Women of 280: Leslie Ellison - Weigh to Wellness

Leslie Ellison is passionate about empowering people. In fact, it is the cornerstone of her business, Weigh to Wellness. Their mission is to partner with each patient to develop a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s individual needs, focusing on weight loss and reducing the health risks associated with obesity. Whether a patient wants to lose several hundred pounds or just a few, this comprehensive approach will help them to establish long-term goals avoiding endless cycles of yo-yo dieting by offering free lifetime maintenance.    

Weigh to Wellness provides patients with strong support while equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to achieve life changing results. The experienced staff treats everyone as if they are their only patient, by reaching into their personal lives. What works for one patient may not work for another. To meet such varied needs, the program includes nutritional guidance and meal planning by registered dietitians as well as the option of meal replacements, protein supplements and prescription medications. Lipotropic and B12 injections are also available to increase energy safely and enhance weight loss.

Ellison, who has more than 20 years of experience with working in the medical weight management field, decided to open her own clinic in June of 2014. Her first year in business has proven to be a success, celebrating 10,000 pounds lost!
