Sarah A. Mcnaughton is an endocrinologist based at 221 Burwood Highway, Burwood, VIC 3125. She looks after people who are dealing with hormone and metabolism issues. That can be anything from weight and blood sugar concerns to problems linked to periods and ovaries.
In many cases, Sarah helps patients who are managing obesity and weight changes over time. This includes obesity in children, where early support can make a big difference for health and day-to-day wellbeing. She also focuses on abdominal obesity, because body fat patterns around the tummy can affect how the body handles sugar and fats.
Metabolic health is a big part of her work. Sarah commonly supports people with metabolic syndrome, including issues like insulin resistance, high blood pressure and related risks. She also helps with conditions such as hypertension, and looks at the bigger picture rather than just treating one symptom.
Hormones can affect more than weight. Sarah also works with people who have ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). These conditions can show up as irregular periods, changes in skin and hair, and trouble with weight. At times, they can also connect to metabolic concerns, so care often involves checking the links between hormones and overall health.
For some families, Sarah also supports children with congenital hyperinsulinism. This is a condition where the body makes too much insulin, which can affect blood sugar levels. Having the right medical plan for the child matters, and it often needs careful follow-up.
Sarah’s approach is practical and calm. She takes time to talk through what’s happening, what the test results mean, and what options fit the situation. Hormone and metabolic problems can feel confusing, especially when symptoms change or don’t seem to match what people expect. In clinic, she aims to make things clearer and help patients feel more confident about next steps.
