Today we’d like to introduce you to Farrah Christian.
Hi Farrah, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Maverick Medical Care was born out of both frustration and hope. For years, I watched countless women struggle to be heard by their healthcare providers—especially when it came to their weight, hormones, and overall well-being. Too often, their concerns were dismissed with the same advice: “Just eat right and exercise.” But I knew firsthand how discouraging and ineffective that advice could feel when you’re doing everything “right” and still not seeing results.
Like so many of my patients today, I had tried nearly every weight loss medication available. Each one helped a little, but none took me all the way to where I wanted to be. It wasn’t until I discovered Wegovy that I finally achieved my goal—losing 60 pounds and transforming not just my body, but my life. That experience changed everything. I knew I couldn’t keep this journey to myself. I wanted to help other women experience the same success and freedom I had found. That’s when I decided to open Maverick Medical Care—a place where women could be truly heard, supported, and guided toward sustainable results.
But my journey didn’t stop there. As I entered a new stage of life, I began struggling with symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Once again, I was told I wasn’t a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. Yet, deep down, I knew something wasn’t right. I began researching, learning, and connecting the dots—and discovered I didn’t have to suffer in silence. Through education and functional medicine, I reclaimed my health, energy, and balance.
I realized that if I—someone with a medical background—had to fight this hard to be heard, countless other women were being dismissed too. So I expanded Maverick Medical Care to include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, empowering women to understand their bodies, advocate for themselves, and live vibrant, fulfilling lives.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road! The journey of building Maverick Medical Care has been full of challenges. Starting and growing a medical practice, especially one that dares to do things differently, is never easy. In the beginning, I faced all the usual hurdles of entrepreneurship — long hours, financial risks, and learning how to run the business side of medicine while still providing exceptional patient care. But what’s been even harder at times is navigating a healthcare system that often resists change. I had to constantly advocate not just for my patients, but for my vision — a vision that puts women’s voices, experiences, and outcomes at the center of care. It is a constant balancing act of managing expectations of myself, staff, and patients.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Maverick Medical Care?
Maverick Medical Care is a premier telehealth wellness clinic specializing in medical weight loss and hormone optimization for women. We’re known for helping women who have felt unheard or dismissed by traditional medicine finally find solutions that work — both physically and emotionally.
Our mission is simple: to listen, empower, and transform. Too many women have been told that weight loss is just about “eating less and exercising more,” or that their symptoms are “just part of getting older.” At Maverick, we know better. We take a comprehensive, root-cause approach that blends medical expertise with compassion and personalization.
We offer a wide range of services including:
Medical Weight Loss Programs featuring evidence-based medications like semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound), tailored to each patient’s needs.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to restore balance, energy, and vitality.
Functional Lab Testing to uncover the “why” behind symptoms — from gut health to cortisol and thyroid function.
Lifestyle Coaching through our GLOW Protocol (Gut, Lifestyle, Optimization, Wellness) — a structured system to help patients thrive, not just survive.
What truly sets us apart is our patient-centered approach and the real-life experience behind our care. I founded Maverick after my own journey with weight loss and hormone imbalance — I know what it feels like to be told “no” or “it’s just your age.” That’s why at Maverick, we don’t follow the crowd — we forge our own path, so our patients can too.
We’re proud to be known as a modern, compassionate, and results-driven wellness brand. Our patients trust us because we combine cutting-edge medical science with genuine empathy. Every program is designed to help women not only lose weight or balance hormones — but also reclaim confidence, joy, and quality of life.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud of what “Maverick” represents: freedom from cookie-cutter medicine. Our name symbolizes independence, boldness, and the courage to do things differently — values that run through every part of our patient experience.
If there’s one thing I want readers to know, it’s this: You deserve to be heard. You deserve personalized care. And you don’t have to settle for feeling “just okay.” At Maverick Medical Care, we help women feel vibrant, confident, and truly well again.
How do you define success?
For me, success is about freedom — the freedom to design a life and business that align with my values. Our company is 100% remote, and every member of my team is a working mother with young children. They have the flexibility to take their kids to school, attend class parties, and be present for the moments that truly matter — all while contributing meaningful, valuable work.
I’ve worked alongside many of my team members in previous roles and saw firsthand how hard they worked — and how often they were overlooked or undervalued. At Maverick Medical Care, I wanted to build something different. I wanted a culture where women are supported, trusted, and respected — where they can thrive both personally and professionally.
Now that my own children are grown, my version of freedom looks a little different. Because our business is fully remote, I can work from anywhere in the world. This past spring, I spent time in Amsterdam — exploring the tulip fields by day and working with my patients in the evenings.
To me, success means having the freedom to help others, the flexibility to live fully, and the joy of pursuing my passions — all at the same time.
