stay within a manageable and healthy weight zone for life. First, we know that we have reached our bottom weight by doing at least two of the Stall Buster Menus, and our weight has remained the same. Second, we know we have reached our bottom weight if our weight is within the normal range for our height. For women, this is usually at the bottom of the normal range of BMI; for men, it is at the top. Once these two criteria have been met, then it is time to give you a Bottom Weight Room. Consider Personal Preference and Feedback: Your Bottom Weight should align with your Happy Weight (weight that makes you feel good about yourself), Ideal Weight (within the Normal BMI), or Healthy Weight (with optimal health markers like A1c and LDL levels). Adjust if necessary. For example, reassess your range if you dislike your appearance or receive constructive feedback suggesting health concerns. For example, when I reached my Bottom Weight, I disliked my appearance. My friends didn't like the way I looked either. I don't let my friends' thoughts sabotage my goals, but it was interesting that once I gained some weight, they explained to me that they thought I had some chronic disease when I was at my bottom weight. By the way, if someone tells you you are too skinny, this is usually a saboteur. For some reason, there is a built-in mechanism in people to sabotage others' success. They may be correct in some cases, but I have found that they are usually valid when it comes to your weight only if you fall into the underweight BMI category. Establishing Your "Room":Once you have determined your Bottom Weight, for example, 145 pounds, set a narrow range around that weight (e.g., 145–147 pounds). This "room" becomes your maintenance goal. "Your goal is to remain in your Bottom Weight Room for the rest of your life." The room may become lower as our weight decreases as we age, primarily due to muscle atrophy, which we will do our best to avoid. Stay in Your Room:There are several tools we use to maintain our Bottom Weight. Regular Monitoring:
Addressing Weight Changes:Short-Term Adjustments:
Long-Term Changes:
Expanding Your Menu Through Food Group Testing: The next course, Setting Your Weight Part 3, will discuss how we expand the Meso Menu from clean animal protein, healthy fats, and high-fiber vegetables to include the restricted food groups by testing one food group at a time using our Food Group Testing Protocol.

How to Join:If you text "I am interested" to 209-345-9799, I will enroll you in the free week of coaching and send you the first course, which we can discuss in your initial consultation. Final Thoughts:Weight optimization is a lifelong journey, but you can achieve and maintain your ideal weight with the right tools and support. Remember to consult with a licensed healthcare professional before starting any program, especially if you have underlying medical conditions.

We have found that doing together is one of the best ways to succeed. THIS WEEK'S US-IE It's been a week of colds in our home. All the women were affected, or should I say infected? I worked in bed so I could be near Vicky while she recuperated. As I was working and Vicky slept, our two-year-old daughter crawled into bed and fell asleep against her Nana. I had to take a picture of Heaven while I bathed in it. 🤧 Doc Mac ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ © 2024 | Doc Mac Coaching Disclaimer:The statements in this course have not been evaluated by the FDA and should not be considered medical advice.

Hi! I'm Doc Mac.

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. Every client I currently work with was referred to me. But for the first time since before the pandemic, I have a few empty spots—and I don’t intend to waste them. 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...
