Kerry Traugott, DNP

Kerry Traugott, DNP, operates a women-focused holistic weight loss practice in Spokane, Washington, combining peptide therapy with comprehensive lifestyle and mindset interventions. Dr. Traugott holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and structures her programs around the understanding that sustainable weight management requires addressing metabolic health, behavioral patterns, and hormonal balance simultaneously. Her Spokane clinic serves women who have struggled with conventional diet-and-exercise approaches and seek a medical professional who integrates pharmaceutical interventions with personalized coaching on nutrition, stress management, and long-term habit formation.

The practice offers two FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist peptides: semaglutide and tirzepatide. Semaglutide works by mimicking the incretin hormone GLP-1 to reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity, while tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors for dual-pathway metabolic support. Dr. Traugott prescribes these peptides as part of structured weight loss protocols that include baseline metabolic assessments, body composition analysis, and ongoing dosage adjustments based on individual response and tolerance. Patients receive detailed education on injection technique, expected timelines for appetite suppression and weight reduction, and strategies for managing common side effects such as nausea or gastrointestinal changes during the titration phase.

Dr. Traugott's clinical approach emphasizes the connection between mindset work and physiological outcomes. She incorporates goal-setting frameworks, accountability structures, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help patients identify emotional eating triggers, develop healthier relationships with food, and maintain motivation through weight plateaus. Her programs address sleep quality, stress hormone regulation, and movement patterns that support metabolic health beyond caloric restriction. This holistic model recognizes that peptide therapy provides a metabolic advantage but requires concurrent lifestyle modifications to produce lasting results and prevent weight regain after treatment completion.

The Spokane practice operates on a hybrid consultation model, offering both in-person appointments at the Washington clinic and telehealth visits for established patients across the state. Initial consultations typically include a comprehensive health history review, discussion of previous weight loss attempts, assessment of contraindications for GLP-1 therapy, and collaborative development of individualized treatment goals. Follow-up visits occur monthly or biweekly depending on protocol phase, with Dr. Traugott monitoring weight trends, side effect profiles, and adherence to lifestyle components. Patients receive direct access to Dr. Traugott between scheduled visits for questions about dosing, unexpected symptoms, or program adjustments.

Women in Spokane and throughout Washington choose Dr. Traugott's practice for her integration of evidence-based peptide therapy with the personalized attention and holistic perspective often missing in conventional healthcare settings. Her DNP training provides the clinical expertise to manage complex metabolic cases and comorbid conditions such as insulin resistance, PCOS, or thyroid dysfunction that commonly accompany weight management challenges. The practice accepts patients seeking alternatives to the fragmented care model where prescriptions are issued without ongoing support, education, or attention to the psychological and lifestyle factors that determine long-term success. Dr. Traugott's Spokane clinic represents a functional medicine approach to weight loss that treats peptide therapy as one component of comprehensive metabolic restoration rather than a standalone pharmaceutical solution.
