Menopause and perimenopause care
-
Low testosterone and men’s hormone care

Blood pressure, cholesterol, prediabetes, or metabolic health check-ins

Weight Loss by Telemedicine
Virtual support for weight loss and metabolic health
Virtual weight loss care may include:
-
GLP-1 medication discussion and follow-up
-
Medication side effect management
-
Nutrition and protein guidance
-
Lab review
-
Progress check-ins
-
Insurance or medication access discussion
-
Metabolic health support

Planning for long-term maintenance
In-person visits may still be recommended for body composition tracking, vital signs, physical exam needs, or other concerns that cannot be fully addressed virtually.
Medical weight loss often requires ongoing support, medication adjustments, side effect management, nutrition troubleshooting, and review of labs or progress.
Hormone Care by Telemedicine

-
Perimenopause and menopause symptom follow-up
-
HRT discussion and monitoring
-
Hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood changes, and brain fog follow-up
-
Low testosterone evaluation and TRT monitoring
-
Low libido or sexual health concerns
-
Lab review and medication adjustment
-
Questions about side effects, dosing, or treatment response
Some hormone concerns may require an in-person exam, vital signs, lab testing, or additional evaluation.
Why Choose Focused Health & Wellness?
Virtual care with an internal medicine physician
Telemedicine should still feel personal, thoughtful, and medically grounded.
Dr. Epple brings an internal medicine lens to virtual primary care, which means your visit can look beyond one symptom or one medication. Weight, hormones, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, sleep, mood, medications, prevention, and long-term health are often connected.
The goal is not rushed, one-size-fits-all care. The goal is a clear plan that makes sense for your health and your life.
