In providing what my patients and clients need, I don’t ask for permission and I have never needed to ask for forgiveness

I became the doctor I needed when I needed one most.

I lost over 110 pounds. I reversed my insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes. I survived a high-mortality, pregnancy-related heart condition (postpartum cardiomyopathy). The dismissiveness, shame, and shortcut culture I encountered along the way is exactly why I built TOTAL Weight Care Institute® to replace the shame-to-change model too often encountered in wellness and weight care spaces.

In a nutshell, I became the doctor that I needed when I needed one most.
