www.RitaBrewer.com From a young age, I knew I was called to a career in medicine.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the State University of New York at Geneseo and completed my Physician Assistant training at Cornell University Medical College. I bring over 34 years of clinical experience in obesity medicine, surgical specialties, conventional medicine, integrative care, and functional medicine. Throughout my career, I treated the most severe complications of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, including non-healing ulcers, vascular disease requiring bypass surgery, chronic wound infections, amputations, strokes, dementia, and heart attacks. I cared for patients who were blind, on dialysis, or living with diabetes-related amputations. These experiences permanently shaped my approach to healthcare. Over time, I came to a sobering realization: much of this suffering was preventable. Patients were rarely taught how to improve metabolic health, address insulin resistance, or use food and lifestyle as powerful medical tools. This realization led me to become board certified in Lifestyle Medicine and dedicate my career to addressing the root causes of chronic disease rather than simply managing symptoms. I have since witnessed, repeatedly and firsthand, how evidence-based lifestyle interventions can help reverse or dramatically improve type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, and other chronic metabolic disorders. Because lifestyle-based, root-cause care is often missing from conventional healthcare, I opened my own clinic to support patients with chronic metabolic conditions through comprehensive Lifestyle, Obesity, and Functional Medicine. My clinic serves patients in Raleigh, North Carolina, and via telemedicine for patients across North Carolina, offering a personalized and supportive approach to long-term metabolic health. Each patient receives an individualized care plan that may include nutrition therapy, physical activity guidance, sleep optimization, stress management, behavior change coaching, lab testing and medical therapy when indicated. I use tools such as continuous glucose monitoring to provide real-time insight and data-driven personalization, empowering patients to understand how their body responds to food, movement, stress, and sleep. When appropriate, I also support patients using GLP-1 medications and other anti obesity medications as part of a comprehensive metabolic health strategy, always emphasizing sustainable lifestyle change and long-term success. My treatment plans improves insulin sensitivity, reduce medication dependence when appropriate, achieve sustainable weight loss, and restore energy and vitality. My mission is to educate, equip, and empower patients to reclaim their health and live free from preventable chronic disease. It would be my honor and privilege to partner with you on your journey to optimal metabolic health.

Happy New Year!
The new 2026 Dietary Guidelines for Americans have officially been released—and they represent one of the most meaningful shifts in U.S. nutrition policy in decades.
Here’s a brief summary of what’s changed and why it matters for your metabolic health:
1. Protein is prioritized
The new guidelines recommend significantly more protein—about 1.2–1.6 g/kg of body weight per day—from whole, real foods like eggs, poultry, seafood, and red meat. This supports muscle mass, blood sugar control, and metabolic health.
2. Healthy fats are no longer the enemy
Full-fat dairy and traditional cooking fats like olive oil and butter are emphasized. Fats are no longer grouped with sugar, reflecting growing evidence that healthy fats support—not harm—metabolic and cardiovascular health.
3. Added sugar is strongly discouraged
The guidelines state that no amount of added sugar or artificial sweeteners is recommended. Children are advised to consume none at all, and adults are encouraged to keep intake extremely low.
4. Grains are de-emphasized
Grain recommendations have been reduced by up to 80%. Instead of being the foundation of the diet, grains are optional and best consumed in traditionally prepared forms like oats or sourdough.
What’s still missing....
While these guidelines are a major step forward, there’s still room for improvement—particularly clearer limits on alcohol, a formal definition of ultra-processed foods, and the removal of outdated limits on saturated fat.
You can review the details at https://lnkd.in/en3tcRun
Overall, this is a welcome shift toward whole, real, metabolically supportive nutrition—and a framework I already use with patients and clients.
If you’d like help translating these guidelines into a personalized plan that supports weight loss, blood sugar control, and long-term health, I’d be happy to help.
