Blain Wellness: Founded in 2025
Our Story
Blain Wellness was established in response to the growing obesity epidemic in the United States.
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. These experiences inspired me to take a stand and fight against this growing epidemic, leading to the creation of Blain Wellness.
A Growing Health Crisis with Life-Threatening Consequences
The Dangers of Obesity
Obesity is a major risk factor for numerous life-threatening conditions, including:
• Heart Disease – A leading cause of death, with obesity-related cases rising over the past two decades (Benjamin et al., 2019).
• Type 2 Diabetes – The primary risk factor for developing this chronic condition (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases [NIDDK], 2021).
• Stroke – Strongly linked to excess weight and high blood pressure (American Heart Association [AHA], 2023).
• Cancer – Associated with 13 different types of cancer, including breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer (National Cancer Institute [NCI], 2023).
• Osteoarthritis – A common consequence of excess weight putting stress on joints (Arthritis Foundation, 2022).
A Call for New Solutions
Obesity is now the second leading preventable cause of death in the U.S., following smoking. Nearly one in five deaths among African Americans and Caucasians aged 40 to 85 is linked to obesity, a trend that continues to rise across generations (Masters et al., 2013). The obesity crisis is driven by multiple factors, including genetics, diet, sedentary lifestyles, medications, lack of education, and aggressive food marketing (CDC, 2022).
History has shown that smart, strategic public health interventions—such as those used to combat smoking and hypertension—can create lasting change. To prevent hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths, we must take bold, innovative approaches and make obesity a top public health priority (Wang et al., 2011). At Blain Wellness, we are committed to tackling this epidemic through proactive, evidence-based strategies that empower individuals to achieve sustainable health and well-being.
