Dr. Stacy BlecherM.D.

Dr. Blecher focuses on metabolic health, perimenopause and menopause, hormonal imbalance, weight management, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease prevention, and sexual health. She also manages chronic conditions including diabetes, osteoporosis prevention, sleep disorders, and recurrent UTIs. Her training in internal medicine gives her a broad foundation, and her clinical focus centers on catching and reversing problems before they escalate.

Dr. Blecher combines lifestyle medicine with evidence-based pharmaceuticals and targeted therapies. She draws on nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, hormone replacement therapy, peptides, and GLP-1 medications. Her goal is to help patients reach their optimal state of health rather than simply land within a normal lab range. Every plan she builds is individualized to the patient in front of her.

She evaluates hormonal shifts that affect energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, body composition, and cardiovascular risk.

Dr. Blecher frames weight management as body recomposition rather than a number on a scale. She uses DEXA technology to track skeletal muscle mass and visceral fat, not just overall weight. Her programs combine MD-led nutritional protocols, prescriptive exercise, and, when appropriate, compounded GLP-1 medications. Health coaching and personal training sessions round out the program.

Yes. Dr. Blecher offers compounded GLP-1 medications to eligible patients at wholesale cost. She manages these medications as part of a broader metabolic health plan that includes nutrition, exercise, and ongoing body composition monitoring.

Dr. Blecher schedules initial visits for a full 60 minutes. She listens to the patient's full story before building a plan. Follow-up visits can take place in the office, via telehealth, outdoors on a walk, or in the on-site gym. She believes that practicing healthy behaviors during appointments reinforces them in daily life.

Dr. Blecher sees adults, with a particular focus on women in midlife navigating perimenopause, metabolic changes, and related health concerns. She also works with patients managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Her practice does not serve pediatric patients.

Yes. Dr. Blecher spent more than a decade in inpatient internal medicine at one of Charleston's major hospitals. She cared for some of the most acutely ill patients in the state.
