Free 10-Minute Metabolic Health Discovery Call
Discovery Call · 10 Minutes · No Cost
A 10-Minute Conversation About Your Metabolic Health
A no-cost, no-pressure introductory call with a physician and exercise physiologist. Talk through what you're working on — fat loss plateaus, insulin resistance concerns, energy issues, anti-aging strategy — and figure out whether a paid consultation, a structured program, or simply better self-directed guidance is the right next step.
This is not a clinical appointment or diagnostic session. It is a brief, honest conversation to understand your situation, share Dr. Fitzmaurice's general approach to metabolic health, and discuss what level of support — if any — makes sense for you.
What to Expect
What This Call Is Not
✕ A clinical medical appointment or diagnostic evaluation
✕ A session where Dr. Fitzmaurice will diagnose, prescribe, or recommend treatment
✕ A detailed personalized protocol — that requires a paid consultation
✕ A GLP-1 prescription consultation or weight-loss medication review
✕ A replacement for working with your existing physician
Who Should Book This Call
→ Adults over 40 hitting fat-loss plateaus despite "doing everything right"
→ People who suspect insulin resistance or metabolic dysfunction but haven't received clear guidance
→ Health-conscious adults wanting a personalized approach rather than generic templates
→ Anyone exploring anti-aging and longevity strategy from a metabolic health foundation
→ Readers of Why Fat Loss Stalls After 40 with questions specific to their own situation
The Personalized Approach
Metabolic health is not a cookie-cutter problem. The same calorie deficit, exercise plan, or supplement stack that works for one person may do nothing for another — because metabolic adaptation, hormonal context, training history, lab biomarkers, and medical reality vary from person to person.
General guidance like the framework in Why Fat Loss Stalls After 40 works for most people who follow it carefully. But for people who've already tried that and stalled — or who have specific complications like insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, or multi-medication interactions — personalized guidance often makes the difference between progress and frustration. The discovery call is where we figure out which one you need.
About Dr. Fitzmaurice
Dr. Michael Fitzmaurice combines two backgrounds rarely found together: a physician with over 20 years in medicine and fellowship training in peripheral nerve surgery, plus formal training in exercise physiology and cardiac rehabilitation. He is the author of Why Fat Loss Stalls After 40, a published guide to metabolic dysfunction in midlife.
His approach focuses on the upstream drivers of metabolic health — insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial function, muscle quality, and the lifestyle and nutritional factors that influence each. Most metabolic guidance comes from one expertise. His combines several.
After You Book
You'll receive an immediate booking confirmation with a Google Meet link and calendar invite. During booking, you'll answer two brief questions about your situation — so Dr. Fitzmaurice arrives prepared for your 10 minutes together.
No detailed intake form is required for the discovery call. The full intake questionnaire is only requested if you decide to schedule a paid consultation afterward.
This discovery call is an informal introductory conversation, not a clinical medical appointment. Dr. Fitzmaurice does not diagnose, prescribe, or treat any medical condition. Any discussion of nutrition, lifestyle, or supplementation is educational. Please continue working with your primary physician for medical management of any diagnosed condition.
