Introducing Nashwa M. Wahba, DO
Medical Director of East Coast Wellness

Board Certifications: Internal Medicine, Sleep Medicine, Obesity Medicine
Current Studies: Pursuing a master’s degree in nutrition
Dr. Nashwa Wahba is a born and bred Floridian, having grown up in Daytona Beach, Florida. She received her undergraduate degree in English literature and biology from the University of Miami, Coral Gables. She then went to medical school in Kansas City, Missouri, attending Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. She subsequently completed an internal medicine residency in 2016 followed by a fellowship in sleep medicine in 2017. After returning to Daytona Beach in 2017, she joined her father at the Sleep Wake Disorder Center of Daytona, where she has been practicing sleep medicine ever since. She soon realized the undeniable and highly complex relationship between sleep and obesity, and how one inherently influences and can modulate the other. As a result, she decided to further her education by pursuing a fellowship in Obesity Medicine, pursuing a passion which is both personal for herself, but also will allow her to better serve her community and patient population. East Coast Wellness is a project that she and her team have created, and which is born out of a love for service, and a passion to truly empower and encourage patients to care for themselves and follow their own journey’s a healthier life. As Mahatma Gandhi so eloquently said, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others".

🌟Take Charge This Health Empowerment Day🌟

isn’t just another awareness day, it’s a reminder that you can take control of your health! According to healthgrades.com, nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults find managing healthcare overwhelming, but small, intentional actions can make a big difference.

At Lauren’s Hope, we believe empowerment comes from being prepared and informed. That’s why medical ID jewelry isn’t just an accessory; it’s a smart tool for peace of mind and confidence. In an emergency, it speaks for you, letting first responders and medical professionals know your vital information.

Here are some ways to take charge of your health starting today:

💡 Schedule preventive care – Book that annual checkup, vaccination, or screening you’ve been putting off.
💡 Know your options – Research treatment paths, ask questions, and consider a second opinion if you need it.
💡 Keep important info handy – Wearing a medical ID bracelet or necklace ensures your vital health info is always accessible.
💡 Track your health – Use a journal, app, or planner to log symptoms, medications, or questions for your doctor.
💡 Advocate for yourself – Don’t be afraid to speak up during appointments, your health matters.
💡 Share your story – Inspire others by talking about the steps you take to stay empowered.

Empowerment is more than awareness; it’s action. Every choice you make, no matter how small, helps you feel informed, confident, and ready for whatever comes next.

Own your health. Protect yourself. Empower your journey.
