Meet Dr. Gaby Buller

For more than fifteen years, I cared for patients in one of Louisiana’s busiest academic emergency departments. Every shift, I treated serious illness one diagnosis at a time.

As I entered my forties, I noticed something had changed. The long shifts that I had managed for years suddenly felt different. I was more tired than I had ever been, my sleep had changed, my weight was becoming more difficult to manage, I had unexplained joint pain, and I simply didn’t feel like myself. Like many women, I assumed these changes were just part of getting older.

As both a physician and a patient, I wanted to understand why.

As I talked with my sisters, friends, and patients, I realized I wasn’t alone. Many women were asking the same questions and struggling to find care that connected all of the pieces.

The more I learned, the more I realized that the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause are often at the center of what women experience during midlife. They influence sleep, metabolism, body composition, energy, mood, and cardiovascular health. But hormones don’t work in isolation. Nutrition, physical activity, stress, sleep, and other lifestyle factors influence hormones in return.

That realization changed the course of my career. I pursued advanced training in evidence-based menopause care and hormone therapy, obesity medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine because I wanted to better understand the science behind midlife health. It became clear to me that helping women feel their best requires bringing these pieces together through thoughtful, evidence-based care—not treating them as separate problems.

That journey ultimately led me to found The Midlife Renewal.

Today, my practice brings together hormone therapy, metabolic health, and Lifestyle Medicine to help women navigate perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging with individualized, evidence-based care. My goal is simple: to help you feel better today while improving your long-term health for years to come.
