What to Expect During Your First Visit
Duration: 60-90 Minutes
Your journey begins with an in-depth initial visit with Kelsey Abraham, PA-C. During this comprehensive consultation, she will conduct a thorough evaluation of your health, review your personal and family medical histories, review prior laboratory tests, discuss your weight loss goals, and partner with you to create a personalized treatment plan that is tailored specifically to you. She will answer any questions you may have and will discuss the logistics of getting you started.This initial visit creates the foundation for your success and sets you on the path towards a healthier you. After meeting with Kelsey, she will send you your welcome packet in the mail (or give this to you in-person), which includes patient education handouts, nutrition and exercise guidance, grocery lists, and more!
If you schedule your first visit in-person, you will also have a full body composition analysis assessment done, which is included in our weight loss program.
At Northern Pines Wellness we take a whole-body approach to weight loss and optimizing your metabolic health that focuses on many components, not just nutrition and exercise. We will discuss recommended labs and can order them for you (at the wholesale cost) if you have not had labs done within the past 1 year.
What to Expect During Your Second Visit
Duration: 30 Minutes
Our second visit together often occurs about 1-2 weeks after your initial visit. This gives us time to order lab work (if needed) and review those results with you. We will then review your medication options with you (if applicable), including potential risks, benefits, side effects of medication, and how to administer your medication.
We will dive deeper into sustainable lifestyle adjustments and ways to live a happier, healthier life! Feel confident on your journey knowing that you have a partner along the way who is cheering you on!

Cheering You On Throughout Your Weight Loss Journey
Kelsey Abraham, PA-C will be with you throughout your entire weight loss journey. During her 5+ years seeing patients in Family Medicine, she found her passion—helping her patients lose weight, keep the weight off, while becoming the healthiest version of themselves!
Kelsey would often see patients come to her who were on several medications for chronic diseases: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes/diabetes, and more. Once the root cause of these diseases is addressed (usually excess weight), Kelsey can work with her patients to safely discontinue these medications (or at least be able to lower the dose).
