Hi, I’m Kristal
Let’s Take the First Step Together
Your journey to lasting weight loss in Gahanna, OH starts here — with Kristal Howell, FNP-C, a board-certified expert in obesity medicine who combines advanced therapies with personalized care to help you lose weight and keep it off.

Why I’m All In On Obesity Medicine
Preventative care has always been my passion. When Options Medical Weight Loss reached out, I immediately saw a company aligned with my mission—to help people get real results and live healthier, fuller lives.
Obesity is often misunderstood. It’s not just about diet or willpower—it’s rooted in deeper physiological, emotional, and behavioral factors. At Options, I get to combine evidence-based strategies with compassionate support to help patients understand these root causes, make sustainable changes, and reclaim their health.
It’s incredibly rewarding when everything clicks for a patient—when better sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress reduction all come together. That’s when real transformation happens, and it’s a joy to be part of it.
