Physician-Founded
Meet Our Founder
MD, DABOM, IFMCP — Founder & Medical Director
Built by a doctor who saw the gap firsthand.
HMW Method was founded by Dr. Elizabeth Sharp Edens to give women more than a prescription — a physician-led system for women's health that lasts.
Her story
After years practicing obesity medicine, Dr. Sharp Edens kept seeing the same gap: women were being handed a prescription and sent home, with no real plan for the nutrition, strength training, or hormonal shifts that actually determine whether wellness or weight loss lasts.
She founded HMW Method to close that gap — building a physician-led system where medication is one tool among many, not the whole plan. Every part of the program, from meal planning to muscle-preserving exercise protocols, is designed specifically around how women's bodies change across every life stage: metabolism today, with cycle, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause support on the roadmap.
Dr. Sharp Edens is board-certified in obesity medicine (DABOM) and functional medicine (IFMCP), and also founded Health Meets Wellness, a holistic wellness practice in New York City. She leads the clinical team and personally created the supplements and wellness app that is HMW Method.
