Asheville Gynecology & Wellness has created an individualized wellness program to meet your needs. Wellness Weigh^™ incorporates several different approaches including an introduction to mindfulness, breathing and relaxation strategies for stress reduction, acupuncture, menu planning, and nutrition education and concepts based on the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) Food For Life programs.  Food For Life is an evidenced-based approach to nutrition developed by the  PCRM. It provides participants with tools for reversing disease that in the process typically leads to weight loss.

With your participation in the Wellness Weigh^™ program, you will have the support you need to be successful in achieving your goals. There are weekly appointments, membership in a closed Facebook group intended for Food For Life participants and graduates of Asheville Gynecology & Wellness’s teaching programs, and occasional gatherings with other people at various stages in their own changes and transitions to healthier lifestyles.
