IV Therapy

Emilie Fugate is a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in weight-loss management. Emilie is a Pensacola native, with over 18 years of healthcare experience. As her nursing career began, her passion for obesity medicine was ignited while caring for bariatric patients on the surgical floor at Baptist Hospital. She then worked as a trauma nurse in the ER for 11 years.

Emilie has a true passion for helping people and became a nurse practitioner to expand the scope of care she could provide her patients. She graduated with her BSN from Regis University in Denver, Colorado, and earned her MSN with highest honors from the University of West Florida.

While working and training at Woodlands Medical Specialists, Emilie pursued additional education and obtained an advanced certificate in Obesity Medicine from the Obesity Medicine Association to treat the root causes of many chronic illnesses. Emilie treats the whole person, advocating for her patients and educating other providers about the treatment of obesity. She understands that obesity is a chronic, long-term, relapsing neuroendocrine disease and needs to be treated as such long-term.

With a degree in Spanish Language and Literature from the College of Charleston, she is also fluent and uses those skills when traveling abroad. She is married to Sandro, and they have one beautiful daughter, Sophia.

Amy Leutscher | Medical Assistant

Amy Leutscher is a dedicated Medical Assistant with a passion for helping other achieve their health goals. Born and raised in Michigan, Amy relocated to sunny Florida to escape the cold and embrace a new chapter of her life. With over 25 years of experience in healthcare, Amy obtained her medical assistant license in 1996 and has since made a significant impact in the field.

Throughout her career, Amy has demonstrated a deep commitment to patient care, working primarily in primary care settings before transitioning to weight loss management upon moving to Florida. Her personal journey with weight loss has fueled her interest in this area, and she finds fulfillment in guiding others through their own transformations.

Amy’s approach to health and wellness extends beyond the workplace; she is an avid advocate for maintaining an active lifestyle. Regular exercise, which she engages in four times a week, serves as both a stress reliever and an essential component of her well-being. Her own weight loss journey, during which she shed an impressive 80 lbs., serves as inspiration for those she assists.

In addition to her professional accomplishments, Amy finds joy in spending quality time with her family, indulging in retail therapy, and soaking up the sun at the beach. She is a proud wife and mother of two daughters, ages 20 and 17, who continually inspire her to strive for excellence in all aspects of her life.

With a compassionate heart and unwavering dedication, Amy Leutscher continues to make a positive impact on the lives of her patients, empowering them to embrace healthier lifestyles and achieve their wellness goals.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with my Emilie Fugate. She was very informative, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the process. She provided me with all the information and tools I needed to help me lose weight and make healthier choices. She took the time to explain everything clearly and created a plan that was realistic and easy to follow. Most importantly, she helped me focus on improving my overall health, not just losing weight. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to live a healthier lifestyle.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Emilie at Inspired Health and Wellness for a little over a month after needing to find a new primary care provider following a recent diagnosis. From the beginning, Emilie has listened to my concerns, been receptive to how I feel, and worked with me to come up with a solid treatment plan.

Because of my unique circumstances and what was required for me to return to work after treatment, my situation has been a little outside the norm. Emilie has helped every step of the way and has truly gone above and beyond. I have always felt heard, supported, and cared for.

You can immediately tell this team genuinely cares about their patients from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave. As someone in the LGBT community, I also want to say that Inspired Health and Wellness feels like a truly safe and welcoming space. I have never felt judged or uncomfortable only respected, supported, and treated with kindness.

Amy, the medical assistant, is the first face you see when you arrive, and she is always smiling, welcoming, and even greets you by name. It makes such a great first impression.

From start to finish, you feel like you are in good hands. That kind of care matters when you are trusting a team with your health and wellness. I absolutely recommend Inspired Health and Wellness you will not be disappointed.
