Memorial Wellness Center and Lake Shore OB/GYN of Decatur will co-host “Beyond the Scale: Hormones, Health and Women’s Wellness” from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 29.
The free event, which will be held at Decatur Indoor Sports Center at 1295 W. Wood St., will feature Nicole Florence, MD, medical director of the Memorial Wellness Center, and OB/GYN Nada Lygrisse, DO.
“Women’s hormones play a significant role in weight management,” Dr. Lygrisse said. “It’s helpful to understand how GLP-1 medications work and how our hormones affect our weight if you’re considering treatment.”
Dr. Florence said the event will answer questions many women may have about the new GLP-1 medications. “There are many factors that influence our weight, and medication alone isn’t always the answer,” she said. “A team approach can help address all those factors and increase the likelihood that women are able to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle in the long term.”
