Lana Batishev, RN, BSN 

Founder, Suncoast Trim Clinic 

Lana Batishev, RN, BSN, is the founder of Suncoast Trim Clinic, a physician-directed telehealth practice focused on evidence-based, lifestyle-centered medical weight management.

With over a decade of experience in registered-nurse care, patient coaching, and metabolic health support, Lana works alongside licensed medical providers to help patients navigate weight management using medically appropriate tools such as GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, as part of a comprehensive care plan.

Her approach emphasizes responsible prescribing, individualized care, and long-term health outcomes over rapid scale-weight loss. Care plans are provider-directed and adjusted based on clinical evaluation and patient response over time.

Lana’s work focuses on addressing common challenges associated with medical weight management, including muscle loss risk, metabolic adaptation, and weight regain concerns. She advocates for a human-first, long-term perspective that prioritizes metabolic health, functional strength, patient education, and sustainable lifestyle practices.

GLP-1 medications are most effective when thoughtfully integrated into a broader care strategy. Lana frequently speaks on the importance of pairing medical treatment with habit-based lifestyle strategies that support consistency, adherence, and informed decision-making throughout the weight management journey.
