Weight loss that works with your hormones.
If the weight won't budge no matter what you do, your hormones may be part of the reason. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide can be a powerful tool — but for women in perimenopause and menopause, they work best alongside hormone and metabolic care, not on their own. At Jett Wellness in Columbia, MD, Tammy Jett-Parmer, PA-C combines GLP-1 therapy, including low-dose "microdosing," with a full look at your hormones, thyroid, and metabolism.
This may be a fit if:
Diet and exercise stopped working like they used to
Weight gain came on with perimenopause or menopause
You carry more weight around the middle
You're tired of one-size-fits-all programs
You want medical support, not a shot in the mail
You suspect hormones or thyroid are involved
Most GLP-1 services just mail you a prescription. Tammy does it differently. Because weight changes in midlife are often tangled up with shifting hormones, thyroid function, and metabolism, she evaluates the whole picture first — then uses GLP-1 as one part of a plan, with dosing tailored to you and coaching to make the results stick.
The goal isn't just a smaller number on the scale. It's treating what's actually driving the weight so the change holds.
“I finally feel like someone sees the whole picture. Tammy listened in a way no provider ever has.”
Common questions
-
Tammy can prescribe GLP-1 weight-loss medications, including options for low-dose "microdosing," based on a full evaluation and lab work. Your plan is individualized rather than a standard protocol.
-
Microdosing uses smaller, carefully managed doses of a GLP-1 medication. For some women it's a gentler way to get benefits while managing side effects. Whether it's right for you is decided together, based on your goals and history.
-
Not necessarily — but because midlife weight is so often tied to hormones and thyroid, Tammy evaluates those as part of your care so the plan addresses the real drivers, not just appetite.
-
Yes. You must reside in Maryland to become a patient, whether you're seen in person, virtually, or by house call.
