The Long Balance Program
Restore your hormones. Reclaim your metabolism.
Is It Your Hormones, Your Metabolism — Or Both? You Don't Have to Figure It Out Alone.
Whether you need medication-assisted weight loss, hormone replacement therapy, or both, Dr. Long builds a plan around your labs, your symptoms, and your goals — not a one-size-fits-all program.
Virtual-only · Available in NC and SC
“Dr. Long helped me realize what medicine was right for me to help me get over the hump and the monthly check-ins help keep me accountable. I am closer to my goal weight than I have been in years. I am so happy I decided to join this program!”
Is This Right for You?
This is a great fit if you:
Suspect your weight, energy, or mood changes may be hormone-related
Want medication-assisted weight loss support, HRT, or both — without guessing which one you need
Prefer a virtual-only relationship with your doctor
Are looking for ongoing management, not a one-time visit
Consider The Long Answer instead if: your symptoms are more ambiguous and you're not sure weight or hormones are even the issue — that one-time visit is built to help you find out before committing to a plan
What This Is
A lot of women are told their weight gain, fatigue, or mood changes are "just aging" — without anyone actually checking whether hormones are part of the picture. The Long Balance Program gives you a physician who looks at both sides: medication-assisted weight loss and hormone replacement therapy, together, under one plan, so you're not guessing which specialist to see or bouncing between providers who only look at half the problem.
