I’m Betty Githuku, a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in medical weight loss. My comprehensive approach to weight loss merges physical well-being with emotional resilience, offering a well-rounded perspective on health.

With over a decade of diverse healthcare experience, I have witnessed the multifaceted challenges individuals face in their weight loss journeys. My extensive background in various healthcare settings has equipped me to understand and address these challenges effectively.

I have significant experience with the GLP-1 class of weight loss medications, including widely recognized options like semaglutide, Wegovy®, Zepbound™ (tirzepatide). I was among the first to prescribe Semaglutide in Maryland following its FDA approval for weight loss in 2021. My experience with GLP-1 medications dates back to 2017 when I began treating patients with Saxenda® , one of the older medications in this class. This early exposure has given me a deep understanding of these treatments, allowing me to manage side effects and guide patients through their weight loss journey effectively.

I firmly believe that weight loss is more than just a physical transformation; it’s a personal journey that requires a deep understanding of both willpower and biology. Every patient I meet is unique, and I tailor my approach to align with their individual dreams, goals, and preferences.

If you’re seeking a practitioner who offers genuine empathy, prioritizes your well-being, and provides holistic, personalized care, I am here for you. With me as your partner, you’ll embark on a sustainable weight loss journey, emphasizing lasting lifestyle changes and receiving continuous support and guidance.

Choose me for a journey towards a healthier, happier, and more empowered you.
