Abundant Health & Vitality Associates

Informations générales

Dr Covington is a board certified internal medicine physician and obesity specialist. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine and specializes in obesity and medical weight management. She has firsthand experience with weight loss having lost 80 lbs with diet and exercise. She knows first hand that weight loss is not easy and "1 size does not fit all". She understands the battle between fighting cravings, taming stubborn physiology,and the struggle to make healthy choices everyday. She knows that none of her patients "want" to be unhealthy or gain weight but there are several factors that make losing weight easier said than done.

Dr. Covington chose to specialize in obesity management after seeing that a great deal of adult chronic diseases were impacted by excess weight. She noticed that for her diabetic and hypertensive patients who lost weight, not only did their health and quality of life improve, but their medications decreased.

While working exclusively in the weight management field Dr Covington noticed that medical professionals were an abandoned treatment group. Often stressed, fatigue, and overworked, they had several risk factors for weight accumulation but had a hard time finding professionals qualified to cater to their needs. It''s no wonder that up to 50% of medical professionals are overweight or obese. Unfortunately weight loss clinics have become commercialized and as a result personalized, safe, effective, evidence based weight management is hard to find.

Dr. Covington sees a variety of patients, a medical career is not a requirement to become a patient. Abundant Health & Vitality Associates was created to provide high quality medical weight management for everyone but to especially provide a welcoming environment for the medical provider.
We are the first and only weight management clinic in the world designed especially for medical professionals!
