Welcome Dr. Meg Zakarewicz to The Well!
Meg Zakarewicz is double board-certified physician of Family Medicine and Weight Management. For over ten years, she has practiced as a Family Physician before focusing towards medical weight management.
“After spending years helping patients manage chronic disease, transitioning to health promotion has been a true dream come true. My busy primary care practice did not allow the time required to help patients create the change in their lives that they desired. Transitioning into weight management and metabolic health has given me the opportunity to help my patients create real change and true lasting health.”
Read on to learn more about Dr. Meg, her experiences and education, the development of her medical weight management program, and her passion to begin practicing at The Well.
Passion for Healthy Weight Management
In 2019, Dr. Meg began developing a Medical Weight Management Practice. She engineered and implemented the weight management Program for this practice focusing on four pillars of medical weight management. The four pillars of focus include nutrition, physical activity, mindset, and medication. This program was executed with Dr. Meg’s intelligence, passion, direction and coordination, resulting in exuberant success. Thus, leading to Dr. Meg founding Collaborative Weight Loss– a comprehensive weight management solution tailored to improve metabolic efficiency and support empowered, sustainable, lifelong, weight loss.
“It has been my greatest professional joy to help patients overcome weight struggles, positively changing the course of their lives! Over 2/3 adults struggle with weight or obesity. Most weight loss strategies are designed as quick fixes that set patients up for weight regain.”
“I love educating patients on how to create meaningful change in lifestyles to lead to sustainable weight loss. Helping patients feel comfortable and confident in their own skin, learning to optimize their metabolic health, and creating lifestyles for lifelong health is the most gratifying.”
Personal + Family Life
Doctor Meg has been “married to the love of my life for over 20 years.” Together they have four children and a Pug named after Phillies All-Star 1st Baseman, Ryan Howard. In her spare time, Doctor Meg loves to attend sporting events (big Phillies Fan), and live concerts– “especially outdoor summer concerts!” She stays active through practicing yoga and running. Doctor Meg also enjoys volunteering for the Youth Ministry at her church. When asked about her favorite places to travel, Doctor Meg will quickly tell you “anywhere on the water!” But, her favorite vacation was with her family to North Captiva Island.
While Doctor Meg loves to stay active, travel, and attend events, she cannot leave the house without sunglasses and lip gloss.
