Getting started

Lifestyle medicine uses evidence-based changes involving nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, and other daily behaviors to support health and help manage chronic conditions. These strategies work alongside appropriate medical treatment rather than replacing it. Doctor Hudson is a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
Capital Healing serves adults seeking physician-led support for weight management, cardiometabolic health, and the changes associated with perimenopause and menopause. Care is personalized for patients managing one concern or several interconnected health issues.

Schedule an appointment, either through this website or by calling (984) 229-9745. We’ll confirm you’re located in a state where we’re licensed, and go from there.

Your first appointment includes a comprehensive discussion of your symptoms, medical history, current medications, lifestyle, previous treatment, and health goals. Doctor Hudson may also perform a physical examination, review existing laboratory results, or recommend additional testing based on your needs and appointment type.
Yes. Capital Healing provides focused care for weight, metabolic health, and midlife concerns but does not replace routine primary or gynecologic care. Doctor Hudson can work alongside your established healthcare providers and recommend additional evaluation when appropriate.

Appointments and Eligibility

Capital Healing offers office appointments in Durham, telehealth visits, and mobile in-person appointments. The appropriate option depends on where you are located, your medical needs, and scheduling availability.

For telehealth appointments, you must be physically located in one of these jurisdictions at the time of your visit. Visit the Areas Served page for additional details.

Doctor Hudson may travel to patients for in-person care within the jurisdictions where she is licensed. Mobile visit availability depends on your location, the type of care needed, and scheduling. Contact Capital Healing to determine whether a mobile appointment is available in your area.
You will need a private space, a reliable internet connection, and a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone. Appointment and patient portal instructions will be provided before your visit.
A referral is not generally required to request an appointment. However, some insurance plans require a referral for specialty care, so you should confirm your plan’s requirements before scheduling.

For eligible patients receiving care in North Carolina, Capital Healing accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, Brighton Health, Aetna/North Carolina State Health Plan, and traditional Medicare. Coverage and patient responsibility depend on the individual plan.
Outside North Carolina, patients may use traditional Medicare or choose self-pay. Medicare Advantage plans are not currently accepted for out-of-state care. If your insurance is not accepted, Capital Healing can explain the available self-pay options before you schedule.
Coverage varies by insurance plan and cannot be guaranteed. Weight loss medication, including GLP-1 medication, is billed separately by the pharmacy and is not included in visit or membership fees. Outside laboratories may bill you or your insurance separately for testing.

Services and Treatment

GLP-1 medications may be prescribed through the Medical Weight Loss Program when they are clinically appropriate and safe for the individual patient. Receiving an evaluation does not guarantee that a particular medication will be prescribed.

No. Medication is one possible part of a personalized weight loss plan. Care may also include nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, behavioral support, body composition monitoring, and ongoing follow-up.
Weight loss varies based on your starting point, health, treatment plan, medication response, and consistency over time. Doctor Hudson will help you establish realistic goals and monitor your progress, but no specific amount or rate of weight loss can be guaranteed.
Some patients can improve blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, liver health, weight, and other health markers through appropriate lifestyle changes and medical care. Outcomes depend on the condition and the individual. Visit the Cardiometabolic Health page to learn more. Never stop or reduce medication without guidance from the prescribing clinician.

Yes. Doctor Hudson is a member of The Menopause Society and provides perimenopause and menopause care that considers symptoms, sleep, weight, lifestyle, and metabolic health together. Capital Healing complements rather than replaces routine primary and gynecologic care.
