Who We Help

Personalized Care for Weight, Metabolic Health, and Midlife

Capital Healing serves adults throughout the District of Columbia who want physician-led support for health concerns that may be interconnected. Doctor Hudson considers your symptoms, medical history, current medications, lifestyle, previous treatment, and goals when developing your care plan.

Care may be appropriate if you are:

  • Struggling to lose weight or maintain previous weight loss
  • Considering whether weight loss medication may be appropriate
  • Managing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes
  • Concerned about fatty liver disease or other cardiometabolic risks
  • Experiencing symptoms or health changes related to perimenopause or menopause
  • Looking for practical support with nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and other daily behaviors
  • Seeking ongoing physician guidance rather than a generic or short-term program

Capital Healing provides focused medical care that can complement the services you receive from your primary care physician, gynecologist, and other healthcare professionals. It does not replace routine primary or gynecologic care.
