reframing metabolic health with Dr. Brianna Bingham

Reframe your metabolic health

If you're tired of being told to lose weight, but not given the tools to successfully do so, well, so am I! As a person who has struggled with overweight and obesity my entire life, I have been on that side of the exam table, being told to count calories, cut carbs, and exercise, more times in my life than I can count. I am fed up, and frankly most of my patients are too! I am an internal medicine doctor, on my own weight loss journey, who is passionate about helping my patients reach their health goals in a sustainable and practical way. Join my mailing list for exclusive tips and tricks, and hear about my own weight loss journey along the way.

I am OFFICIALLY a board certified internist!!! After a rough few years, I am DONE with the ABIM initial certification exam and have become Board Certified in Internal Medicine! This means I can now pursue my next endeavor or becoming a board certified obesity specialist! ABOM, here I come.

Unfortunately, I do love…. #unfortunatelyidolove

I stopped working for a toxic corporate healthcare system, started a new job in a value based care clinic for seniors. It is a refreshing change! I’m excited to see the difference in this kind of care and see how much patients benefit from it! #valuebasedcare #primarycare #lifeupdates

I’ve been busy y’all! Here’s a tease at my new project! This is for anyone who wants to follow along, get exclusive tips, and be the first to know when you can work with me personally on your health goals! We will go live soon! #rootandreclaimhealth #metabolicmedicine #obesityspecialist #webdesign #professionaldevelopment

I’m officially started at my new clinic! Patients are starting to get scheduled in the next couple of weeks! I am thrilled for the new change of pace! In the meantime, I’m just powering through some computer trainings.

Who says you have to give up everything you love to reach your goals? When I was in middle school, I would literally make homemade cookie dough and hide it in the back of my fridge so my mom didn’t know (can we say… binge eating maybe?) but instead of hiding or being ashamed… I made a high protein alternative! Plain Greek yogurt, peanut butter, protein powder, honey, chocolate chips and I added vanilla. It was amazing. 42g of protein in the bowl (you can’t eat it all at once though). I enjoyed it as much as chunky, dorky 7th grade Brianna :)

If you were a patient pursuing weight loss in my clinic would you…..?
Or comment if you’d prefer alternative hours!!

It’s crunch time y’all! My internal medicine test is 11 days away, I had my first session with my personal trainer after my surgery today and it felt great! I so missed the gym. I have lost 24 pounds in the last month, guys. That is INSANE. I’m still learning what foods I can and can’t eat, but overall recovering well. After my exam is over, I will have so much more brain capacity to post workouts and updates, but for the next two weeks, it’s gonna be slim pickings on content as all I’m doing is studying 😵😵‍💫

Getting in my #stepbet steps with @JENNA 💗 bariatric bestie at the gym, but my heart is with the people lifting weights. I haven’t been cleared just yet to lift again. I feel kinda weak, and I’m tired of walking, but it’s all part of the healing process. It was good for my mental health just to be in the gym again though! A year ago I would’ve laughed at you for saying I’d be a gym girlie. I’m definitely not a cardio person, but the community at our gym is so encouraging! #postbariatricsurgery #weightlossjourney #glp1community #bariatriccommunity #gymmotivation

I may not be good, but I can do it!! #healthjourney #weightlossjourney #bariatriccommunity #glp1community

I joined @jenna_bariatricbestie ‘s #stepbet this week! You have time to join me til 7/20! This is a warm up week! #postbariatricsurgery #weightlossjourney #bariatriccommunity

Make your weight loss journey fit your life! It really is doable, you just sometimes gotta get creative. #postbariatricsurgery #weightlossjourney #bariatriccommunity #gastricbypass

I’m losing track of the days now. Getting back to my regular routines, feeling pretty good! I go back to work on Wednesday and am anxious to see how that goes. #gastricbypass #bariatricsurgery #bariatriccommunity

Post op day #1 update! #gastricbypass #bariatricsurgery #bariatriccommunity

When are insurance companies going to stop discrimination!? #obesityisadisease #obesitymedicine #obesitydoctor #glp1 #glp1community

Thank you to every single person who wished me good luck or prayed for me! I came out of surgery great, dealt with quite a bit of nausea, but was able to get up, walk around, drink some water, eat a popsicle. I’m hopefully set to go home tomorrow! #gastricbypassupdate #gastricbypass

