Mimi Ellis, PA-C, RDN, CHC
Mimi started her health care career in 1993 as a Registered Dietitian, then continued to become a Physician Assistant (PA) in 2000. She has been a practicing PA ever since, working in General Surgery, Ob/Gyn, and with Dr. Zweig in Otolaryngology since 2013. Feeling the constraints of managed care and the limitations it places on a practitioner’s time with patients, she searched for additional ways she could help them follow through and implement the changes needed to live healthier lives. She became a Certified Health Coach in 2020, through the National Society of Health Coaches. She currently wears all three hats, and combines them with an interest in a more holistic approach to healthcare.
Through one-on-one and group coaching she helps patients tackle the barriers that stand between them and living their healthiest life. Having an impaired sense of smell and taste since 2017, she’s especially good at making healthy food taste great! Ms. Ellis teaches an Intuitive Eating / non diet approach to nutrition, and has practiced this approach herself for over thirty years after a decade of yo-yo dieting and weight cycling. Her mantras are “eating should give us pleasure” and “I’m NOT the food police.”
