Our multi-disciplinary team at DiabesityMD is led by our medical director Dr. Blair who has over 15 years of experience in healthcare. Dr. Blair received her Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins and her MD from St. George’s University School of Medicine. She is board certified in both Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine, is fellowship trained in Diabetology and completed Harvard’s certification in Culinary Coaching.

I am a Holistic Health Practitioner with a Master of Nutrition degree from NC State and am Triple Board Certified in: Holistic Nutrition®, Lifestyle Medicine and as a National Health & Wellness Coach. The latter credential ultimately helps facilitate the behavioral/lifestyle changes my clients are seeking. Being diagnosed with Celiac Disease as a child in 1986, food and health have been a big part of my life. This was the impetus for my work to help others attempt to live their healthiest and best lives through food and nutrition.

I worked in the food service industry for more than 20 years. I’ve worked in restaurants, as a nutritional consultant, catering, a five-star hotel and owned the first gluten free bakery in my area. My husband is a Chef with a degree from Louisiana Culinary Institute. We frequently work together with clients to combine our two skills in hopes of helping our clients more efficiently and effectively incorporate long lasting life changes for overall health.

I typically have clients come to me after they have tried most, or all of the Allopathic avenues presented to them, with little to no avail. Working with a client’s current medical team to best serve them is my preference. Between my areas of expertise, and that of their existing team, the hope is to work together to give the client back their power to live their highest and best life, despite whatever their medical diagnosis may be.
