Our approach

At Olive Tree Weight Loss and Wellness, we use a holistic and comprehensive approach to obesity medicine. We understand that weight management is not just about willpower—it’s about biology, behavior, and environment. Our goal is to empower you to build healthy habits that are sustainable. We focus on the root causes of weight gain, and use evidence-based tools such as lifestyle counseling, nutrition planning, behavioral strategies, and medications if needed. Every patient is unique, so each treatment plan is tailored to meet your needs. Our physician-led clinic combines the latest medical expertise with compassionate support and the convenience of telemedicine to help you be successful on your weight loss journey.

Hi! I’m Dr Nicole Merli

I started Olive Tree Weight Loss and Wellness to challenge the status quo of patient care. Have you ever sought advice from your healthcare provider on losing weight, only to be told to “eat less and move more.” Or go on the internet and feel overwhelmed by the amount of information out there on different diets and trends? Sometimes it can be hard to know where to start or what to try. As someone who has gone through 3 postpartum weight loss journeys, I have been there myself. It can be easy to feel stuck, but don’t be discouraged! It is never too late turn over a new leaf and take control of your health. Even small amounts of weight loss and lifestyle changes can have tremendous benefits. I am here to partner with you on your weight loss journey.
