About Us
Stride is comprised of healthcare providers with a special interest in weight management. Unlike a typical weight management program, which addresses diet and exercise in a short term fashion, we strive to see long term results though the pillars of nutrition, physical activity, behavior changes, and the usage of medications. A program is designed specifically for you based on your own physiology.
I’m Tory Weatherford, a board certified Emergency Medicine, Pediatric Emergency Medicine, and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine physician. While I love the practice of Emergency Medicine, the real goal of medicine should be keeping people out of the ER.
One of the most effective ways to do this is to treat excess weight. Why did I decide to do Obesity Medicine training? I get it. I have worked with personal trainers, dieticians, coaches, and anything else you can name.
Weight loss is hard. Losing weight again and again is even harder. There are over 297 illnesses directly related to obesity. My family history includes a lot of these illnesses: type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiac issues, and cancer.
I am passionate about making weight loss as practical as possible through offering
telehealth weight management services and collaborating with my clients to achieve their goal
weight.
