Hi, I’m Lisa Oldson, MD

It would be my honor to help you improve your health and longevity by addressing your weight, using my upbeat and positive, data-driven approach. Let’s look forward to see what’s possible. I’ll share the tools you need to lose weight and keep it off, once and for all. We’ll talk about the latest science, weight loss medications, mindset work, stress management, and an abundance of skills & strategies that have worked for women in my program, allowing them to truly transform their lives.

 
 

About Me

After many years as a primary care physician at Northwestern in Chicago, I obtained board certification in Obesity Medicine and found my niche. Excess weight contributes to health conditions from diabetes to hypertension, high cholesterol to arthritis, infertility to depression, and even many types of cancer. By treating the underlying weight, I address these complications at the root of the problem. 

Chronic, excess weight is not your fault. It’s not caused by a lack of willpower or a personality flaw. It is a medical condition, caused by genetics, hormones, neurobehavioral factors, and our environment. At Oldson Medical, we understand all of that, and we can help.

While nutrition, movement, mindset and behavioral changes are key tools in my toolbox, medication and referral for weight loss surgery are other modalities we may utilize. My approach is collaborative and respectful. I know this isn’t your first rodeo, and I know you don’t need a lecture about potato chips. You will never hear, “move more, eat less” from me. Identifying client motivation and playing off of a person's strengths are key. Our focus will be on data driven recommendations, to create an individualized treatment plan that is grounded in science. 

Welcome to Oldson Medical. I can’t wait to meet you.
