Background and History

Metabolic Medical Center was founded by Meridith Womick, MD, a board-certified physician whose career shifted from emergency medicine toward weight management as she focused on the preventable factors — like obesity — that negatively affect long-term health. Her belief that helping patients reach a healthy weight gives them the best chance at peak health, happiness, and quality of life is the foundation of the practice.

The center has grown to five South Carolina locations and developed its own programs and products, including The Metabolic Makeover™ and the supplement line Mom’s Metabolic Naturals®. It has earned local recognition, including “Best of Mount Pleasant 2025,” Charleston Choice, and Moms’ Choice award wins.
