From hiking to waterfalls and swimming in places that felt straight out of a dream, to surf lessons and long walks by the ocean… this trip filled our cups in every way.
Sydney brought a different kind of magic - meaningful work, inspiring conversations, and time with wonderful colleagues and friends. I’m especially grateful for the opportunity to spend time with my Kailera Therapeutics medical affairs and clinical development colleagues and to teach investigators and dietitians and contribute to the important work supporting patients on GLP-1 therapies in our phase 3 clinical trials on injectable ribupatide.
In between it all, we reconnected with an old friend on the Gold Coast and had the joy of meeting his family, and experienced unforgettable moments like seeing Madama Butterfly at the Sydney Opera House.
But what means the most is sharing all of this with my family - showing my kids the world, exploring together, and creating memories I know we’ll carry forever.
Feeling incredibly grateful for work that allows me to be in such meaningful spaces,
and even more grateful when I get to bring the people I love along for the adventure 🤍

Obesity is a serious, chronic disease that deserves the same rigor, compassion, and nuance as any other complex condition. Too many people have faced stigma, limited options, and fragmented care for far too long. That’s the work our team is here to help change.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked designing behavioral interventions, conducted research utilizing a variety of obesity treatments including pharmacotherapy, and dedicated my career to the study of obesity and nutrition. Most recently, I spent five years at WeightWatchers, including serving as Chief Nutrition Officer, while maintaining my role as co-Director for the Center for Integrative Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disease at the University of Florida. Stepping into Kailera feels like a natural next chapter in this journey.
One of my core values is impact. I’ve seen how powerful it can be when we combine lifestyle and behavior change with pharmacotherapy and clinical innovation.
In this role, my goal is to ensure that people living with obesity, and their perspectives, sit at the center of how we generate, interpret, and share evidence.
That means:
✅ Listening to patients and caregivers as we design research and trials
✅ Partnering with clinicians, researchers, and advocacy groups
✅ Communicating clearly and responsibly about emerging therapies
✅ Keeping lifestyle and behavior change embedded in conversations about treatment
I am thrilled to work with such an incredible team and take on this new challenge ❤️
📅 March 2–8 is Obesity Care Week
This week is a call to action to improve access to evidence-based care and to eliminate the stigma and bias that too often stand in the way of treatment.
People living with obesity deserve:
✔️ Respect
✔️ Evidence-based care
✔️ Access to comprehensive treatment options
✔️ Freedom from weight bias
As someone deeply committed to advancing rigorous science and compassionate care, I am proud to say that I am #CommittedToCare.
I invite colleagues, clinicians, researchers, and advocates to take the pledge and stand together in support of better care for all.

I’m so proud of what our team built - publishing 60+ peer-reviewed scientific papers, helping develop the first validated Food Noise Questionnaire with Pennington Biomedical Research Center, and supporting WW’s evolution into a new era with the first behavioral program designed specifically for people using GLP-1s. I had the honor of representing WW on global stages, in major media outlets, and alongside an extraordinary scientific community.
Most of all, I’m grateful for the people - the brilliant, mission-driven colleagues, the WW members who taught me so much (you all are amazing!), our scientific advisory board, and the lifelong friendships formed along the way. And yes… meeting Oprah Winfrey was nice too.
I’m excited to be stepping into a new role and can’t wait to share more soon.
Our goal isn’t perfection. It’s aiming to eat a variety of foods and cover our bases. We aim for meals with protein, fiber, & healthy fats, and we try to eat the rainbow so we’re getting in different vitamins & minerals and covering our bases. 🌈
The kids eat the same food we do (me + my husband)… just often deconstructed. Sauce on the side. Veggies separate. Everyone’s happy.
We prioritize whole, minimally processed foods when we can, but let’s be real, life happens and balance matters so that’s not always possible.
Fueling growing, active bodies while keeping food joyful. That’s the goal. ❤️🍽️
What are things you do to keep your family fed?
