Metabolism and Obesity

In the United States, it is estimated that by 2030 more than 50% of the population will be obese.


Like majority of medical conditions, obesity has no borders. It affects families, communities and many generations. In the last 40 years, the medical community has learned a great deal about metabolism. We now know that obesity is not just a matter of appearance. There are not only environmental factors that affect one’s weight, but also genetics and physiological causes. By learning to understand obesity, we are also learning that there are significant health risks associated with obesity. This is why Dr. Lee truly believes in a multifaceted and individualized approach to obesity and metabolism.


Dr. Lee’s goal is to educate not only individuals who struggle with their weight, but also the community. Carrying extra weight can lead to increased risk of heart disease, inflammation, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer to name a few. It can also affect one’s mental health.


If you struggle with your weight and/or your eating habits, you are not alone. The first step towards reclaiming your health is to understand that Dr. Lee is here for you and will be your #1 cheerleader with your journey. She is dedicated to providing a supportive and compassionate environment where you can embark on your journey to wellness. She understands how difficult it can be to manage your weight and the food decisions that are constantly presented in our daily lives. She is here to guide you through your journey.


She provides an individualized weight loss program that is tailored to your unique needs and goals. She is fellowship trained from the University of Florida’s Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism and is dedicated to combining evidence-based strategies with personalized care to assist you with achieving sustainable weight loss and improved overall health.


She believes in a multifaceted approach that includes medical assessments, nutritional guidance, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing support, to give you the tools to take control of your well-being.
