Many patients in the traditional healthcare system feel frustrated and unheard when a doctor simply tells them to “eat less, move more” to address health issues like high blood pressure and sleep apnea.
Dr. Lessing discusses why it is so important to find a doctor who listens and treats overweight and obesity with sensitivity and empathy.
Obesity is a chronic & complex disease that requires a multifaceted approach.
It’s not always as simple as just eating less and moving more. For some people hormone issues can make weight management a bigger problem.
Semaglutide, a medication that increases GLP-1 hormone levels, is a promising treatment option for addressing the hormone imbalances involved in obesity.
In this video, Dr. Suzy Lessing educates that using Semaglutide to treat obesity is not only safe but effective. This medicine helps treat a hormone problem related to obesity in a similar way that hypothyroidism and menopausal symptoms are treated with hormone therapy.
Dr. Suzy Lessing, available at our Lakeway / Austin TX primary care clinic, has created a special Weight Management & Weight Loss program (available in Texas & via telemedicine in South Carolina).
You don’t have to go it alone. Lose weight, gain weight or manage your weight with a doctor by your side.

As a healthcare provider, Dr. Lessing has been receiving lots of texts and emails from patients lately, asking if they need antibiotics for their illness. While antibiotics can be a helpful tool for treating bacterial infections, they’re not always necessary.
Dr. Suzy Lessing shares valuable healthcare tips on certain situations when antibiotics should be used such as strep throat, pneumonia, and bacterial sinus infections.
It’s not uncommon for patients to wonder whether they should take ibuprofen or Tylenol when they’re feeling unwell. If you’re a generally healthy adult without liver disease, kidney disease, stomach ulcers, or other chronic diseases, you can take both ibuprofen and Tylenol at the same time.
Dr. Suzy Lessing educates on when to take Tylenol and Ibuprofen when not feeling well.
Hey hey! Dr. Lessing here, and welcome to my beautiful office at DirectMed DPC in Lakeway, Texas! I’m so excited to share what makes our Direct Primary Care practice special and how we can work together to take care of your health.
I get a lot of questions about what’s included in our membership, so let me break it down for you:
What really sets us apart is the relationship we build. This isn’t just about medical care—it’s about having a doctor who knows you, understands your health goals, and is genuinely invested in your wellbeing.
I also schedule free meet and greets, and that’s a great opportunity to see if you think this would be a great fit and if we would work together well. It’s also a great opportunity for me to check in and see if I would be a good fit for you.
During our meet and greet, you can:
There’s no obligation—just a chance to meet, talk, and see if we’re a good match.
If this sounds like the kind of healthcare experience you’ve been looking for, I’d love to hear from you!
