About Empower Lifestyle Medicine

Olga Ihnatsenka practices family medicine and is also board certified in lifestyle medicine and obesity medicine. She worked as a physician in Belarus before moving to the US, then trained at the University of Florida and stayed on as clinical faculty. Care here is a direct membership, and new members start with two 60 minute appointments before settling into monthly 30 minute visits with messaging in between. The practice prescribes FDA approved hormone therapy and testosterone gel for women, and says it generally does not use compounded hormones. Women who would rather not take hormones are offered non-hormonal medication and lifestyle changes instead. She writes the practice's blog series on estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and she talks about using lifestyle medicine through her own menopause transition. Members must live in Florida, and visits can be in person in Gainesville or by video.
