I am thrilled to continue our Women’s History Month celebrations by highlighting the remarkable Dr. Kamanga-Sollo. In my research, I found that she has achieved a significant certification and is making impressive contributions to the medical field. Take a look!
Dr. Gladys Kamanga-Sollo has earned certification from the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) as an ABOM Diplomate, joining a select group of 177 Diplomates in Missouri. This prestigious designation reflects her extensive training and successful completion of a rigorous examination process in the field of obesity medicine.
The American Board of Obesity Medicine plays a vital role in upholding standards for evaluating and credentialing physicians in obesity treatment. Being recognized as an ABOM Diplomate indicates a physician’s specialized expertise in obesity care and their commitment to maintaining high standards in the practice of obesity medicine.
Obesity, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, affects over 40% of adults in the United States and is linked to increased risks of serious health concerns, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and musculoskeletal issues. The American Medical Association officially classified obesity as a disease in 2013.
“I am honored to have achieved certification from the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) and to join a dedicated community of over 9,000 physicians focused on treating obesity as a complex disease,” said Dr. Kamanga-Sollo. “My aim is to deliver personalized and compassionate care that addresses all aspects of weight management, including lifestyle, nutrition, and medication options. Having experienced my own weight-loss journey, I am deeply committed to supporting others through their challenges in a caring and non-judgmental environment.”
Understanding that obesity is a multifaceted condition requiring specialized care, Dr. Kamanga-Sollo is dedicated to developing individualized treatment plans for patients facing weight-related health issues. Many individuals find themselves inadequately served by traditional primary care due to time constraints and competing priorities.
As a board-certified physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Dr. Kamanga-Sollo offers a distinctive approach that emphasizes not only weight loss but also functional optimization, pain reduction, and overall health improvement. Her expertise includes assessing body composition to evaluate fat distribution, muscle mass, and bone density—key elements for achieving sustainable weight loss and long-term wellness.
“I know the personal challenges of weight management all too well,” Dr. Kamanga-Sollo shared. “Having been morbidly obese and successfully losing 85 lbs myself, I understand the dedication it takes. My practice is founded on empathy and evidence-based care, providing patients with an affordable and comprehensive weight loss strategy that prioritizes their long-term health.”
Dr. Kamanga-Sollo is also committed to ensuring her services are accessible, working closely with patients to provide effective and affordable medication options.
