Hi, I am Dr. Akita

Physician/Metabolic Health Specialist

When you land here, I want you to feel two things immediately:


empowered and connected.


Empowered — because you truly can take charge of your health.


Connected — because you don’t have to do it alone.

Connect With Me

Why I Do This Work:

I’m a board-certified Family Medicine physician with additional training in functional medicine and health coaching, but my work is much more than labs and prescriptions. My passion comes from lived experience — infertility, family history, generational patterns, and realizing that “common” is not the same as “normal.”


I’ve spent over 15 years serving patients from newborns to elders. I’ve studied at Tougaloo College, Brown Medical School and The Harvard School of Public Health. I’ve learned the science, but I’ve also learned the stories — the real ways stress, sleep, food, movement, and community shape our health every single day.


And here’s what I know for sure:


When people understand their bodies, they change their lives.


That’s what drives me.


Whether I’m breaking down insulin resistance on YouTube, explaining cortisol in a reel, hosting metabolic resets, or speaking at churches and conferences — my mission stays the same:


Educate. Empower. Equip.


This space is where medicine meets mindset.


Where science meets storytelling.


Where community meets real-life, doable habits.

If you’re ready to learn, grow, and build self-efficacy — welcome.


You’re in the right place.
