A 16-week, lab-guided program for women 40 and over

Doing everything right and still gaining weight? Your labs know why.

After 40 the usual advice stops working because the problem moved: thyroid, insulin, cortisol or gut. A standard physical does not check for it. Find your pattern in two minutes.

The four patterns, in your words

These are the exact things women tell us. Each one points at a different set of labs, and a different fix.

Thyroid

“I wake up exhausted, even after eight hours.” Cold, brain fog, hair thinning, weight creeping with no change in habits.

Blood sugar

“I do well for a while, then the cravings undo it.” Afternoon crash, carb cravings after 3 p.m., weight that settles around the middle, aka menopause belly.

Stress

“My body feels like it’s running in emergency mode.” Wired and tired, awake at 3am, puffy face and hands, nothing budges.

Gut

“I’m so bloated by evening my clothes fit differently.” Digestion that changes day to day, and a waistline that changes with it.

Skip the call. Get the full panel and an hour with Dr. Klimek.

Thyroid, insulin and blood sugar, cortisol, inflammation, iron, B12, vitamin D, metabolic and lipid panels and a blood count, drawn in Bellevue or at a lab near you. Then a full hour with Dr. Mary Klimek, in person or virtual, going through every marker and what to do about it. Yours to keep whether or not you continue.

See every marker and why it matters after 40
  • Thyroid: TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3. TSH alone misses most thyroid-driven weight gain.
  • Blood sugar and insulin: fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HbA1c. Insulin rises years before glucose does.
  • Cortisol: the stress pattern behind 3am waking, puffiness and weight that will not move.
  • Inflammation: hs-CRP. Low-grade inflammation blocks fat loss and drives the joint pain that arrives with the weight.
  • Iron and nutrients: ferritin, iron, B12, folate, vitamin D. Low ferritin and low vitamin D look exactly like a slow thyroid.
  • Metabolic, lipids, blood count: CMP, lipid panel, CBC. What is safe to change, and where a fatty liver shows up first.

Who reads your labs

Dr. Mary Klimek has spent her career on the question most women 40 and over get a shrug for: why the body stopped responding. She reads the full panel, explains it in plain English, and builds the plan from what it shows.

No medication is prescribed here. When a result belongs with a prescriber, you’ll hear that plainly and get a referral.

How the 16 weeks work

Labs first

The comprehensive panel, drawn in Bellevue or at a lab near you. Results in about a week.

A full hour with Dr. Klimek

Every marker explained in plain English, and what is driving the weight named.

Your protocol, then maintenance

Food and timing built on your results, supplements only where a lab calls for one, and 2 to 3 check-ins a week with a real person. A maintenance plan so week 17 does not undo week 16.

What it costs

Nobody is asked to decide on a 15-minute call. The first paid step is small, and it counts toward the rest.

Labs and a full hour with Dr. Klimek

The comprehensive panel, then an hour one on one going through what your results mean and what to do about them. Yours to keep whether or not you continue. What is in the panel

$1,200 to $2,895

The 8 to 16-week program

Built to what your labs show, so the length and the price depend on what you need. Shorter programs start at $1,200; the full 16 weeks is $2,895. Labs included either way. If you started with the $297 review, it comes off the price.

Payment plans and CareCredit are available. HSA and FSA funds can be used.

“This is the one that finally worked. I have tried and failed at everything, and I mean everything. Dr. Mary reviewed all my lab results and picked up on things that even my PCP did not notice. The support from Dr. Mary and Coach Cait is like having a best friend, a really smart best friend, at your side.”

Diane M., Google review, September 2024. Results vary.

Questions women ask first

Is it my hormones or just my age?

Usually it’s a specific, measurable thing, thyroid, insulin or cortisol, that changed with age. “Just your age” is what you hear when nobody ran the panel that would show it.

Do I have to buy a program to take the quiz?

No. The quiz is free and you’ll see your pattern right away. Most women take it, read the result, and decide later.

Will you tell me if a doctor needs to be involved?

Yes. Nothing is prescribed here. If a lab result needs a prescriber, you’ll hear it plainly and get a referral.

Do you see patients outside Bellevue?

Yes, virtual anywhere in Washington, with labs drawn near you. In-person visits are at the Bellevue office.
