Root-Cause Weight Management

Dr. Andersson looks at weight challenges through a personalized lens. Whether your struggles are tied to hormonal imbalances, inflammation, insulin resistance, gut dysbiosis, food sensitivities, or chronic stress, her goal is to identify and treat the underlying patterns that are impacting your metabolism and overall health.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing

To provide the most targeted and effective plan, Dr. Andersson begins with in-depth testing, which may include:

• Comprehensive metabolic panels to assess blood sugar regulation, thyroid function, liver health, and lipid markers

• Advanced hormone testing to evaluate cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and insulin

• GI and microbiome analysis to detect dysbiosis, leaky gut, or pathogenic overgrowth

• Food sensitivity and nutrient testing to identify reactive foods and nutrient imbalances

• Toxin and inflammation panels to evaluate environmental exposures and systemic inflammation

These insights help craft a tailored protocol that supports metabolism, detoxification, hormonal balance, and gut health.

The Role of the Microbiome in Weight

Emerging research has shown that your gut microbiome—the trillions of microbes living in your digestive tract—plays a central role in how your body stores fat, regulates blood sugar, manages cravings, and extracts nutrients from food.

Imbalances in gut bacteria (known as dysbiosis) can promote weight gain by:

• Disrupting hunger and satiety signaling (like leptin and ghrelin)

• Increasing inflammation, which interferes with insulin sensitivity

• Creating metabolites that promote fat storage

• Affecting mood and energy, which can influence food choices

By restoring microbial balance through targeted probiotics, prebiotics, dietary shifts, and antimicrobial support when needed, Dr. Andersson helps you build a gut environment that supports healthy weight and vitality.

Personalized Nutrition & Lifestyle Support

Dr. Andersson provides individualized dietary recommendations, emphasizing whole, anti-inflammatory foods and sustainable eating patterns tailored to your biochemistry. She often incorporates:

• Low-glycemic, blood sugar-stabilizing meals

• Anti-inflammatory and gut-healing foods

• Fasting protocols (when appropriate)

• Supportive supplements such as fiber blends, adaptogens, mitochondrial support, and microbiome balancers

Beyond nutrition, Dr. Andersson helps patients explore the emotional and energetic patterns that may be contributing to weight struggles—bringing in support around stress, sleep, movement, and mindset.
