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. If you’re feeling discouraged, believe me, better health & weight loss IS possible for you. 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, habit change, 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.

Healthy Weight Loss IS Possible For You.

Maybe you’ve tried many programs (or diets) before, and you’re feeling discouraged. Having the right support can make all the difference. Lisa Oldson, MD is a board certified physician EXPERT in the field of weight loss, and also a certified coach. Why does coaching matter? We know the science of what has to happen for weight loss (AND MAINTENANCE!) to occur, but sometimes sustainable habit change is hard. That’s where coaching comes in. Dr. Oldson will help you navigate those moments when the thing you “SHOULD” do bumps up against what you actually WANT to do. She’s been there too, and understands the struggle.

Below, you can check out a few clips from our Smart Weight Loss Coaching online program. These clips are from actual coaching calls. In the online group program, Dr. Oldson does a live (on Zoom) call weekly, where you’re welcome to raise your hand and come on screen to share where you’re feeling stuck, or keep your camera off and learn from the obstacles that other people share. Can’t make the live call? No problem. You’ll have access to the call replay to watch at your convenience..
