Why I’m All In On Obesity Medicine

When I became a nurse practitioner, my goal was to focus on wellness and help people achieve lasting health—from the inside out. Working in obesity medicine allows me to do just that. I get to help patients improve or even prevent serious health conditions while also regaining confidence in themselves.

There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone rediscover who they are—watching their stress about weight fade as they begin to feel good in their own skin again. The small wins along the way are powerful, and the impact on their overall health is often life-changing. From the moment I met with Dr. Walker and Jessica Tarnawa, I saw the passion behind Options and knew I wanted to be part of it. Two years later, I’m proud to help our patients thrive every day.

Melanie Baldner, NP

Melanie combines wellness, prevention, and confidence-building in every weight loss journey.

When I decided to become a nurse practitioner, I knew I wanted to focus on wellness and helping people achieve their health goals inside and out. By treating people in their weight loss journey, we are preventing or improving many comorbid conditions and helping them gain back confidence in themselves. I felt Options embodied my mission perfectly and was a company that would continue to grow and develop— which it absolutely has over the past two years. I also saw a lot of passion in the leaders who interviewed me, and I was inspired to come on board and help as many patients as I could.