Welcome to my page- where I love to talk about weight loss meds, making decisions for a healthier you, and my work as a primary care doctor becoming board certified in obesity medicine. I’m thrilled you’re on this journey with me and can’t wait to add more progress and updates along the way! #weightlossjourney #bariatricsurgery #gastricbypass #fitnessjourney #glp1community #obesitymedicine #obesityisadisease

What questions would you want to ask your doctor about weight loss surgery?! Here’s why I’m having bariatric surgery, and why it’s a good option for some of my patients! #gastricbypass #bariatricsurgery #batiatriccommunity #weightlossjouney #obesitymedicinedoctor

Only 19 days until I can puréed food 😭 #gastricbypasssurgery #bariatricsurgery #bariatriccommunity

I want to let you in on a secret - those who are successful are not alone.

People who succeed at their goals surround themselves with other successful people and people who help them reach those goals. In the past 12 months I’ve experienced the most significant physical and mental growth I’ve had in years. Who is on my team? I have a medical team, a therapist, a personal trainer, a massage therapist and chiropractor to name a few. These are just the professionals I utilize in order to maintain my physical and mental health. But this doesn’t include mentors, my supportive husband and family, friends, and colleagues that all help me along the way. If you don’t have some folks in your corner, it’s so much harder to make it. I’ve lost 90 pounds this year and have gained strength, stamina, and patience. You are totally strong enough to do this, but why struggle alone? Find a tribe!

“Health insurance companies do not want us healthy” is the most disheartening fact I’ve learned in medicine. What’s the most shocking thing you’ve learned about the medical industry? #medicalsystemfailures #healthinsirancestruggles #healthinsuranceisascam #bariatricsurgery #bariatriccommunity

When I started Zepbound I could only eat ramen for like two weeks, and then got really sick. It’s been about 3 months since I tried it, I’ve been off my med for 2 weeks while preparing for surgery and thought I’d give it a whirl, but no such luck. It’s so sad cause this is THE BEST ramen in town. #glp1community #glp1forweightloss #weightlossjouney #bariatriccommunity

Might be an unpopular opinion, but maybe we shouldn’t be feeling guilty for eating food? Isn’t that kind of the diagnostic criteria of disordered eating? #healthjourney #obesityisadisease #healrelationshipwithfood

Friends, we’re getting close. How did you prepare for your bariatric surgery?! I figure if I’m restricted to a liquid diet I’m going to have cute cups at least. Let me know what you did to prepare for the big day! #rygb #bariatricsurgery #obesitymedicine #weightlossjourney

Another non scale victory?! I have always loved theater, and even at my biggest would and enjoy a play or musical even if it wasn’t comfortable. But since losing 90 pounds, I didn’t have to even worry about it this week at Wicked! I will always stand by making cultured activities accessible for all no matter size, but let’s be real, skinny privilege is a thing. Regardless, we had a great time in Tulsa this weekend and I’m super thankful this journey has made my life more vibrant!! #skinnyprivelege #weightlossjouney #WeightLossDoctor #nonscalevictory

Not all weight is created equal.
Muscle = protective.
Visceral fat = harmful.
The scale doesn’t tell the full story—body composition does.

10 lbs of fat gone. 2 lbs of muscle gained. 💪
This isn’t just a number on a screen—it’s protein drinks, sore muscles, and showing up even when I didn’t feel like it.
Grateful for the journey, my trainer, and what’s ahead. Let’s keep going. 🔥

Woah, those daily changes really add up, folks! Even when you don’t realize it. See how far you’ve come, even when you feel like you have a loooong way to go still. #transformation #weightlossjourney #doctoronaweightlossjourney

Just a glimpse. I am loving my life recently! #blessed #weightlossjourney #beingactive #nutrition

Here’s how I fuel my clinic mornings! Protein and fiber are a must for anyone on a GLP1. This is how I start the day off right. I used to sabotage myself with carb-heavy, high-calorie breakfasts on the way to work. I don’t usually have time to make breakfast at home, and Starbucks is literally a block away from my clinic. This is a simple change I’ve made that makes me feel more energy and less hunger in the morning. Remember, you have to find sustainable changes, things that fit into your life, or it’s hard to maintain those changes. Thanks for coming along with me! #obesityisadisease #weightlossjourney #doctoronaweightlossjourney #morningroutine

Small steps every day lead to remarkable transformations over time. Keep showing up for yourself! #weightlossjourney #tiktokdoc #consistencyiskey

