Why subscribe?

I'm Michelle E. Gordon, DO, DABOM, DACLM, FACS, FACOS. Board-certified in obesity medicine, lifestyle medicine, and general surgery.

This Substack is where I publish clinical education for midlife women. Hormones. GLP-1 medications. Metabolic adaptation. Body composition. The physiology of perimenopause and menopause. The questions your physician didn’t have time to answer.

Every claim is evidence-based. Every clinical recommendation is fact-checked against peer-reviewed literature before publication.

What free subscribers get

Every article/video is delivered to your inbox. The most recent three weeks of posts are available to read in full.

What paid subscribers get

A weekly clinical in-depth article built around questions from the community. Evidence-based. Fact-checked. Direct. Plus references.

This is where I go deeper than the article. The mechanism. The data. What I do clinically and why.

Full access to the complete archive of every post, including older articles past the three-week window.

A live monthly Q&A usually on the second Thursday of the month at noon EST, but sometimes that will change depending on my schedule. I’ll always schedule the lives in advance so you can plan.

Thank you for supporting my work!
