Weight Loss Program

Ashley Taylor, MSN, ARNP, FNP-C

Hi! I’m Ashley Taylor, a Family Nurse Practitioner here in Western Washington.

If you’re struggling with weight loss, I want you to know—you’re not alone. I’ve been there, too. Growing up, and even into my early adult years, staying in shape came naturally. But after I had my first child, the weight started coming on… and it didn’t come back off. After my second baby, I hit my heaviest weight, and it felt like nothing I did made a difference. I tried eating “perfect,” I tried working out more, and still—I stayed stuck.

That frustration pushed me to really dig into the why. Why is losing weight so hard for so many of us? What I learned changed the way I see everything. Obesity isn’t about being lazy or unmotivated. It’s not a personality flaw. It’s a real medical condition with real science behind it. And once you understand that, the shame starts to fall away.

Today, we’re lucky to have several anti-obesity medications that can truly help. If you’ve ever been told that being “fat” is a choice or that you just need more discipline, please hear me when I say: that’s not the whole story. Not even close.

I’ve been in your shoes, and now I’m here to help. Let’s sit down, talk about your journey, and look at the weight-loss options that might actually work for your body. You don’t have to do this alone.

I can’t wait to walk this path with you.
