She completed her medical degree at Western University of Health Sciences and developed a deep respect for whole-person care. Her board certifications in both family medicine and obesity medicine reflect a commitment to treating not just symptoms, but root causes.Her interest in nutrition intensified when her young niece was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. “Nothing was working,” she said. “So we tried a strict, fresh, gluten-free, and dairy-free diet. Within three months, she started to respond and was on her way to recovery. That experience changed everything for me.”<h2>A Leader in the Fight Against Obesity</h2>Dr. Kashani’s personal and professional experiences have positioned her as a leading voice in metabolic wellness. As a diplomate of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.abom.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lindora-welcomes-dr-kamelia-kashani-as-chief-medical-officer-a-visionary-leader-in-metabolic-wellness-2729280" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">American Board of Obesity Medicine</a>, she is at the forefront of integrating new innovations, such as GLP-1 medications, into personalized patient care.“GLP-1s are giving us the kind of weight loss outcomes we used to only see with surgery. But they’re not a silver bullet,” she said. “At Lindora, we pair medication with nutrition, vitamin and nutrient therapy, behavior modification and exercise support to make sure patients maximize fat loss — and minimize muscle loss — and feel their best.”This comprehensive approach is what makes Lindora stand out in the increasingly crowded and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/491362/health-wellness-market-value/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lindora-welcomes-dr-kamelia-kashani-as-chief-medical-officer-a-visionary-leader-in-metabolic-wellness-2729280" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$5.61 trillion health and wellness market</a>.<h2>Driving Lindora’s Medical Innovation Forward</h2>Dr. Kashani’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lindora/info">Lindora</a>, as the brand continues its national expansion under the umbrella of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.xponential.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lindora-welcomes-dr-kamelia-kashani-as-chief-medical-officer-a-visionary-leader-in-metabolic-wellness-2729280" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Xponential Fitness</a>. With over 80 licenses awarded and territories opening in key markets across the U.S., the brand is scaling rapidly to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lindora/why-the-wellness-industry-is-thriving-a-golden-opportunity-for-lindora-2728209">meet rising demand</a> for medically guided weight loss services.“Lindora has a very strong foundation,” Dr. Kashani said. “We already offer incredible services like IV therapy, ketogenic nutrition, and medically supervised programs. My goal is to build on that — make it more flexible, enhance our offerings, and help patients find the version of the program that works best for their body.”She also sees an opportunity to grow the clinical infrastructure. “We’re working on expanding clinics, integrating more supplements, and improving the tools we use to support long-term health. These are all building blocks for sustained success.”<h2>Looking Ahead: The Future of Medical Weight Loss</h2>According to Dr. Kashani, the role of medical weight loss is only going to grow. “GLP-1s have been around for diabetes for decades, but now we’re seeing their potential in weight loss, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, heart health, and more. We’re just scratching the surface,” she said.But she’s quick to point out that medication isn’t the only path.“Obesity starts with weight gain, but over time it becomes a disease — involving genetics, hormones and inflammation,” she said. “That’s why diet and exercise are always step one. And for those who need more, we now have tools to help them succeed. Lindora does a fantastic job at guiding people safely through this process.”<h2>A Perfect Fit for a Mission-Driven Brand</h2><a href="https://1851franchise.com/lindora/what-makes-lindora-different-medically-guided-weight-loss-2728923#featured">Lindora’s franchise model</a> continues to attract&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lindora/top-6-qualities-of-a-successful-lindora-franchisee-2729022#featured">mission-driven entrepreneurs</a> eager to make a meaningful impact in their communities, and the addition of Dr. Kashani strengthens the brand’s clinical credibility as it scales.“I always wanted to do more in this field,” Dr. Kashani said. “When I saw the opportunity at Lindora, I knew this was it. This is where I can bring my passion for science, nutrition and prevention to a platform that’s already changing lives.”With Dr. Kashani at the helm of its clinical strategy, Lindora is poised to continue leading the charge in medically guided weight loss — helping more people than ever live longer, healthier, and more vibrant lives.For more information on franchising with Lindora, visit:<a href="https://www.xponential.com/lindora-franchising?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lindora-welcomes-dr-kamelia-kashani-as-chief-medical-officer-a-visionary-leader-in-metabolic-wellness-2729280" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;https://www.xponential.com/lindora-franchising</a>.
