Dr. Heather Awad helps women craving to lose the menopause weight

On the Edge with April Mahoney

Youtube Version https://youtu.be/ut5X-x3aRzg Hello! I’m Heather Awad, MD. I’m a family doctor who coaches professional women to lose weight for the last time. Over the years, I noticed my weight creeping up with each baby we added to our family. In my 40s, the number on scale just continued to climb. So I ate less and exercised more, which made me hungry and miserable, and I didn’t lose weight. I then moved to yo-yo dieting, and I think we all know how well that works. Any of this sound familiar? I’m a Midwesterner, but I have also lived on both coasts. I was born in Michigan, went to medical school at the University of Minnesota, and did my Family Medicine residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, St. Margaret’s Hospital. My 2021 weight loss journey was my last. I have zero fear about regaining the weight. You know what the most common thing professional women say at the end of my program? “I’m so relieved.” You can embark on your last weight loss journey too.
