No Stigma. No Judgement. Just Treatment.
Patient Experiences
My only regret is that I should have done this sooner. I didn’t realize how much of my life I wasn’t doing because of my obesity. The back pain is gone, the sore muscles and joints are gone. It’s been an absolute life changing experience. I’ve lost 138 pounds since I started with Ben and Lily. They truly changed my life.
I begged for help for five years and felt so defeated. When I met Ben, the first thing he said was, “It’s not your fault. It’s chronic.” He listened. He cared. Finally, someone understood. Since starting in May 2024, I’ve lost close to 80 pounds. I am no longer pre-diabetic. My blood pressure is better. I sleep better. I can keep up with my four grandchildren. I feel better than I have in a long time.
The first body scan was hard. I weighed 254 pounds. Ben and Lily did not make me feel bad about my weight. I felt comfortable and all my questions were answered. I have lost 69 pounds and don’t feel like I am depriving myself. My blood pressure medication was cut in half and then stopped. The body scans and regular appointments make me feel safe and supported.
Best decision I made was making an appointment with Ben at Lifespan. One year later I am down 75 pounds. I have more energy than I’ve had since my 20s. I’m off two blood pressure medications and my cholesterol levels are almost normal. No regrets here.

Medically Supported Weight Management
Focused on Sustainable Results
A provider-led weight management program designed to support long-term success. Care includes prescription medications, nutrition guidance, activity recommendations, and behavioral strategies, all tailored to your individual needs.
Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on progress and response, with regular follow-ups and body composition scans to guide care.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
New in 2026
Hormone replacement therapy designed for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Symptoms during this transition can vary widely and may impact sleep, mood, energy, and overall quality of life.
Care is guided by lab testing, regular follow-ups, and individualized medication adjustments to ensure treatment remains aligned with your needs and goals.
What to Expect
Beginning care can feel overwhelming. Below is an overview of what the process looks like, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Care begins with a comprehensive consultation focused on understanding your health history, goals, and challenges. From there, we develop a personalized treatment plan that includes medication, nutrition guidance, physical activity recommendations, and behavior modification strategies.
You will be seen regularly for follow-up visits and body composition monitoring so progress can be tracked objectively. Treatment plans are adjusted as needed based on results and how you are feeling.
Our focus is steady, sustainable progress supported by medical oversight and consistent follow-up. Appointments are available both in person and virtually for flexibility and convenience.
Hormone replacement therapy begins with an in-depth consultation and lab testing to assess hormone levels and review symptoms. During the initial phase, patients are seen every other week for the first two months.
Hormone levels are reassessed as needed, and medications are adjusted based on lab results, symptoms, and individual response. Treatment may include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone when clinically appropriate.
Patients have access to ongoing communication through our patient portal, allowing questions and adjustments between visits when necessary.
Both weight management and hormone therapy require ongoing evaluation. Care does not stop after the initial plan is created.
We prioritize regular follow-up, clinical monitoring, and thoughtful adjustments to ensure treatment remains aligned with your goals and changing needs. Our approach is built on consistency and long-term support rather than short-term intervention.
Your first visit is focused on listening. We review your medical history, current symptoms, previous treatment attempts, and long-term goals.
This appointment allows us to determine whether our services are the right fit and to outline the next steps clearly so you know exactly what to expect moving forward.