All the propaganda #notbuyingit #primarycare #doctorsofinsta #capcut

What’s your Monday breakfast look like? This is what I eat every work day to start the day off with fiber, protein and coffee to keep full all morning and still fit it in my busy, on-the-go life! I love Starbucks, and love that I can pick this up just a minute from work. I add this vegan protein to my oatmeal with a bit of extra milk to boost my little sweet treat’s macros. I also always drink my blonde roast black, so I’m not drinking too many empty calories. This is a huge improvement from the pumpkin bread and iced coffee with hazelnut and cream I used to get. I’m finding small, sustainable ways to keep my weight loss going. What do you eat in the morning so you’re not sabotaging the whole day!?

#weightloss #habits #eatyourprotein #zepbound #obesitymedicine #obesityisadisease

1. Weigh in frequently- as a rule, and for most of my patients, I don’t recommend weighing in more than once a week. But for myself, I’ve only been weighing in once a month. I don’t know that there is any evidence behind this, I just know I get too obsessed with a number that isn’t necessarily the best measurement for my health.

2. Have a goal weight- I knew going into this my goals were not a certain weight. I had and still have too much weight to lose and it feels overwhelming to put a number on it. I am officially down 90 pounds from my heaviest, and know I have much more than 90 to go, but my main goal was to feel better in my body and I’m well on my way! I am stronger, more energetic, have more endurance and excited to see where I end up!

3. Cook/meal prep- this isn’t something I recommend to everyone. In fact, the easiest way to know exactly what nutrients you’re eating is to cook it yourself, but I also know that you have to fit your weight loss journey into your life in a sustainable way, and everyone’s lives are different. I have a VERY full life and schedule, and even before I started losing weight I didn’t cook much. We have incorporated eating smaller portions, more protein and healthier premade foods into our lives and this has worked for us. I find it’s really helpful for patients too that I can relate to their real world struggle to access healthier options without adding hours to their weekly routines. It’s all about building habits one by one that we can stick to!

It’s been 6 months since I started my medical weight loss journey and I’ve decided to make a switch from Wegovy to Zepbound. Here’s why: 1) insurance coverage (a difference of $600 vs. $250- with manufacturers coupons that means $375 down to $25 a month), 2) I feel like I have plateaed and am feeling discouraged so the switch made sense, AND 3) head-to-head, Zepbound shows better weight loss! I’ll talk more about my experience and about why I have been silent on here the past few months shortly! Good to be back though!! #weightloss #obesitymedicine #obesitydoctor #obesityisadisease #wegovy #zepbound

Weight loss surgery or medications? How did you decide what was best for you? What do you want to know about each? #obesitymedicine #obesityisadisease #obesitydoctor #obesity_treatment #semaglutide #weightlossjourney #glp1

Access to obesity medicine verges on outright discrimination here. This was my experience, and my job as your doctor is to try to help you navigate this outdated, confusing system. #obesitymedicine #obesityisadisease #obesitydoctor #obesity_treatment #semaglutide

See why you shouldn’t ask for Ozempic for weight loss! What questions do you have about weight loss meds that you wish you could ask your doctor before starting treatment? #obesitymedicine #obesityisadisease #glp1 #obesitydoctor #CapCut

Have you been thinking about seeing if you can take a weight loss med? I’m an internal medicine doctor working on obesity medicine board certification and this is what I ask my patients to do before starting treatment. I’ll be sharing more tips on how to get started and what to expect from weight loss meds. #obesitymedicine #obesityisadisease #glp1 #obesitydoctor

I started Wegovy, a GLP-1 medication, about 6 weeks ago and I’m loving it. I’ll post a video soon talking about these meds and how I chose this one. Spoiler alert: insurance has a TON to do with it. I’m seeing so many Wegovy/Zepbound success stories on here and it makes me so excited! I prescribe these drugs every day, but now I’m experiencing the hype first hand!

"...I hit the jackpot when I found Dr. Bingham, though... She’s attentive reviews file before seeing you so you’re not having to repeat everything you’ve already told her and waste valuable time during the visit. I am overweight and she is the first doctor to not make me feel bad about my size. I feel like she truly listens and really cares..."

"...she has done more to assist me with maintaining my health than anyone so far. She is truly interested in my health concerns and always provides care that makes me feel less anxious.
