Success Stories
“Seven months into this new lifestyle with Dr. Sowa, I am 50lbs lighter in both weight and stress/anxiety, and have no desire to ever go back to the way I was living before. I am grateful to have found a doctor that listens and approaches PCOS medically and holistically.”
-Erica, age 38
“Dr. Sowa’s approach has, and continues, to work so well for me because she truly cares about her patients as a whole, and works to ensure that every aspect of her program is working for me. I feel constantly supported, and for the first time in my life am confident that I am able to
maintain my body at its healthiest–122 pounds lighter and stronger.”
-Kristen, age 32
“Prior to the SoWell program, I thought I was eating well and totally healthy, but I couldn’t stop gaining weight. Dr. Sowa found a hormonal issue that had been overlooked by all of my other doctors and following her plan, I was able to drop 25lbs and keep it off – all without any medications.”

Program Details
How is this program different?
Aside from our unique approach, the Weight Biology Reset blends features that other programs don’t. It includes medical management, shared group learning, and online resources. It’s not an app, so there’s real-person interaction with a board-certified obesity medicine physician.
Does this include meal plans?
The Weight Biology Reset does not include meal plans. Instead, we focus on the underlying reasons for weight gain or feeling out of control around food. We’ll empower you with a simple framework for nutrition—one that doesn’t leave you hungry all the time.
How do virtual appointments work?
We use a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted platform for all communications, including video chat appointments. It’s easy to log in from your phone or computer.
How much time do I need to commit to the Weight Biology Reset?
We want to make sure you have the energy to commit to your health. But we’ve crafted the program to be as easy and time-protective as possible. Each week, we’ll have a one-hour workshop. Then, we’ll give you simple follow-up tasks that take only 10 minutes a day.
Can I do your program if I am vegan or have a food allergy?
We don’t prescribe specific meal plans, so you can make this work for whatever restrictions you may have.

I don’t have 100 lbs. to lose. Can I join?
Absolutely. It doesn’t matter what your specific weight is—if struggling with your metabolic health is part of your life, this program will help you feel your best.
