DR. TANESHA HANDY LLOYD, MD
Hi, I'm Dr. Handy Lloyd.
And I work in the gap.
THE STORY
I am a physician and the founder of Wellness by Design, MD in Chicago. I created the Metabolic Snapshot™ and Reset Rx™ — programs designed to help people understand what their body is actually doing, so they can finally understand why this is happening and exactly what to do about it.
I am a founding member of the groundbreaking perimenopause and female longevity platform, respin, by Halle Berry — deeply committed to ensuring women have access to real science-backed resources, and to physician-led care that aligns perfectly with where they are.
I work primarily with adults in midlife whose bodies have changed over time — and who are frustrated that generic plans no longer work. In midlife, shifting hormones often amplify the pattern. But this is not aging. This is not inevitability. This is metabolic dysfunction — and it is measurable, addressable, and very possibly reversible. This is exactly what Reset Rx™ was built for.
At Wellness by Design, MD we do not estimate metabolism. We measure it. That data becomes a precise, sequenced, physician-prescribed protocol — built around your physiology, not a population average.
Ask me how I know.
Collaboration
I was honored to collaborate with Halle Berry on the Pendulum campaign — spotlighting gut health as a key to midlife metabolism and vitality. Stories like hers bring full-circle purpose to the work I do every day.
respin exists because the standard of care for women in midlife has been insufficient for too long. I am proud to be part of changing that — both nationally and through every patient I see.
“Start with your Reset Rx Team — a physician who understands your metabolic and hormonal picture — and let real answers for your Reset Season begin.”

the practice.
- HOW I PRACTICE -
“Measurement first. Meaning second. And always — in partnership with the physicians who know you best.”
Dr. Tanesha Handy Lloyd, MD · Wellness by Design, MD
Conventional medicine is not the enemy. It is the foundation.
Every patient in a Reset Rx™ program is required to have a primary care physician. I actively collaborate with referring providers when clinically appropriate and welcome the opportunity to communicate with your care team directly. The goal is never to pull you away from conventional medicine. It is to give you the precise, data-driven metabolic foundation that makes everything else work better.
What I offer at Wellness by Design, MD is not a replacement for your primary care physician. It is a complement to the care you are already receiving. My programs are designed to work alongside your existing medical team — filling the gap that conventional medicine, by design and by time constraints, cannot always address.
I deeply value conventional medicine. My training is rooted in it. My 20+ years of primary care practice were built on it. The diagnostic rigor, the evidence base, the standard of care that keeps patients safe — these are not things I work around. They are things I work from.
If your physician has told you your labs are normal but you still feel off — that is not a reason to distrust your doctor. It is a reason to go deeper. That is exactly what we do here.
YOUR FIRST STEP OUT OF THE GAP
