LESS FATIGUE. MORE CONTROL. LASTING RESULTS.
Weight gain in mid-life isn’t about willpower — it’s about biology. Hormones, insulin, and metabolism all shift with age and stress. At Summa, we target the systems that drive weight gain to help men reclaim energy, strength, and confidence.
what men notice - but rarely talk about
The signs are subtle at first:
* Working out harder but not seeing results
* Mid-day fatigue, brain fog, or sugar cravings
* Waking unrefreshed or relying on caffeine to push through
* Clothes tightening around the waist despite “doing the same things”
* Irritability or low drive
Chronic stress keeps insulin and cortisol elevated, trapping fat storage and reducing muscle tone. That combination can feel like quicksand — the harder you push, the less traction you get.
At Summa, we test what’s really happening: hormone levels, metabolic markers, nutrient status, and body composition. Then we target the system, not just the symptoms.
why it matters
By the time most men reach their 40s or 50s, metabolism has slowed — but the demands haven’t. Long work hours, disrupted sleep, and constant cortisol elevation all push insulin higher and testosterone lower. The result: stubborn belly fat, afternoon crashes, and declining motivation to train.
This isn’t just about appearance. It’s about energy regulation, brain function, and long-term disease prevention. Excess visceral fat raises inflammation and dulls hormonal signaling, making it harder to lose weight even with strict effort. Understanding this biology is the first step to regaining control.
beyond weight loss - metabolic resilience
Fat loss is just the entry point. The real goal is metabolic resilience — a body that burns fuel efficiently, manages stress better, and recovers faster.
We connect members with nutritionists, trainers, and performance coaches who specialize in men’s health and understand the realities of high-stress work. The goal isn’t to chase a number — it’s to rebuild confidence, stamina, and focus from the inside out.
Performance Integration
Once metabolic balance is restored, many men transition into Summa’s performance and resilience programs — linking weight optimization with cognitive, hormonal, and physical longevity.
GLP-1 Therapy
Medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide can help regulate appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce fat mass while preserving lean muscle. Used appropriately, they retrain metabolic signaling for lasting change.
THE SUMMA APPROACH
MIC Injections
A blend of methionine, inositol, and choline to support liver function and fat metabolism. MIC can enhance the effects of GLP-1 therapy or stand alone as a metabolic booster during weight-loss phases.
Hormone Optimization
Restoring testosterone, thyroid, and other key hormones to ensure fat loss doesn’t come at the expense of energy, strength, or mood.
Nutrition & Fitness
Tap our experts to build sustainable habits — not restrictive plans. We emphasize high-protein diets, resistance training, and recovery protocols that complement medical therapy.
Monitoring & Support
Regular check-ins, lab reviews, and real-world adjustments ensure progress stays consistent and safe.
