Meet Dr. Celia Egan, a dedicated advocate for women’s metabolic health and wellness. With dual board certifications in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, Dr. Egan brings a nonjudgmental, holistic approach to medical weight management and midlife health at true. Women’s Health®. Her work is grounded in science, compassion, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges women face as they age.

Dr. Egan is nationally recognized for her expertise in Lipedema, a condition that affects up to 11% of women and is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. She provides advanced, personalized care for women living with Lipedema and is passionate about raising awareness in both the medical and patient communities. Dr. Egan has served as a keynote speaker at the Obesity Medicine Association, the Fat Disorders Research Society Conference, and other national platforms, where she advocates for better diagnosis, research, and integrative treatment options.

From her specialized training in weight management, hormone health, and lifestyle medicine to her ongoing commitment to patient education, Dr. Egan empowers women through evidence-based strategies and compassionate care. Her goal is to help each woman find her own path to sustainable wellness—physically, emotionally, and hormonally.

Dr. Egan completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. After earning her medical degree from New York Medical College, she completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical Center–New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Her post-graduate work included oncology and survivorship care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and academic hospitalist medicine at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, IL. She then joined WellessenceMD, where she focused on obesity medicine, mindfulness, and preventive care in women’s primary care.

When she’s not caring for patients, Dr. Egan enjoys cooking, staying active, and exploring West Michigan with her husband (a local physician) and their three sons. Whether skiing, trying new restaurants, or relaxing at the beach, she brings joy and balance to her own life—just as she encourages her patients to do.

Dr. Egan is available as a subject matter expert to give presentations and keynote talks on Lipedema, metabolic health, menopause, and obesity medicine.
