Leah W. Love

Complete Midlife Wellness Center is a Houston practice founded in 2020 that sees only midlife women, across three offices and by video. Leah Love is one of its two physicians and is listed as the practice gynecologist, with eight nurse practitioners and two nurses making up the rest of the care team. Most of her career was in academic medicine, where she won awards for teaching, leadership and research, and she says she grew tired of putting a band-aid on illness that was preventable. She writes openly about food as medicine, including how she became anemic in college eating cheap processed food and fixed it by changing what she ate rather than by taking iron. Hormone care starts on one of two set routes, a shorter visit with a limited blood panel or a longer visit with a fuller panel and a follow-up visit built in. The practice names her for its unhurried 30 minute annual wellness exam, which it offers to existing patients only.
