Sample Speaking Topics

Dr. Leslie Sanchez-Goettler specializes in obesity medicine, and weight loss for perimenopausal and menopausal women. Sample speaking topics include:
MENOPAUSE

Menopause and Metabolism: Why Midlife Weight Gain Happens — and What to Do About It

Explores how perimenopause and menopause alter metabolism, fat storage, and muscle mass. Offers practical, hormone-aware strategies to manage or reverse weight gain in midlife.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Creating a Holistic Weight Loss Program: Treating the Whole Woman, Not Just the Scale

Introduces an integrative, long-term strategy combining metabolic health, nutrition, movement, hormone balance, sleep, and mental well-being — particularly impactful for women in menopause.
MENOPAUSE

Hormones, Hunger, and Hot Flashes: Understanding Weight Gain During Perimenopause

Explains how estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and insulin changes in midlife disrupt appetite, cravings, and fat storage — and how to bring hormones back into alignment for weight control.
HEALTH & WELLBEING

Strength Over Skinny: Why Midlife Women Should Focus on Muscle, Not the Scale

Reframes success away from weight alone and toward strength, lean mass, and metabolic resilience — with emphasis on resistance training, protein, and redefining body goals post-40.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

GLP-1s and Other Weight Loss Medications: Crutch or a Healthy Part of a Weight Loss Plan?

Separates myth from medicine around GLP-1 agonists (like semaglutide and tirzepatide) and other FDA-approved options. Discusses how these tools fit into a sustainable, medically sound approach — especially for women struggling with weight in midlife.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Weight Loss at the Gym: How Health Clubs Can Offer Real, Medical-Grade Results

Teaches gyms and wellness centers how to move beyond fads to build programs that support long-term weight loss for midlife members using medical insight, behavioral science, and personalization.
HEALTH & WELLBEING

Unshaming Obesity: A Compassionate Approach to Weight Loss in Women Over 40

Challenges harmful weight stigma and reframes obesity as a chronic, treatable medical condition. Empowers providers and patients to pursue evidence-based care without blame or guilt.
MENOPAUSE

Breaking the Diet Cycle: Sustainable Weight Loss Strategies That Work in Menopause

Explores why traditional diets fail in perimenopause and menopause, and how to replace them with sustainable, physiology-based strategies that support energy, hormones, and long-term weight stability.
