Care Philosophy
I believe that obesity is influenced by biology, environment, psychology and social determinants of health. I rely on evidence-based tools — nutrition, physical activity, behavioral strategies and pharmacotherapy — while recognizing that no single approach fits everyone. My goal is to partner with each patient to design a plan that aligns with their goals no matter where they are at on their journey. Together, we set realistic goals, celebrate progress and adapt strategies as life evolves. Empowerment is central to long-term success.
Personal Statement
When I am not seeing patients, you will find me spending time with my husband and our two children. As a family, we enjoy spending time outdoors, especially anything in Door County. I am an avid runner but also enjoy doing nothing but sitting and reading a good book.

My introductory meeting for this program was online and well done. My meeting with Kyla was welcoming and very detailed to obtain my baseline and educate me of the upcoming visits with other caregivers. I felt heard, not rushed, and pleased with the comprehensive visit. After the visit I reviewed the notes, which pulled many healthcare clinical visits, labs, surgeries, and diagnosis into one record. This is impressive.

Kyla and the team have changed my life. I am a work in progress and they help me every step of the way. I have accomplished more this year than I have in 15 years. I finally enjoy life more and am positive about my future.

Always wonderful. Treated as a whole person. Kyla and her team are the example of what health "care" is supposed to be. More providers should model the behavior and care she gives. Being a provider myself, it is hard to trust other medical professionals. Kyla is someone I trust with my healthcare.

Kyla is very encouraging and shows genuine care when talking to you. Kyla is the exact type of provider to be in lifestyle medicine. The nurse was also wonderful to work with for the rooming process and coaching sessions also. Very approachable as well!

I absolutely love Kyla. She is the first Dr that I would definitely trust with my life. She listens to what you have to say and your concerns and give you the advise with your best interest in mind. I have never had a Doctor that truly treats you with respect and love.

The nurse who checked me in and Kyla were absolutely amazing. I went in there crying and I left with like a new sense of direction. I would recommend this place to anyone 10 out of 10.

I felt like the whole department really took time out of their day to connect with me as a person and to give me the treatments that work best for me. Gave me a better understanding of what it is I should be seeking, and gave me the sources if I was struggling.
