Hello
I am Dr. Angela Jones. I am a Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice, and a Certified Health Coach.
I help patients achieve health and weight goals by teaching healthy behaviors, lifestyle changes, and effective, sustainable weight loss.
I believe in health at every size and the uniqueness of each individual.
My goal is to help each patient find their healthy.
My Story
I have been a practicing Nurse Practitioner since 2003, primarily in family practice. During my many years of practice, I struggled to successfully help my patients with their weight concerns. I was not alone. This is a concern that is largely ignored in the healthcare community despite the health costs associated with weight gain.
Increased weight is one of the major causes of many health problems: diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, knee pain, depression, cancer, infertility...just to name a few.
There is no one measuring tool to determine what weight is best for everyone. As a professional, I approach weight management as a health benefit while my patient's set their individual weight goals. I believe "healthy" comes in many sizes.
Our weight is impacted by many factors: genetics, environment, health issues, and behaviors. Because there are so many contributors to weight gain, it makes for a difficult battle without proper guidance.
Understanding what aspect of our weight we can control is the first step in regaining our life back and becoming healthy and happy.
Finding a qualified professional who can help you with your weight loss efforts is key to sustaining a healthy lifestyle and weight.
In 2016, I focused my practice on helping others with weight control and disordered eating. Since, I have earned my Doctorate in Nursing along with becoming a Certified Health Coach. Today, I practice full time in Weight Management.
I practice in NE Arkansas and offer online services for those who live out of state.
