Work With Us!Meet Kelly Turner
Physician Assistant turned Lifestyle Medicine Health Consultant
Kelly earned a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin, followed by a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology at The University of Texas School of Public Health. She then attended The University of Texas Medical Branch where she earned a Master of Physician Assistant Studies.
Kelly's epidemiological training has instilled in her a passion for promoting health through individual behavior change and chronic disease prevention. She also has clinical experience as she practiced as a Physician Assistant in plastic surgery, internal medicine and medical aesthetics for 7 years before discovering the field of Lifestyle Medicine.
After having her two beautiful children Kelly was struggling with a variety of health concerns including fatigue, irritability, difficulty sleeping and hormonal disruptions. As a medical provider she knew the importance of prevention, however she was seeking health optimization rather than treatment. The quest for answers led her to Lifestyle Medicine, a scientific approach to optimizing health through evidence-based solutions.
This transformative discovery helped her regain her energy and rediscover her passion for wellness. It was very clear that Lifestyle Medicine was her passion and she wanted to help others benefit from this discipline. So she took a leap of faith, changed careers and founded Verified Wellness as a platform to offer health consulting to help others optimize their health through the strategies she learned in this field.
Kelly is married to her husband and biggest supporter, Justin. They have been together for over a decade and have two beautiful boys. Kelly enjoys taking a walk in Memorial Park, doing a spin class, sipping a matcha latte, reading a good book, traveling to a new destination and spending time with friends and family.

She actively volunteers with the Lifestyle Medicine program at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio as well as community centers throughout the state. Dion has a passion for teaching people how to cook healthy and flavorful meals.

Dion has a passion for creating recipes that are both delicious and nourishing. She believes in a whole-foods diet to optimize health and prevent chronic disease. Her food philosophy is centered on abundance. She firmly believes in the power of nourishing, flavorful, and plentiful foods that not only leave you feeling satisfied, but also support your body in achieving its highest potential.
When her daughter, Kelly, asked her to be a part of Verified Wellness, Dion was thrilled to come out of retirement and follow her passion of helping people learn how to eat delicious foods that fuel the body with what it needs to thrive.
Dion is married to her husband Kim. They live in New Braunfels, Texas and enjoy spending time with their two beautiful grandsons. Most of the time you will find Dion in her creative element doing what she loves to do in the kitchen.
EVERYTHING CHANGED...
By consistently applying the principles of Lifestyle Medicine, Kelly experienced a remarkable transformation. She regained her energy, lost the postpartum baby weight, improved her mood, and developed a greater sense of overall well-being. By going back to the basics and prioritizing her health, she learned how to show up every day as her best self.
Her personal journey inspired her to help others achieve similar results, leading to the creation of Verified Wellness.
