About Me
I’m Katie, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare, including more than 7 years practicing as an NP. My background includes internal medicine, hospital-based care, and working within a psychiatric setting—giving me a deep understanding of how physical and mental health are closely connected.After years in traditional medicine, I began to see a consistent pattern: patients were being told their labs were “normal,” yet they still felt exhausted, foggy, and frustrated. Medications were often added, but the root cause was rarely addressed. That realization shifted the trajectory of my career.That’s why I founded Novaleo Weight and Wellness—a telehealth-based, functional medicine practice designed for adults who want answers, not just prescriptions. I specialize in helping high-performing women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are struggling with fatigue, brain fog, hormone imbalance, and weight resistance—despite doing “everything right.”My approach focuses on identifying and correcting the underlying drivers of dysfunction—whether that’s metabolic imbalance, stress physiology, sleep disruption, gut health, or hormonal shifts. I look at how these systems interact, because when they’re out of sync, the body will resist change no matter how hard someone tries.I believe healing requires more than quick visits and surface-level solutions. It requires time, listening, pattern recognition, and a personalized plan built around each individual’s biology and lifestyle. I combine functional lab interpretation with targeted nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and—when appropriate—medical support to create sustainable, long-term results.At Novaleo Weight and Wellness, the goal isn’t just to help you feel a little better—it’s to help you regain your energy, think clearly, and feel in control of your health again.Because aging is inevitable—but decline is optional.
