Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week, I am joined by Dr. Janeeka Benoit, a double board-certified internal medicine and sports medicine physician who helps women improve their metabolic health and prevent chronic disease.

In this episode, we discuss why weight loss can become more challenging for women in their mid-30s and beyond, including changes in muscle mass, metabolism, hormones, and body composition. Dr. Benoit explains the importance of resistance training, everyday movement, sleep, and stress management, while sharing practical ways to build healthier habits without striving for perfection.

Tune in to learn how focusing on metabolic health, consistency, and sustainable lifestyle changes can help women feel stronger and healthier as they age.

Dr. Janeeka Benoit is a Double Board-Certified Internist & Sports Medicine physician and the founder of Invessel Health & Wellness.

She helps high-achieving women achieve sustainable weight loss to lower their risk of chronic disease and live longer, healthier lives.

Her approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and personal experience. Despite leading an active lifestyle, she experienced unexpected weight gain and rising cholesterol, revealing the gap between conventional weight loss advice and true metabolic health.

Today, Dr. Janeeka's mission centers on helping women achieve Less Weight. Less Risk. More Years so they can spend more of life healthy, active, and strong.
