Dawn M. Adams, MSN, ANP, CHC, is a nationally board certified licensed nurse practitioner and certified health counselor, with more than 25 years of experience in the health care field.

Earlier in her career, Dawn worked with surgical weight loss patients, pioneering the most minimally invasive options with the surgeons in her area. As the demand for weight loss surgery exploded, Dawn's enthusiasm for it waned.

She eventually became disillusioned with the "quick‐fix" attitude of the health care industry at large. Having fought her own battles with weight, Dawn understood that surgery wouldn't fix the underlying issues that plagued her patients and private clients.

Determined to find a better answer, Dawn turned to integrative health care, a holistic approach that focuses on the body, mind, and spirit. In 2008, Dawn graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and received her certification as a health counselor from the Teacher's College at Columbia University.
