Dr Bramwell opened the Institute of Weight Management & Metabolic Medicine at Lake Mary after her frustration with her own infertility struggle and metabolic syndrome. In addition, having limited time to counsel patients and families on proper nutrition & maintaining a healthy weight became a futile cycle of disappointment. She felt follow up with patients every few months was inadequate & ineffective in making a true difference in her patients’ health & weight goals. She took the steps to change all that when she started her clinical weight loss/management practice August 27, 2013. She graduated from Howard University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, earned an MBA from Webster University during her year as Chief Resident & Junior Faculty at Arnold Palmer Hospital. She has 20 years of vast clinical experience & has served in numerous leadership roles while at Halifax Health Emergency Department & the APH Pediatric Residency Program. Almost 6 years ago, Dr. B found out she had metabolic syndrome with triglycerides >400. Determined to get her health in check, she went through this very same program, at the parent company, Orlando Institute of Weight Management & Metabolic Medicine with Dr. Allison Green. Dr. B lost 13 lbs, which she has kept off & her triglycerides have been normal ever since. She continues her personal weight management by incorporating what she learned & now teaches in her daily life. In retrospect, Dr. B realizes she had insulin resistance far longer than 6 years ago. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome while having difficulty getting pregnant with her daughter. Knowing weight management is a lifelong commitment, Dr. B eagerly helps her clients overcome these & other ailments related to insulin resistance & obesity in adults and children. Dr. B knows most people feel they should be able to reach their goals on pure will; however, the truth is, if we do not ask for help most of us will surely fail. More assured success comes with the truth about food, carbohydrates & portion size, accountability & reinforcement. Dr. B & her awesome team encourage you to ask us for help so we can educate, support, encourage & coach you to sustainable youthful health.
