Using her unique approach, she can assist patients who are prescribed drugs for weight loss, as well as those using medications to address insulin resistance, such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus, to achieve their desired goals and also maintain them after the use of these medications. Julie Zweig Integrative Sleep & ENT Clinic believes that continuing a healthy lifestyle is crucial, even after patients stop using weight loss drugs or insulin resistance medications. Ms. Ellis' guidance empowers patients to continue their journey towards improved health and wellness, ensuring the long-term benefits of these medications are sustained. Mimi Ellis started her healthcare career in 1993 as a registered dietitian, then continued to become a physician assistant (PA).
