Blain Wellness

Blain Wellness was established in response to the growing mental health & obesity epidemic in the United States. Mental health conditions affect 1 in 5 adults, yet millions struggle silently due to stigma, limited access to care, long wait times, and a lack of compassionate, patient-centered providers (National Institute of Mental Health, 2024). Anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and emotional dysregulation continue to rise — especially among young adults, women, and underserved communities. My mission is to break the barriers surrounding mental health and offer a safe, supportive environment where individuals and families can begin healing with dignity and confidence. You don’t have to struggle alone. You deserve care that feels human, safe, and deeply supportive. Fighting the Obesity Epidemic Obesity is a significant public health crisis, costing the U.S. an estimated $147 billion annually, with much of this burden falling on public programs like Medicare and Medicaid (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2022). As a nurse and a nurse practitioner in the intensive care unit (ICU) for seven years, I witnessed firsthand how obesity devastates individuals and families. I cared for patients suffering from obesity-related complication —heart attacks, strokes, uncontrolled diabetes, and end-stage kidney disease many of whom were admitted time and time again. I saw the emotional and financial toll it took, not only on patients but also on their loved ones.
