At the Couri Center in Peoria, IL, we understand that maintaining a healthy weight can feel like an uphill battle-especially during perimenopause and menopause. That’s why we created The Bridge Program, a comprehensive solution that connects two powerful approaches: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and Comprehensive Weight Loss Support. This integrative program helps women balance hormones, lose weight, and regain control of their health with the guidance of our expert team.

Why The Bridge Program?

Research and our clinical experience show that women who are hormonally balanced are more successful with weight loss. The Bridge is built to give you the tools and support you need to finally feel in control of your health and body.

What The Program Includes

Hormone Optimization

Balancing your hormones with bioidentical HRT helps address common symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood swings, and low energy-all while supporting your body’s ability to manage weight more effectively.

Personalized Weight-Loss Strategies

Our medically guided program combines nutrition, movement, and sustainable lifestyle habits to promote long-term success without fad dieting or extremes.

GLP-1 Medications (Optional)

When appropriate, safe and effective GLP-1 medications can be added. These help regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and improve metabolism.

Lifestyle Foundations

Lifestyle is at the heart of everything we do. Together, we’ll build daily routines that support better sleep, more energy, and improved well-being-inside and out.
