Sylvia Gonsahn Bollie

Dr. Sylvia Gonsahn Bollie, MD, DABOM, is a dual board certified integrative obesity specialist, best selling author, philanthropist, and dynamic speaker. But Dr. Sylvia is more than a doctor; she's a loving woman of God, wife, and mom of 2 rambunctious kids who loves helping other women thrive and embrace their wellness in the mindset of busyness. Eight years ago, Dr. Sylvia had achieved her dream job and family. But she was weighed down with 40 extra pounds due to perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional eating. Diets didn't work anymore. She had to shed the emotional weight of success and prioritize herself. Today Dr. Sylvia lives lighter in body, mind, and spirit. In 2020 she created Embrace You Weight &Wellness to empower other successful women carrying extra weight with the body, mind, and spirit tools you need to prioritize yourself and live lighter.

On her journey, Dr. Sylvia became a wellness mindset strategist, certified group fitness instructor, marathon runner, and a quick meals creative cook. She specializes in creating consistent happy, healthy weight and wellness consistency amid chaos.

When Dr. Sylvia isn't helping women prioritize themselves and optimize their wellness, she enjoys leveraging her expertise in culturally sensitive obesity care to work towards eliminating health disparities. Dr. Sylvia is a sought-after health consultant, program designer, and freelance writer. In addition, she and her husband, Rodney, enjoy giving back to their communities. In addition to being active in the PTA and local Chamber of Commerce, in2017, Rodney and Dr. Sylvia founded the Institute of Basic Technology, Liberia's only non-profit STEM lab for highschool students.The Bollie family resides in the DC Metro area and frequently escapes the DC hustle on the beautiful walking trails.
