Helping individuals achieve lasting weight management and improved metabolic health.

Dr. Teresa Gallo-Thys

Welcome to Elite Wellness Internal Medicine

I’m Dr. Teresa Gallo-Thys.

Board-certified Internal Medicine Physician, specializing in helping patients achieve lasting weight management.

My own experience with weight gain during and after pregnancy, made me realize that weight management is a complex journey. Postpartum, I couldn’t lose all the weight I gained, even with healthy eating and exercise. 

Because of the weight challenges that I faced, I learned about the underlying causes of weight gain and effective strategies to manage it. I was able to overcome it for myself, my loved ones and patients.

I understand your unique journey. Many factors contribute to weight and metabolic health, and I’m here to help you through it. 

Feel safe, understood, and cared for as my team and I at Elite Wellness Internal Medicine work with you to navigate your weight management journey.

Together, let's create a treatment plan that feels right for you, shaping wellness from within to achieve a healthier, happier you!
