Bio
Dr. Jada Moore-Ruffin is a black bariatric medicine doctor and family physician in Atlanta, GA.
After 20 years as a Primary Care Physician, I saw too often that many of the issues faced by my patients were preventable. That sparked my second specialty in bariatric medicine, my focus on metabolism and hormone therapies, and the holistic approach. Now that nearly half of Americans are not just overweight, but obese, a concentration on weight management is my core strategy for getting to the root of other health issues that my patients face. Recognizing that the psychological effects of stress, shame, guilt and judgment around obesity were just as significant as food and exercise, I also became a certified Abundant Life Path Coach, so I could help more people regain control of their lives and guide them to success on every level. My passion is helping women (and men, too) to look better, feel healthy and live their best lives possible!
