Why Do They call it "Middle" Age? 
Midlife Weight Gain Explained

by Gretchen Frey, MD
In over 30 years of practice, I think the number one complaint I have heard from female patients over 40 is gradual weight gain. This most often happens around the perimenopause (roughly age 45-55), and it is nearly universal. No matter how active, fit, or historically thin a woman may have been (and many of us have not been especially active or thin), somewhere in this window the weight will begin to increase, and it all seems to gather at the waist rather than on the hips as we’re used to seeing. I decided when this happened to me that it must be the true meaning of “middle” age!

Member Satisfaction Survey

Every year, we collect data to be sure that we are meeting the needs of our patients and members
Please help us do that by filling out this survey


DOPC Giving Tree & Scholarship Memberships
The Giving Tree has been in action at DOPC since December 2018 thanks to a generous pair of members that set the idea in motion. If you are in a position to help others financially, we ask that you consider making a one-time or on-going donation to our DOPC Giving Tree or gift a membership to a friend or family member.
