Dr. Marissa Toussaint, MD

Dr. Marissa Toussaint practices at Anise Medical, bringing a background in culinary and obesity medicine to the work. Toussaint spent much of life managing weight, and things only got harder while raising kids and moving through mid-adulthood. Solution after solution led to the same frustrating cycle, losing and regaining the same ten pounds.

The turning point came with realizing the weight would not simply disappear on its own. Training in both culinary and obesity medicine offered a scientific explanation for why earlier efforts kept falling short, and pairing that knowledge with some real mindset shifts led to a strategy that finally worked. Toussaint lost more than 40 pounds and has made it a mission to help patients reach their healthiest weight and get more out of life because of it.

Patients can expect to feel seen, heard, and supported, with the goal of helping each one find their healthiest self while still fully accepting who they already are.
