If you’re midlife (ages 40-80) and you don’t feel like “you” anymore, you’re not alone. Weight creeping up. Energy down. Optimism fading. Motivation lacking. More couch time and less fun time. We hear this daily and then we do something about it!
Most people chalk it up to “getting old” or the busy schedules, but these symptoms are often signs of real, treatable medical changes that can be and SHOULD BE managed!
At the Center for Nutrition (CFN), we see this every day. Your metabolism, energy production, hormones, and nutrient status naturally shift with age, but they don’t have to derail your health. With the right medical evaluation and a personalized plan, you can regain energy, confidence, and control to begin the New Year.
And we offer the first step to get started completely free. Dr. Caleb Tague (my personally trained son and valued coworker!) and I are committed to providing real solutions for these common challenges. While many medical offices are offering little more than “you’re just getting old”, we are committed to addressing root causes that will alter your health trajectory!
Why Midlife Changes Feel So Different
If you’ve tried to “diet harder” or push through fatigue, here’s the truth:
What your body needs at 48 is not what it needed at 25.
Real medical factors are often at work, including:
- Slower metabolism (due to loss of mitochondria)
- Insulin resistance or prediabetes
- Losses of sex hormones or thyroid hormones (men and women)
- Nutrient deficiencies that prevent energy production
- Cholesterol and cardiovascular risk
- Muscle loss that affects strength and vitality
These are not problems you can fix with willpower alone.
They require medical care, not quick fixes, fad supplements, or simple prescriptions. And one key is to get started with real solutions sooner rather than later. The longer people delay, the longer and harder it is to restore optimum health.
The CFN Difference: Physician-Led, Personalized, Real Results
With over 35,000 patients served in Topeka and Kansas City, we take a medical, data-driven approach to helping you lose fat, gain muscle, restore hormones, and enhance energy.
Every one of our patients is offered:
- A full medical and body composition evaluation
- Lab testing that checks hormones, metabolism, cholesterol, vitamins, and more
- A personalized nutrition and supplement plan, designed around your needs
- Ongoing monitoring to protect muscle, enhance safety, and provide long-term results
- Direct access to board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners
This is not a one-size-fits-all program. Your plan changes as your needs change.
What You Get With a Medical Approach
A plan tailored to your metabolism
We track labs, body composition, appetite patterns, hormones, and nutrient levels to design a strategy based on your biology.
Safe, physician-supervised medication options
When medication is appropriate (especially for those who are significantly overweight), we guide through options and dosage, monitor side effects, and protect muscle mass and nutrient status.
Although we find GLP-1 medications useful, don’t believe that they are right for everyone, they are not. That’s why we offer many effective alternatives that are more affordable and readily available.
Natural hormone optimization for men and women
When hormones decline, everything changes. Mood, appetite, sleep, motivation, energy.
We can evaluate your levels and design a safe, natural plan to restore balance. We are managing hormone replacement plans for hundreds of patients at any one time, because it works!
Advanced cardiovascular and cholesterol care
With board-certified lipidologist Dr. Caleb Tague, M.D., we help patients reduce cardiovascular risk, clarify “borderline” results, and understand exactly what their numbers mean.
Nutrition and supplement plans based on real data
No guessing. No fads. Just science and what your labs say you need.
What Patients Tell Us They Gain
Most patients come to us wanting weight loss and leave with a whole-body transformation:
- More energy
- Clearer thinking
- Better sleep
- Fewer cravings
- Improved mood
- Renewed confidence
- Better lab results
- Reduced long-term health risks
When your metabolism works, you work better too.
