Medical Director
JourneyLite
Hi, I’m Dr. Trace Curry! I grew up in Cincinnati. I’m a real person and I’ve been doing this a long time. Since the beginning of modern medicine, nobody cared about obesity. Doctors told patients to just go home, eat less, and exercise more. Then all off a sudden, after a hundred years of this attitude, we had these weight loss injections appear, and everybody got interested in weight loss because they could make easy money. Plastic surgeons, chiropractors, family doctors–all who have no expertise and had no interest in helping overweight patients–until the saw the easy money. At JourneyLite, we are weight loss experts and have been helping patients lose weight since 2003. And we do it all-medications, surgery, gastric balloon, you name it!
Why would you want to trust your weight loss to an online service that only offers one type of treatment. How do you know that is the best option for you? Is your doctor real or AI? How would you know? We are real people at JourneyLite, and we all live in Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana. Below are some of the many inspiring stories of our patients, and there are thousands more.
If you think we can help you just fill out a no-obligation appointment request and one of our actual real live program coordinators will call you to discuss all of your options and you can have a free virtual consultation to figure out what is best for you!
