Meet the Providers

Devon Allen, MD – Internal Medicine Physician
“I started my own weight loss journey last year, and when I found success, I wanted to share
it with patients who were looking for similar encouragement. Out of this, and in partnership with Cheri and Lynn, Weight Wisdom was created. I feel rewarded by helping people in such real ways, and I’m confident we can help you reach your goals!”

Cheri Rott, MS RDN – Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
“I believe that lifestyle changes are where you find success in permanent weight loss and maintenance. You need to make food changes that are for the long haul, eating real, quality foods that are mostly plant based for wellness.”

Lynn Huiskamp, NBC-HWC – National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach
“I’m an admitted optimist who believes each of us has the ability to steer our lives toward greater health. I believe we can build strong convictions and confidence to lead us toward beautiful, lasting positive change.”
