About | Forward Weight

Our founder, Dr. Latonya Fore-Williams, recognized a critical gap in the healthcare system: the need for a clinic that addresses obesity with an understanding of cultural and community needs, grounded in evidence-based care.

This realization inspired the creation of

Forward Weight and Wellness.

Our Mission

Forward Weight and Wellness empowers individuals with personalized, evidence-based weight management solutions and culturally relevant care, fostering a supportive community for lasting health.

Our Vision

Our vision at Forward Weight and Wellness is to build a healthier community where everyone has access to personalized, evidence-based weight management and wellness care. We strive to be the leader in providing culturally relevant health solutions, fostering a supportive environment where individuals can achieve and maintain optimal health and well-being.

Our Unique Approach

At Forward Weight and Wellness, we use The Forward Model™—a proprietary care framework designed to treat obesity and the weight of everything that comes with it. Rooted in clarity, consistency, and cultural understanding. It centers real life, emotional weight, and systemic stressors—especially for underserved communities.

I’m Dr. Latonya Fore-Williams.

Just like you, I tried many diets and read every book that promised weight loss. I even asked my doctor to help me lose weight. Some were successful; most were not. And I always found myself regaining the weight.

As a Certified Nurse Practitioner in Obesity Medicine, I’ve helped thousands of patients reach their weight and wellness goals.

This is not just pills, shots, and another meal plan. It’s research-backed education and support.
