HEALTHCARE

crafted for women,
always just text away.

​Are you managing a busy life, a demanding career, and family responsibilities—all while navigating weight changes, hormonal shifts, or stress? You deserve a doctor who understands your unique needs and is always just a text away.

With over a decade of experience as a Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine Physician, as well as a Certified Menopause Practitioner, Dr. Shayla Toombs-Withers believes in empowering women through personalized, evidence-based care. Her goal is to help you prevent and manage chronic conditions by addressing the root causes—whether it’s your nutrition, hormones, stress, sleep or physical activity.​​

Patient Testimonial

"I am so happy we chose Dr. Toombs-Withers as our physician. Not only is she a great physician, but the Direct Primary Care model fits our lifestyle very well. Appointments at Essence of Health Wellness are in a relaxed and caring atmosphere. Dr. Toombs-Withers is a great listener and addresses all of my concerns. I've never felt rushed through an appointment, and each exam is thorough.

 

As a mom with young children, things come up and I love that I consult Dr. Toombs-Withers with my concerns at any time. I don't have to make an appointment or drag everyone in to the office. I can call or text her and she can give advice over the phone. Then if an office visit is needed scheduling appointments is very easy. She goes above and beyond to give great care to her patients!"

Lifestyle Medicine focuses on the use of evidence-based lifestyle interventions, such as nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and social support, to prevent, treat, and manage chronic diseases. It is based on the understanding that many chronic diseases are caused or exacerbated by lifestyle factors, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, improper sleep and chronic stress. At Essence of Health, we seek to find the root cause of your condition so that we can optimize your health.
