I’m Dr. Michelle Gilliatte, a double board-certified physician in Family and Obesity Medicine. I trained at Indiana University School of Medicine and completed residency at Community East Hospital, focusing on women’s health and obstetrics and underserved care with the Jane Pauley Center. My career has spanned women’s health, obstetrics, rural and family medicine, hospitalist work in internal medicine, and obesity medicine—all while serving in leadership roles within major healthcare networks. Giving me a deep understanding of our health care system.
My path to medicine was anything but typical—I grew up on a fishing boat, pursued a career in acting that led me to dance for Pink on The Today Show and work with artists like Snoop Dogg, partnered with brands such as McDonald’s, and later competed nationally in fitness while training others as a certified personal trainer. These diverse experiences ignited my passion for the human body, wellness, and ultimately, the practice of medicine.
After years in traditional practice, I saw the need for care that goes deeper than symptom management—care that finds root causes, restores vitality, and empowers patients to thrive. With SomaVie Wellness my goal is to blend science-backed medicine with a whole-body approach to help you look, feel, and live your best.
