I Am Dr. Hellena
You deserve to feel your best. And you don't have to wait any longer.
I'm Dr. Hellena, and I understand the frustration of struggling with weight when it feels like you've tried everything. As a board-certified physician, I've helped women reclaim their health and confidence through a comprehensive, medication-assisted approach.
Your Journey to Wellness Starts Here
Many of my patients come to me after years of yo-yo dieting and growing increasingly concerned about their health. They often tell me, "I wish I hadn't waited so long to get help."
The truth is, for many adults—especially women over 35—weight gain isn't just about willpower. Your body's insulin response and hormonal changes can make traditional weight loss methods ineffective, leaving you feeling defeated and discouraged. We’ve developed a compassionate,
physician-supervised, holistic approach with judicious use of medications as indicated.
We ensure that our medications are sourced through a FDA monitored and accredited pharmacy with competitive pricing which remains the same no matter the dosing and free shipping.
A Different Approach for Lasting Results
My comprehensive program combines:
Medical Evaluation: Personalized assessment to determine if GLP-1/GIP medications are right for you
Monthly One-on-One Support: Direct access to me for adjustments and guidance
Comprehensive Online Course: Gain insights into the science behind your weight and learn practical strategies for lasting change.
Weekly Group Coaching: Connect with others on the same journey
While weight loss medications can be transformative, they're most effective when paired with the right support system and lifestyle modification. That's why my patients succeed where others struggle.
Why Now Matters
Your health can't wait. Each day with unaddressed insulin resistance and excess weight increases your risk for serious health conditions. But more importantly, it's another day you're not living your fullest life.
My patients often share:
"I finally have energy to play with my grandchildren"
"I can't believe how much better I sleep"
"For the first time in decades, I feel in control of my health"
