Unraveling Obesity Launches Nurse Navigator Program

On March 3, 2025, Unraveling Obesity, part of the Frederick Innovative Technology Center, Inc. (FITCI) startup community, announced an exciting initiative aimed at combating the growing obesity crisis. The newly launched Nurse Navigator Program is designed to empower individuals struggling with weight management by providing personalized support tailored to their unique health needs.

The urgency of this initiative cannot be overstated, as over 1 billion people globally live with obesity, a condition linked to severe health risks, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and various types of cancer. In an effort to address this epidemic, Unraveling Obesity is offering comprehensive coaching and consultation services, helping clients navigate their weight management journeys more effectively.

The Nurse Navigator Program not only addresses the immediate concerns of obesity but emphasizes personalized care, enabling healthcare providers to create more effective treatment plans. Each participant receives individualized strategies, clarifying their obesity screening results and uncovering the root causes of their weight gain. They can also set realistic goals, access certified specialists, and benefit from science-based guidance while being referred to trusted obesity specialists.

Leading this initiative is Nermeen Asham, BScN, RN, a McGill-trained nurse and the founder and CEO of Unraveling Obesity. Nermeen's passion for preventive medicine and obesity management drives her commitment to reshaping how society understands and manages obesity.
