Stuck in a rut trying to get healthier or more in shape? Meet Dr. Ashley Lucas and her team at PHD Weight Loss and Nutrition. The clinic opened their Greenville location at 27 S. Pleasantburg Dr., Suite #55 on June 1, and they’re now accepting new clients for their proven holistic and food-only based program.

With 15+ years of education in the field of nutrition and metabolism, Dr. Lucas created the PHD Approach which focuses on optimal health and metabolic alignment. Through this holistic approach, PHD works with individuals to create customized programs which focus on behavior change, nutrition counseling + education, cognitive behavioral work and accountability.

They take a unique approach understanding that weight gain isn’t your fault. Severe dieting and extreme exercise plans are not sustainable for weight loss. Instead, Dr. Lucas employs a team of health coaches, nutritionists, life coaches + certified PHD consultants, along with an advisory board of physicians and PhDs in psychology, to support you along your wellness journey.

Clients participate in weekly one-on-one coaching sessions that help facilitate behavioral changes and lead to long-term weight loss. Once a client reaches their optimal weight – the success rate is around 95% – PHD will continue to help them maintain it with the free lifetime maintenance program.

To celebrate the opening of their Greenville clinic, PHD is offering free consultations. Call 864-252-4925 to schedule yours. Because there’s no shame in asking for help.
