Dr. Wyatt received her MD degree from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and completed both an internal medicine residency and an endocrinology and metabolism fellowship at The University of Colorado Denver. She is board certified in both internal medicine and endocrinology. Dr. Wyatt has been the National Program Director for the Centers for Obesity Research and Education (C.O.R.E) since 1999. She is also the medical director of The Center for Human Nutrition's Weight Management Program called The Colorado Weigh.

Grants Held (Current):

  • Principal Investigator- Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (k23) from the NIH to study energy metabolism and metabolic factors associated with weight loss in reduced-obese subjects.
