MDHerndon LLC was founded by Mark, a surgeon, and Shelby, a transplant nurse, after years spent working in high level medical environments where patient care was often fast paced and focused on immediate outcomes.

In their work, they cared for people during some of the most serious and life changing moments of their lives. They saw firsthand how deeply health challenges can affect confidence, energy, and quality of life.

But they also noticed something else.

Again and again, they met people who had struggled with their weight for years. People who had tried everything. People who felt discouraged, blamed, or overlooked. Many had been told to simply try harder, even when it was clear that the problem was more complex than willpower alone.

Over time, it became clear that weight loss care was often missing something important.
