About Palmetto Women's Health

Palmetto Women's Health serves women across Mount Pleasant and the greater Charleston area with comprehensive obstetric, gynecologic, and aesthetic services. Our practice combines traditional OB/GYN care with modern weight management and skin health solutions. We understand that women's health is complex and interconnected, hormones, weight, and skin are all part of the bigger picture.

Our board-certified physicians bring years of experience to every patient interaction. We believe in treating each woman as an individual with unique needs and goals. Whether you're seeking pregnancy care, menopause management, weight loss support, or skin rejuvenation, we're here to help you feel confident and healthy.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive women's health services include obstetric and gynecologic care, menopause management, and weight loss programs tailored for women. We understand how hormonal changes impact weight, mood, and overall wellness throughout life stages. Our weight loss programs account for these hormonal realities rather than using one-size-fits-all approaches. We offer advanced skin care treatments including facials, laser therapy, and injectables to help you look as good as you feel. Our integrated approach means your OB/GYN, weight loss coach, and skincare specialist are coordinated in your care. We also provide wellness counseling on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes that support your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do hormones affect my weight loss?

Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, and insulin directly impact metabolism, appetite, and where you store fat. Many women can't lose weight successfully without addressing hormonal factors. That's why our programs assess and manage hormones specifically.

Can I do weight loss if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

We don't recommend active weight loss during pregnancy. Postpartum, if you're breastfeeding, we create safe programs that support nursing while gradually losing weight. Timing matters, and we'll advise you based on your individual situation.

Why am I gaining weight around menopause?

Declining estrogen slows metabolism, increases belly fat storage, and affects appetite hormones. Regular exercise becomes harder, and metabolism naturally slows with age. Our menopause program addresses these specific changes.

What if my thyroid is affecting my weight?

We assess thyroid function as part of our comprehensive evaluation. If thyroid issues are present, we work with your primary care doctor on management while supporting your weight loss appropriately.

Can birth control affect my weight loss?

Certain birth control methods can impact metabolism and appetite. We review your contraception as part of our assessment and may recommend adjustments if it's significantly affecting your weight.

What's the right weight loss speed for women?

1-2 pounds per week is generally healthy and sustainable. Some women lose faster initially; that's normal. We monitor your progress and adjust your program to keep you healthy while moving toward your goals.

Do the aesthetic services help with weight loss?

They don't directly cause weight loss, but they boost confidence and motivation. Many women find that looking better helps them stay committed to their weight loss program.

How does postpartum weight loss differ from regular weight loss?

Postpartum is unique because hormones are fluctuating, you're sleep-deprived, and your body is still recovering. We time interventions appropriately and use programming designed for postpartum bodies, not generic diets.
