Sound familiar?
You've been eating right, exercising, and doing "everything you're supposed to do"—but the scale won't budge. Or worse, it keeps creeping up.
You've tried calorie counting. Keto. Intermittent fasting. Maybe even an expensive online program. And you're starting to wonder if something is seriously wrong with you.
Nothing is wrong with you. Something changed in your body—and nobody told you about it.
Your metabolism slowed down
After 40, you lose muscle mass every decade—and muscle is the engine that burns calories at rest. Less muscle means slower metabolism, even if you eat less than before.
Your hormones changed the rules
Estrogen, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid shifts alter where your body stores fat, how it processes food, and why cravings hit harder than ever before.
Hidden barriers are blocking you
Insulin resistance, sleep apnea, vitamin D deficiency, and chronic stress—these are medical problems that no diet app will ever diagnose or fix.
The problem isn't your effort. It's that no one looked for the real obstacles. That's where we come in.
Meet Dr. Farhangfar—Your Partner in This
I'm Dr. Kamyar Farhangfar—board-certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine specialist with over 25 years of clinical experience.
I've worked with hundreds of women who are smart, disciplined, and successful in every other area of their lives—but can't figure out why their bodies stopped cooperating after 40.
Here's what I've learned: the answer is almost never "try harder." It's almost always a hidden metabolic or hormonal barrier that nobody looked for.
My job is to find what's blocking you, build a plan that matches your actual physiology, and walk with you until the results match the effort you've been putting in all along.
This isn't a diet program. This is medicine—personalized to your body, your labs, and your life.

This consultation is educational. You'll leave with clarity on what's blocking you, whether you work with us or not. No hard sell. Ever.
We Find What Other Programs Miss
Most weight loss programs treat symptoms. We diagnose causes.
Before we recommend a single change to your diet or exercise, we look at what's actually happening inside your body—because until those barriers are identified and addressed, no amount of effort will produce lasting results.
Our comprehensive approach evaluates the full spectrum of metabolic and hormonal factors that influence weight after 40. We run the tests other providers skip and interpret results in the context of your unique physiology, not just lab "normal ranges."
When you remove what's blocking you, your effort finally has somewhere to go.
Insulin resistance
Often hidden behind "normal" glucose levels
Hormonal imbalances
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone shifts
Thyroid dysfunction
Even when labs appear "in range"
Cortisol dysregulation
From chronic stress patterns
Sleep apnea and disruption
Preventing recovery and fat loss
Vitamin D and nutrient deficiencies
Impacting metabolic function
Medication side effects
Causing unexpected weight gain
Metabolic adaptation
From years of restrictive dieting

12 hidden barriers your doctor probably isn't testing for—and the specific labs to request at your next appointment.
This is the exact checklist I use with my own patients to uncover the metabolic and hormonal obstacles that keep weight stuck after 40. It includes the tests most primary care doctors overlook, what "normal" results actually mean for your metabolism, and how to advocate for the care you deserve.

  • The 12 tests most doctors skip (and why they matter for weight loss)
  • What "normal" labs actually mean for your metabolism after 40
  • Red flags that signal hidden insulin resistance
  • When to ask about thyroid, cortisol, and vitamin D testing

What Makes Destiny Health Clinic Different
We're not a diet program. We're not a wellness coach. We're a physician-led medical practice that treats weight loss as the complex medical issue it actually is—especially for women over 40.
Comprehensive Testing
We run the labs other providers skip: insulin resistance markers, complete hormone panels, thyroid function, vitamin D, cortisol patterns, and metabolic markers.
Medical Diagnosis
We don't guess. We diagnose what's blocking you, explain it clearly, and build a treatment plan based on your actual physiology.
Physician Oversight
Dr. Farhangfar personally reviews your progress, adjusts your plan based on results, and provides ongoing medical guidance throughout your journey.
Personalized Strategy
Your plan is built for YOUR body—not a generic template. We adjust based on how you respond, not how someone else did.
What You Can Expect
  • Initial consultation to review your history and goals
  • Comprehensive lab work to identify metabolic barriers
  • Personalized nutrition plan based on your metabolism
  • Movement recommendations appropriate for your fitness level
  • Sleep and stress management strategies
  • Medication when medically appropriate and safe
  • Regular follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust
  • Direct access to your physician throughout
Who This Is For
Our practice is specifically designed for women over 40 who have been trying to lose weight without success and suspect there might be an underlying medical reason.
You're a good fit if you've been putting in consistent effort, following advice, and still not seeing results. If you're willing to invest in a medical approach, commit to the process, and work with a physician who will dig deeper than surface-level solutions, we can help.
This isn't for people looking for a quick fix or magic pill. It's for women ready to understand what's really happening in their bodies and address it properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
We know you have questions. Here are the ones we hear most often from women considering our program.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
No referral is required. You can schedule your free consultation directly with us. However, if your insurance requires a referral for coverage, we'll provide guidance on obtaining one.
Is this covered by insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans for medical visits and lab work. Weight loss medications may have varying coverage depending on your specific plan. We'll verify your coverage and explain costs clearly before you commit.
How long does the program take?
Most patients see significant results within 12 weeks, but the timeline varies based on your starting point, metabolic barriers, and goals. Some women continue working with us for 6-12 months to reach and maintain their target weight.
Will I have to take medication?
Not necessarily. Medication is one tool we may recommend if it's medically appropriate and safe for your situation. Many patients achieve excellent results with nutrition, lifestyle changes, and addressing underlying metabolic issues without medication.
What if I've tried everything and nothing works?
That's exactly why we do comprehensive testing. When "everything" hasn't worked, it usually means there's an undiagnosed barrier that previous programs didn't identify. Our medical approach is designed specifically for situations like yours.
Do you offer virtual visits?
Yes. We offer both in-person appointments at our Sacramento/Folsom location and virtual consultations for patients who prefer remote care or live outside our immediate area.
