“Your health is more than your outside appearance. Our goal is for you to see results that make you healthier, happier, and lighter.”

Whether our patients want to lose hundreds of pounds or just a few, our comprehensive approach helps each person establish long-term goals, and break free from the yo-yo dieting cycle for good.

Obesity contributes to heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and certain cancers. Since 1999, obesity rates have climbed from roughly 30% to over 40%, with diabetes and pre-diabetes risk approaching 50%. We treat weight as a medical issue, not a willpower issue.

Founded in June 2014 by owner Leslie Ellison, Weigh to Wellness brings together board-certified physicians, registered dietitians, and nutritionists under one roof, with meal replacements, injections, and prescription medication available as part of a fully supervised plan.
