Hey Friend
I’m Dr. Patel – a board-certified internal medicine physician dedicated to making a difference in my patients’ lives.
As a physician, I’m passionate about helping my patients live their healthiest, happiest lives. But my own struggles with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have given me a unique perspective on the challenges of managing chronic health conditions. PCOS has affected many aspects of my life.
lifestyle
Like many women with PCOS, I’ve struggled with weight gain and difficulty losing weight. It’s frustrating and discouraging, especially when you’re doing everything “right” – eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep. But I’ve learned that weight management is about so much more than just diet and exercise. It’s a complex interplay of hormones, genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors.
medicine
What helped?
My own experiences with PCOS have led me to pursue a specialization in obesity medicine. I’m passionate about helping people who, like me, struggle with their weight despite their best efforts. Obesity is a complex and multifaceted condition, and I believe personalized, compassionate care is key to helping patients achieve long-term success.
I’ve found success in the form of GLP-1 medications, like Wegovy and Ozempic, which I prescribe to my patients as an obesity medicine specialist.
From personal experience, I can say that GLP-1 medications have been life-changing for me. Not only do they help regulate blood sugar levels, but they also help promote weight loss.
But GLP-1 medications are not a magic solution, and they should always be used with a healthy diet and regular exercise. As a physician, I work closely with my patients to create personalized treatment plans that consider their medical needs and lifestyle factors.
mission
While PCOS has certainly presented challenges in my life, it’s also given me a deeper understanding of the complexities of weight management and a greater empathy for my patients. I’m grateful for the opportunity to use my experiences to help others on their own health journeys.
Now my mission is to empower others to take control of their health and well-being, despite the challenges posed by obesity. I strive to bridge the gap in education and support for patients struggling with this disease, and I am committed to providing compassionate care to each and every patient I serve.
If you’re feeling alone or overwhelmed in your struggle with obesity, I want you to know you’re not alone. I’m here for you every step of the way, cheering you on and providing the support you need to conquer this disease and live your best life.
