Janice Asher

Janice Asher, MD is a board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist who has helped hundreds of her patients successfully lose weight by eliminating feelings of shame, defeat, and deprivation. At the University of Pennsylvania, along with a nutritionist and therapist, she created the innovative MILE (Mindful, Intuitive Living & Eating) Program for students with eating concerns. She is convinced, by her own sustained weight loss and that of her patients, that the only workable path to long-lasting success is one that is based on self-compassion and a commitment to a goal of mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Dr. Asher has also co-authored a textbook on sexual assault and has lectured nationally on this subject. She has two fabulous daughters and lives in Pennsylvania with her dog.
