January 15 Navigating Hormonal Changes & Health Part II
Show Notes:
In this episode of 'Own Your Pleasure', Whitni Miller and her guest, Dr. Michelle Gordon, discuss the complexities of hormonal changes in women, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Gordon emphasizes the importance of understanding how weight impacts hormonal health and the misconceptions surrounding weight loss. The discussion also covers sexual health, the role of various hormones, and the significance of finding a supportive healthcare provider who listens to women's concerns.
Dr. Michelle Gordon is Board Certified in Obesity Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, and General Surgery and is a Telehealth Innovator. After building and running a multi-million dollar surgical practice, she shifted her focus from surgery to weight management, hormone health, and longevity through high-impact telehealth for lesbian midlife women. She brings advanced, personalized care straight to you —without gatekeeping, delay, or the one-size-fits-all approach of traditional systems. Her background in surgery gives her a sharp clinical lens in obesity and lifestyle medicine. She’s seen how strategic, non-surgical interventions can reverse complex metabolic disease. Her experience drives the results she delivers today, through evidence-based care that respects your time, autonomy, and goals.
She uses telehealth to deliver high-quality, personalized care. This isn't a quick prescription model. She takes the time to understand each patient’s goals, history, and challenges to create treatment plans that are safe, effective, and built for long-term success. Her mission is simple. She gives you clear, evidence-based guidance and real support throughout your health journey. You deserve more than a rushed visit or generic advice. She takes the time to understand what’s actually going on so you can make lasting, meaningful changes together. You are never just a number. She works closely with you so you feel seen, heard, and respected from start to finish. With a foundation in clinical experience and systems thinking, she focuses on what works. She uses tools that make personalized medicine more accessible without compromising quality. This isn’t about hype or trends. It’s about real care, delivered with intention, one patient at a time.
