In the United States, it is estimated that by 2030 more than 50% of the population will be obese.

Like many medical conditions, obesity has no borders and does not discriminate. Obesity affects families, communities and many generations. In the last 40 years, the medical community has learned a great deal about metabolism and the effects of adipose cells. I now know that obesity is not just a matter of appearance, but can have serious health consequences. We are constantly learning and understanding that there are not only environmental factors that affect one's weight, but also genetics and physiological causes. This is why I truly believe in a multifaceted and individualized approach to obesity and metabolism. 

My goal is to educate not only individuals who struggle with their weight, but also the community. Carrying extra weight can lead to increased risk of heart disease, inflammation, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer to name a few. It can also affect one's mental health.

If you struggle with your weight and/or your eating habits, I promise you that you're not alone. The first step towards reclaiming your health is to understand that I am here for you and will be your #1 cheerleader through your journey. I am dedicated to providing a supportive and compassionate environment where you can embark on your journey to wellness. I understand how difficult it can be to manage your weight and the food decisions that are constantly presented in our daily lives. I am here to guide you through your journey.

I provide an individualized weight loss program that is tailored to your unique needs and goals. I am fellowship trained from the University of Florida's Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism and am dedicated to combining evidence-based strategies with personalized care to assist you with achieving sustainable weight loss and improved overall health.

I believe in a multifaceted approach that includes medical assessments, nutritional guidance, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing support, to give you the tools to take control of your well-being. We have helped patients reach their personal weight goals and reverse chronic diseases.
