Chief Medical Officer
“We believe every young person deserves weight care that looks beyond the number on the scale, with a personalized approach that considers their mental and physical health, development, and long-term well-being. Our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps them thrive long-term.”
Led by Medical Expertise
Dr. Pettaway brings nearly two decades of pediatric medicine experience, including fellowship training in Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the University of Pittsburgh. She designed Thryvwell's clinical protocols to align with the AAP's 2023 guidelines for adolescent obesity management and personally oversees every treatment plan to ensure your child receives safe, evidence-based care at every stage.

What Guides Our Care
The principles behind every treatment plan

Compassion First
Weight is driven by biology, not willpower. Every interaction is judgment-free, and every plan starts with listening.
02
Evidence, Always
Our protocols are built on the AAP's 2023 Clinical Practice Guidelines and FDA-approved treatments, never shortcuts or fads.
03
