Most sleep and weight problems don't need five specialists. They need one physician who understands how sleep, metabolism, and behavior interact — and has the time to actually look.
That's what SleepWeightMD is built around. An integrated approach that treats your biology as a system, not a checklist. Where lifestyle and behavioral tools are first-line interventions, not afterthoughts. Where we start with what you already know about yourself and build from there — rather than sending you back to square one with every new referral.
Perimenopause is often where this integration becomes most urgent. Sleep changes. Weight shifts. Mood follows. Standard care tends to address each of these separately, which means the woman sitting in the middle — experiencing all three at once — keeps falling through the gaps.
That's the gap SleepWeightMD is designed to fill.
The Physician Behind SleepWeightMD
I'm triple board-certified in sleep medicine, psychiatry, and obesity medicine. My clinical work is grounded in active research on sleep, behavior, and metabolic health — which means what I bring to your care reflects the current science, not yesterday's guidelines. I'm also the author of The Women at 3 AM, a book about reclaiming metabolic health in perimenopause — the clinical framework behind everything we do at SleepWeightMD.
I don't run a high-volume practice. I work with a small number of patients at a time, which means I actually know you — your history, your labs, your sleep data, your particular version of this. Every study I interpret, I interpret personally. Every protocol I write, I write for you specifically.
This is slow medicine. It's what care looks like when a physician has time to think.
One thing worth knowing: SleepWeightMD does not prescribe benzodiazepines or Z-drugs for sleep. Not because of blanket policy, but because the evidence doesn't support them for the kind of sleep problems perimenopausal women actually have — and because dependency is a real risk I'm not willing to create. We use CBT-I, metabolic optimization, and non-habit-forming medical strategies instead. They work better and they last.
If you've been told your labs are normal and you still feel terrible — I believe you. That's exactly where we start.
