Meet Dr. Caissa Troutman!
Dr. Caissa Troutman is the current Founder and Passionate Ambassador at WEIGHT reMDy. She is a Triple Board-Certified Family Medicine, Culinary Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician with over 20 years of clinical experience.
As a person who struggles with obesity herself, she has the personal experience of walking this path. As an Obesity Medicine physician, she uses a comprehensive, scientific, and an individualized approach when treating obesity. She empowers her patients who have struggled chronically with their weight to achieve their health and weight goals and become the best version of themselves through the power of Science, Behavior + Biology.
Dr. Troutman is only one of the few obesity medicine experts in the country specially trained to treat this common yet complex disease. More importantly, she is an ally to her patients that struggle with obesity and offers her expertise in navigating the confusing overwhelm of information everywhere.
As a Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist, she helps her patients by focusing on evidence-based, practical and culturally sensitive advice about issues of food, cooking and eating. She helps her patients identify, analyze and resolve these daily barriers to their health and weight goals.
Her training as a CBT-Insomnia clinician helps her teach the skills for better sleep. Dr. Troutman has seen the effect of inadequate sleep on her patient’s weight journeys. Which is why she became interested in helping them learn HOW to sleep better. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia is the first-line treatment of chronic insomnia. CBT-I focuses on learning skills that affect the thoughts, and behaviors that are contributing to insomnia.
Dr. Troutman pursued additional training with renowned menopause specialist Dr. Heather Hirsch. As a NAMS (North American Menopause Society, now known as Menopause Society) member, she keeps up to date on evidence-based treatment and best possible solutions and shares that knowledge with her Midlife patients.

Dr. Troutman’s Medical Podcast Guestings
My first medical podcast was with the amazing Dr. Heather Hirsch. She is one of the leading experts when it comes to Women’s Health and Menopause Hormone Therapy. I first met Dr. Hirsch when I took her intense training on MHT. She opened my eyes to the many myths and misinformation about MHT. Our encounter was a pivotal reason why I decided to launch Midlife reMDy.
