Meet your physician

Doctor Angela Lipscomb-Hudson

Doctor Angela Lipscomb-Hudson is double board-certified in Obesity Medicine and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and has been helping patients transform their health since 2007. She brings a unique combination of expertise in medical weight management, functional movement, and lifestyle medicine, allowing her to treat the whole person, and not just provide a diagnosis.

Her approach is rooted in evidence-based medicine and designed for real life. Whether you are struggling with weight changes, low energy, metabolic concerns, or the transitions of midlife, Doctor Hudson creates personalized, sustainable plans that help you feel better, function better, and regain control of your health.

Doctor Hudson completed Howard University’s accelerated BS/MD program and her residency at the nationally renowned Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago). She is a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, The Obesity Society, and The Menopause Society, staying at the forefront of modern, science-driven care.

Throughout her career, including roles at UNC Health and UNC Rex Bariatric Specialists, Doctor Hudson has helped patients achieve meaningful, lasting results through a combination of medical expertise, practical lifestyle strategies, and compassionate, patient-centered care.

How we work

Three things that shape every plan

One physician, start to finish

You’re not routed through a rotating panel. Doctor Hudson performs the evaluation, builds the plan, and follows it with you over time — which is how she can catch the patterns that only show up across visits.

Lifestyle as medicine. Two specialties, treated together.

Weight, metabolic health, functional movement and the transitions of midlife aren’t separate problems, and here they aren’t treated as separate appointments. Her double board certification is what makes that possible.

Evidence first, then real life

Our solutions are rooted in clear, holistic, evidence-based science — then adapted to your schedule, your household, and what you can actually sustain. A plan you abandon in three weeks isn’t a plan.

Where we practice

Durham, and wherever you are

Our office is in Durham, North Carolina. We also see patients by telemedicine anywhere Doctor Hudson is licensed: Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, and Washington, D.C.

You must be physically located in one of these at the time of your visit. Telehealth visits carry the same attention as in-person appointments — the format changes, the care doesn’t.
