Weight Loss
A Whole-Person Approach to Sustainable Weight Loss
Lasting weight loss isn’t just about willpower — it’s about understanding what’s actually happening in your body and your mind. As a dual-board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, Awa Ndiaye looks beyond the scale to uncover the metabolic, hormonal, and emotional factors that make weight loss difficult, and builds a personalized plan to address them together.
Signs You May Benefit From Medical Weight Loss Support
- You’ve tried diet and exercise changes with little lasting result
- Your weight has shifted with stress, a new medication, or a hormonal change
- You experience strong cravings, emotional eating, or late-night snacking
- You’re managing a condition like PCOS, thyroid imbalance, or prediabetes
- You’re curious about medical options like GLP-1 medications, but want guidance from a provider who knows your full health picture
- You want a plan that fits your real life — not a generic diet
Our Approach
Care Built Around Your Body, Not a Generic Plan
Comprehensive Evaluation A full review of your medical history, current medications, relevant labs, and lifestyle to understand what’s actually driving your weight.
Personalized Treatment Plan Depending on your needs, this may include prescription weight-management medication, nutrition guidance, and activity recommendations.
Mind-Body Integration Stress, anxiety, and mood directly affect appetite and metabolism. Because Awa is also a psychiatric provider, she addresses the emotional side of eating alongside the physical.
Ongoing Monitoring Regular check-ins to track your progress, manage any side effects safely, and adjust your plan as your body responds.
Education, Not Judgment You’ll leave every visit understanding the “why” behind your plan, in a space free of shame or pressure.

Common Questions About Weight Loss Care
Do you prescribe weight loss medication?
Yes. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, Awa can evaluate whether prescription options, including GLP-1 medications, are appropriate for you based on your health history and goals.
Is this only for people with a lot of weight to lose?
No. We work with anyone looking to improve their metabolic health — whether that means losing a significant amount of weight or fine-tuning a stubborn 10–15 pounds.
How does mental health factor into weight loss?
Stress, anxiety, and mood changes can directly affect appetite, sleep, and motivation. Because Awa is also a psychiatric provider, she’s uniquely equipped to address these connections as part of your care.
Are visits in person or telehealth?
All visits are conducted through our secure, 100% virtual telehealth platform, so you can get care from home anywhere in Ohio.
How soon will I see results?
Timelines vary based on your starting point, treatment plan, and consistency. Awa will set realistic expectations with you at your first visit and adjust your plan as needed.
