Kristine Holiday, PA-C
Founder of WeightMed
Meet Kristine, an experienced and energetic family medicine PA and founder of WeightMed. In her family medicine practice, Kristine recognized that many of her patients fought an uphill battle to lose weight. She saw that many common medical conditions, prescription medications, and tough genetics made losing weight with traditional diet and exercise methods unattainable. Witnessing the struggle these patients faced, Kristine became determined to find a better solution. Fueled by her desire to improve the health of her patients, she founded WeightMed in 2022. Utilizing highly effective weight loss medications, direct pharmacy to door delivery, and a HIPPA-compliant platform, Kristine created a virtual practice that would provide personalized and accessible weight loss solutions to her patients without ever having to step foot in an office waiting room.
