Dr. Jumana Al-Deek, DO

After years in practice, I kept seeing the same story across women of every age — whether they were in their thirties trying to lose stubborn weight, recovering after a baby, or moving through perimenopause and menopause. They arrived exhausted, foggy, not sleeping, losing strength, frustrated by a scale that wouldn't budge — and each symptom was met with a quick visit and a prescription while no one connected the dots. But these were never separate problems; they were one body asking for help in different ways. Hormones, metabolism, muscle, sleep, and stress are deeply interconnected, and my patients didn't want another rushed refill — they wanted to be understood and given a plan for their whole body. So I co-founded MedMethod Direct, a modern telehealth practice focused on evidence-based menopause care, metabolic health, hormone therapy, and medical weight management for women in midlife and beyond. Whether the goal is losing weight in your thirties or feeling strong through menopause, we build the full support package you actually need — not just a prescription and a quick visit. Because feeling great in your own body is the key to everything else.

Following residency, Dr. Al-Deek entered private practice focused on comprehensive primary care, preventive medicine, women's health, and chronic disease management. She pursued advanced training through The Menopause Society in menopause care, hormone optimization, metabolic health, medical weight management, muscle health, and healthy aging.

Completed Family Medicine residency at AdventHealth Winter Park with comprehensive training in primary care, preventive medicine, chronic disease management, and women's health.

Earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine.

Completed a Master of Science degree at Georgetown University.

Before pursuing medicine, Dr. Al-Deek helped co-found an in-home personal training company that later rebranded as Send Me a Trainer, growing into one of the world's largest in-home and virtual personal training franchise systems — often described as 'the Uber for personal training.' She also worked as a personal trainer certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Her background in fitness, coaching, and exercise science continues to shape her medical philosophy today, with a strong emphasis on muscle preservation, metabolic health, sustainable lifestyle interventions, accountability, and long-term health optimization.
