All About Losing Weight — and Keeping It Off
A Proactive Approach to Lifelong Wellness
At All About You Hormones and Wellness, we do more than help you lose weight—we help you understand how your body works, so you can keep it off for good. Our functional medicine approach is different from standard, reactive care. We don’t just hand you a prescription and send you on your way. We partner with you to uncover the root causes of your weight gain, reduce unnecessary medications, and build a plan that fits your unique biology and lifestyle.
We’ve proudly been voted Idaho’s Best Weight Loss Clinic in Central Idaho two years in a row, a reflection of both the satisfaction of our patients and the consistent, sustainable results they achieve.
Why Our Patients Succeed
Most weight loss programs fail because they focus on symptoms, not causes. Studies show that 80–95% of people who lose weight gain it back within 1–3 years. That’s because they were not taught how to maintain it—or worse, their programs relied solely on medication or unsustainable calorie restriction.
At All About You, we take a smarter, science-backed path. Our success rate? Over 80% of our patients reach their weight loss expectations.
Here’s why:
We Are Proactive, Not Reactive
Traditional medicine waits until there's a problem. Functional medicine addresses the root of the problem before it becomes a chronic problem. That’s what we do. We dive deep into your lab work, health history, symptoms, and lifestyle to uncover what’s really causing your weight gain—often insulin resistance, hormone imbalances, or metabolic dysfunction.
Personalized Weight Loss Plans
You are not one-size-fits-all—and your plan shouldn’t be either. Your first appointment with us is a comprehensive 60-minute consultation, where we educate you on how weight loss works, what triggers weight gain, and how to maintain your results for life.
Prescription Medications with Purpose
We offer cutting-edge prescription treatments—including GLP-1 medications and other —but we don’t rely on medication alone. GLP-1s can be powerful tools when used correctly, but increasing your dosage week after week without addressing lifestyle will eventually backfire. We help you avoid the trap of forced calorie restriction and nausea-based weight loss. Instead, we help you lower cravings naturally and teach you to eat intentionally, not emotionally.
Food Is Fuel: How We Change Your Perspective
Weight loss doesn’t have to mean deprivation. When you learn how your body responds to food, and you’re no longer battling cravings, everything changes. We help you shift your relationship with food—from frustration to fuel.
Unfortunately, there’s a lot of misleading information out there. Many people think they’re eating “healthy” but still can’t lose weight. That’s because most diets ignore what truly causes weight gain: insulin resistance and metabolic imbalance. We explain how to break that cycle—and support you with the education, tools, and encouragement you need to succeed.
As we like to say:
“Give someone a fish, and you feed them for a day. Teach them to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime.”
We teach you to fish.
Who We Are For

- Learn how your body works
- Lose weight with guidance and education

How do prescription weight loss medications work?
GLP-1, or Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, is a hormone produced in the gut that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. Peptides help control blood sugar by enhancing the secretion of insulin (which lowers blood sugar) and inhibiting the release of glucagon (which raises blood sugar). GLP-1 also slows down the emptying of the stomach, which helps increase feelings of fullness and reduces appetite. We assist the body’s natural ability to keep blood sugar levels stable.
In peptide weight loss prescription medications like Semaglutide, and other peptide weight loss drugs, GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic the effects of natural GLP-1. By activating these receptors, these medications help reduce hunger, leading to lower calorie intake and, consequently, weight loss. Additionally, they help regulate blood sugar levels, making them particularly beneficial for people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. The result is not only significant weight loss but also improved metabolic health. Peptide weight loss medications mimic the body’s natural regulatory process to achieve healthy weight stability.
The easiest way to explain how these new prescription weight-loss medications work: reduce the food noise in your head, eliminate cravings for sugary, salty, crunchy foods and you will be able to lose weight and keep it off. We also help you understand how to keep and maintain your body’s lean muscle mass so that you feel strong, and healthy and not just skinny! The goal is a healthy weight and optimum health.
There are many brand names, several active ingredients in compounded medications – but they all work very similarly in the body. We will guide you to the best prescription weight loss medications to help you lose weight and maintain your weight loss.
Why are stable blood sugar levels a big deal for weight loss?
Stable blood sugar levels help prevent cravings because they maintain a steady supply of energy to your body and brain, which reduces the signals that trigger hunger and the desire for quick energy sources, like sugary or high-carbohydrate foods.
When blood sugar levels drop too low, the body sends signals to the brain that it needs more energy, often leading to cravings for foods that can quickly raise blood sugar, such as sweets or snacks high in refined carbohydrates. Conversely, when blood sugar spikes and then drops rapidly, it can create a cycle of cravings as the body tries to stabilize its energy levels.
By keeping blood sugar levels stable, you avoid these sharp rises and falls, reducing the likelihood of experiencing intense cravings. This stability helps control appetite, making it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan and avoid overeating, which is particularly important for weight management.
Do hormones play a part in weight loss and weight gain?
Yes, hormones play a significant role in weight gain and overall body weight regulation. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many of the body’s processes, including metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. When these hormones become imbalanced, they can contribute to weight gain. Some key hormones that influence weight include:
Thyroid Hormones: The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism. If the thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism), it can slow down metabolism, leading to weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
Sex Hormones (Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone): Changes in sex hormones can also affect weight. For example, declining estrogen levels during menopause can lead to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen. In men, low testosterone levels can reduce muscle mass and slow metabolism, contributing to weight gain.
Insulin: This hormone helps regulate blood sugar levels by allowing cells to absorb glucose for energy. However, consistently high insulin levels, often due to a diet high in refined carbohydrates and sugars, can lead to insulin resistance. This condition makes it harder for the body to use glucose effectively, leading to increased fat storage and weight gain.
Cortisol: Known as the stress hormone, cortisol is released in response to stress. Chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels can increase appetite and cravings for high-calorie, comfort foods. Cortisol also promotes fat storage, particularly around the abdomen.
Leptin: Produced by fat cells, leptin helps regulate appetite by signaling to the brain that the body has enough energy stored in fat. However, in cases of leptin resistance, the brain doesn’t receive the signal, leading to increased hunger and overeating, which contributes to weight gain.
Ghrelin: Often called the "hunger hormone," ghrelin stimulates appetite and promotes fat storage. High levels of ghrelin can make you feel hungrier and lead to overeating.
Hormonal imbalances can make it difficult to lose weight and easier to gain weight, even with diet and exercise. That's why addressing hormone levels is often a crucial part of weight management programs, particularly for those struggling with unexplained weight gain.
