MIDI IS CHANGING WOMEN'S LIVES
“Midi gave me the right advice and weight loss medications—I’ve lost 25 pounds!”
“The Midi team was genuinely interested in my entire history, my progress, and my outcomes. I’m finally on the right track. Thank you, thank you!!”
“I came to Midi because I experienced unexplained weight gain. Running marathons, eating keto—none of it was working. I went to multiple providers and couldn’t get answers, but my Midi clinician was able to identify a hormone imbalance. She put me on a regimen of holistic care and now I’m 10 pounds lighter, I’m running, I have energy again.”
“Midlife for me meant weight up, energy down, and foggy brain due to less sleep. Midi helped me take a closer look at my health and re-balance my hormones, giving me just the support I needed. I am back to my ‘regular’ clothes with more energy and a sharper wit!”

Frequently asked questions
Why does maintaining a healthy weight matter in midlife?
Carrying significant extra weight can contribute to your risk of cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, type-2 diabetes, and high cholesterol. Midlife is when most of these problems arise in women, but it’s also a great time to take steps to stay healthy now and into the future. Weight management can be one of those important steps.
What are the most effective lifestyle changes I can make to maintain a healthy weight?
Fortunately, there’s a lot you can do to combat midlife weight gain. Your options fall into three categories:
- Get quality sleep. Why does this matter? Consistently poor sleep leaves you exhausted, which makes it harder to be physically active. Inadequate rest may also disrupt normal levels of appetite hormones that regulate hunger and satisfaction, and drive cravings for foods high in fat and carbs.
- Move your body, every day. Not only does exercise help counter weight gain and fat accumulation, it can also improve sleep, mood, and blood sugar metabolism. Strength training is particularly important for building lean muscle mass.
- Eat nourishing foods. Eating is individual, but almost everyone can benefit from a diet rich in minimally processed plant foods, getting plenty of fiber and protein, and choosing complex carbohydrates over simple carbs. Timed eating (aka intermittent fasting) may help women at midlife as well.
What do weight loss medications do?
Weight medications may be used to suppress appetite, control cravings, and/or stabilize blood sugar levels.
Who should take weight loss medications?
A new class of prescription weight-loss medications called GLP-1 receptors have been shown to help people lose a significant percentage of body weight when paired with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Examples of GLP-1 receptors that are FDA-approved for weight loss include Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide). Other medications, such as Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide), are approved for diabetes but used off-label to help patients lose weight.
However, these drugs aren’t for everyone. They’re typically appropriate for people with obesity (a BMI greater than 30) as well as those with a BMI greater than 27 and one or more weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. And it’s also important to consider potential downsides, such as cost and side effects (like nausea, bloating, and indigestion).
Are there any risks associated with weight loss medications?
All medications carry risks, and these are no exception. If you are a candidate for any weight loss medication, a Midi weight specialist will review all the benefits, potential risks , and possible side effects, so you have all the facts you need to decide on a Care Plan.
Will my insurance cover weight loss medication?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan and if you medically qualify for a specific medication. Midi partners with you and your pharmacy to get your medications covered whenever possible.
