The Simply Health Method
The Simply Health Method
The Simply Health Method is the natural weight-loss program at Simply Health Integrated Medical in St. Louis. It is structured in three phases — Evaluate the upstream causes of weight resistance, Optimize a personalized real-food plan, and Sustain results through coaching. No shakes, no crash diets, no permanent prescription dependence. It is the framework patients use here when they have already tried diet apps, programs, and quick fixes that did not produce lasting results.
What to expect

Why patients need a Method, not another diet
Most patients who arrive at Simply Health Integrated Medical have already tried diet apps, weight-loss programs, packaged-meal services, intermittent fasting, keto, low-carb, and sometimes prescription quick-fixes. The pattern is familiar: short-term results, eventual regain, and a sense that the next attempt will go the same way. The Simply Health Method is built specifically for that history. It assumes the patient knows how to eat less and move more — and works on what is actually preventing the result from sticking.
Phase 1 — Evaluate
Phase 1 looks upstream before writing a plan. Metabolic patterns, thyroid context, hormonal stage of life (perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone), insulin and inflammation markers, sleep quality, stress load, gut function, prior medications, and the schedule the patient actually lives with — all evaluated before recommending dietary specifics. Many patients discover during Phase 1 that the bigger lever is actually thyroid, hormones, or sleep — not 'more discipline.'
Phase 2 — Optimize
Phase 2 builds a real-food plan around the patient's specific Evaluate findings. The plan is personalized — not a generic protocol. It connects into BHRT, functional medicine, peptide therapy, or regenerative medicine when the broader picture supports it. The goal is a plan the patient can actually follow long-term — based on real food, the patient's actual schedule, and the metabolic context Phase 1 identified.
Phase 3 — Sustain
Phase 3 is where most diet programs fail. The plan that worked for three months does not automatically become the routine that works for three years. Sustain is the coaching cadence that translates plan into routine and keeps the pattern in place until weight management stops being a project. This is the phase that makes the difference between 'lost weight again' and 'kept it off.'
Where GLP-1 medications fit (and do not fit)
The Simply Health Method does not depend on GLP-1 medication. The Method works the same way whether or not a patient uses GLP-1 — and this matters more now that compounded GLP-1 telehealth scripts are being phased out under FDA enforcement. For patients coming off compounded GLP-1, the Method provides the structure to maintain results without permanent dependence on a medication that may not be reliably available. For patients who use brand-name medical tools when truly appropriate, those tools fit within the Method rather than replacing it.
How The Simply Health Method connects to BHRT, thyroid, and functional medicine
Weight resistance is rarely just about food. Hormones, thyroid, sleep, gut function, and metabolic context all affect what works. The Simply Health Method is integrated with the clinic's BHRT, thyroid, peptide therapy, and functional medicine work because those are often the upstream levers the weight problem actually depends on. The integrated model is the point — not a side benefit.
Request a Simply Health Method consultation
If you are tired of restarting, ready to evaluate what has actually been preventing results, and want a structured plan with coaching — take the weight-resistance quiz or request a consultation. The next step is Phase 1: an honest evaluation of what is upstream of the weight you want to lose.
Frequently asked
Common questions
▸What is The Simply Health Method?
The Simply Health Method is the natural weight-loss program at Simply Health Integrated Medical in St. Louis. It is structured in three phases — Evaluate the upstream causes of weight resistance, Optimize a personalized real-food plan, and Sustain results through coaching. No shakes, no crash diets, no prescription dependence.
▸Where is The Simply Health Method offered?
Simply Health Integrated Medical at 12977 N Forty Dr, Suite 105, St. Louis, MO 63141. By appointment 24/7. Call (636) 590-4686.
▸How long does The Simply Health Method take?
The full Method runs across several months — Phase 1 Evaluate (initial workup), Phase 2 Optimize (typically 12 weeks of plan development and refinement), and Phase 3 Sustain (ongoing coaching). The exact timeline depends on what Phase 1 reveals and the patient's specific goals.
▸Does The Simply Health Method include GLP-1 medication?
The Method is not dependent on GLP-1 medication. It can incorporate brand-name medical tools when truly appropriate, but the structure is the same whether or not a patient uses injections — particularly important as compounded GLP-1 telehealth scripts are being phased out by the FDA.
▸How is The Simply Health Method different from a typical weight-loss program?
Most programs are either pure diet (shakes, packaged meals) or pure prescription (GLP-1 injections via telehealth). The Simply Health Method is medical evaluation plus coaching — real food, hormone and metabolic evaluation, and a Sustain phase that keeps results intact long-term. The integration with BHRT, thyroid, and functional medicine is the differentiator.
▸What does Phase 1 — Evaluate — include?
Phase 1 looks at metabolic patterns, thyroid context, hormonal stage of life, insulin and inflammation markers, sleep, stress, gut function, prior medications, and your actual schedule. The point is to look upstream before writing a plan rather than chasing symptoms.
▸Can I do The Simply Health Method if I am in perimenopause or menopause?
Yes — perimenopause and menopause are common contexts for The Method because hormone shifts often drive the weight resistance. Phase 1 evaluates the hormone picture, and BHRT may run alongside the Method when both are clinically appropriate.
▸Is The Simply Health Method covered by insurance?
The Method is typically not insurance-billed as a bundled program. Individual labs and certain prescriptions may have coverage. Cost is reviewed during the evaluation so you understand the full picture before committing.
