Medical Weight Loss & Hormone Replacement Therapy

Sustainable health changes require more than willpower. They require education, clinical insight, and individualized planning.

At Tailored to You, we approach medical weight loss and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as part of a comprehensive strategy, not quick fixes. These services are led by experienced medical professionals who prioritize safety, education, and long-term results.

Medical Weight Loss at Tailored to You

Medical weight loss is not a crash diet or a temporary reset. It is a clinically guided approach that evaluates underlying contributors to weight retention and metabolic resistance.

Our program is led by Darcie, who heads medical weight loss at Tailored to You. Her approach focuses on:

• Individualized metabolic assessment

• Medical history review

• Sustainable nutrition and lifestyle strategies

• Prescription management when appropriate

• Ongoing monitoring and accountability

Weight loss is not one-size-fits-all. Hormones, stress, sleep, inflammation, muscle mass, and insulin response all play roles in how the body stores or releases weight.

Darcie works with patients to identify healthy outlets and realistic goals — building a plan that supports long-term change rather than short-term restriction.

Hormone Replacement Therapy with Lacey Bonte, DNP

Hormonal shifts can significantly impact energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, muscle retention, and body composition. For many men and women, especially during perimenopause, menopause, or andropause, hormone imbalance can make weight management and overall wellness more challenging.

We are proud to partner with Lacey Bonte, DNP, of Vitality by Lacey, who leads hormone replacement therapy services.

Lacey is a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and board-certified Nurse Practitioner with advanced education in hormone optimization and functional medicine approaches. Her care model includes:

• Comprehensive hormone evaluations

• Individualized treatment planning

• Bioidentical hormone therapy when appropriate

• Ongoing monitoring and dose adjustments

• Whole-body wellness strategy

Hormone replacement therapy is not about chasing symptoms. It is about restoring balance in a safe, medically supervised way.

A Clinical Note on Peptides and Trending Treatments

Peptides have become one of the most talked-about trends in wellness and metabolic optimization.

While certain peptides may have clinical applications when prescribed appropriately, they are biologically active compounds that influence hormone signaling and cellular communication. Improper sourcing, incorrect dosing, lack of lab monitoring, and self-administration without medical supervision can carry risks.

Not every trending treatment is the right first step.

Lacey and Darcie are always open to patient questions regarding peptides and emerging therapies. However, they do not assume advanced interventions are appropriate if foundational health areas have not been addressed.

Before considering therapies such as peptides, we prioritize:

• Nutrition and lifestyle foundations

• Hormone balance evaluation

• Comprehensive lab testing

• Metabolic assessment

• Inflammation markers

• Thyroid function analysis

We offer customized lab panels to better understand your unique physiology, including hormone levels, metabolic markers, thyroid health, nutrient status, and inflammatory indicators.

Understanding your baseline allows for informed, strategic decisions rather than reactive treatment choices.

Health optimization should be structured and medically guided — not trend-driven.

Why Combine Medical Weight Loss & Hormone Optimization?

Hormones influence metabolism.
Metabolism influences body composition.
Body composition influences long-term health risk.

When appropriate, combining medically supervised weight management with hormone optimization can:

• Improve metabolic efficiency

• Support lean muscle retention

• Stabilize energy levels

• Assist with appetite regulation

• Enhance overall vitality

The key is individualized care.
