Our Medical staff

Alisa Frierson is a board-certified nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience in healthcare and a specialized background in medical weight management, nutrition, and metabolic health. In addition to her advanced nursing degree, Alisa holds a Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine, giving her a unique perspective on the complex factors that influence weight, metabolism, and overall health.

Alisa understands that successful weight loss is rarely as simple as eating less and exercising more. She takes a personalized, whole-person approach to weight management, considering factors such as nutrition, hormones, metabolic health, lifestyle, sleep, stress, and individual health history when helping patients work toward their goals.

Her goal is to combine evidence-based medical weight-loss treatments with practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies that patients can realistically incorporate into their lives. She is passionate about helping patients not only lose weight, but also develop sustainable habits that support long-term health and well-being.

Patients describe Alisa as approachable, thorough, and easy to talk to. She strives to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard and supported throughout their weight-loss journey.

Outside of work, Alisa enjoys spending time with her family, being outdoors, and continuing to expand her knowledge as a lifelong learner.
