    Hi, I am Dr. Andrea Johnson

    And Here’s a Glimpse of My Journey to Weight Loss and How it Started
    Growing up, I was active and enjoyed outdoor activities like hiking, mountaineering, and rafting. However, medical school and residency brought significant changes to my lifestyle. The stress and lack of time for physical activity led to weight gain, marking the beginning of my own struggles with weight management.
    As a physician, I understood the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and being a role model for my patients. Yet, I found myself battling food cravings, stress eating, and injuries that hindered my ability to exercise.
    A Turning Point
    In 2021, I reached my highest weight, falling into the category of moderate obesity. Despite my efforts over the year to lose weight, I only managed to shed 15 pounds before a back injury halted my progress. Feeling discouraged, I regained the weight I had lost.

    My Mission
    Motivated by my own experience and the potential of this medication, I opened a medical weight loss practice dedicated to helping others achieve their health goals. I believe that with the right support and resources, anyone can transform their life.
    Every individual’s journey is different. Together, we can create a personalized plan that works for you.
