Meet Dr. Joshua Dobstaff

Dr. Dobstaff grew up in Rochester, NY, before moving south to attend James Madison University in Virginia. After graduation, he moved further south to Atlanta, where he met his beautiful wife, Lisa, now of 15 years. Their journey took them to the island of Grenada, where Dr. Dobstaff attended medical school at St. George’s University, followed by his residency in Internal Medicine in Wilmington, NC. They have lived there ever since, enjoying the beaches of the eastern state and mountains of the western state, with their 3 boys, Henry, James, and Charles.
Dr. Dobstaff has embarked on numerous career endeavors across North Carolina, including working in several hospitals, involvement in various medical directorships, and business ownership. His dream is to use his clinical and business knowledge to bring a modern medical practice to the Wilmington area. He is excited to share this vision with you. When he is not focusing on his career passion, Dr. Dobstaff enjoys traveling with Lisa and the boys to the mountains, or “stay-cations” at the beach. He stays active through numerous exercise and fitness outlets, such as weight training, running, hiking, and any organized sport his boys are involved in.

Meet Lori Watson

As an antidote to the litany of TikTok misinformation, WellFed Clinical Nutrition endeavors to promote community-wide wellness by providing evidence-based nutrition that complements, rather than competes with, medical care to achieve optimal outcomes that LAST.
Lori founded WellFed as the culmination of her twin passions for wellness and medicine. Having earned her Master of Science in Applied Nutrition from the University of New England and completing a rigorous dietetics internship, Lori became a licensed and credentialed Registered Dietitian. By starting this career later in her life, Lori brings a unique perspective and a wealth of lived experiences that “flavor” WellFed, ranging from her time as a health science High School teacher to years spent creating and testing recipes and lifestyle improvement strategies on herself and her 3 boys.
An ardent believer in the mantra “knowledge is power,” Lori infuses every session with a dose of awe by grounding recommendations in scientific evidence and using her research background to clarify the current state of the evidence on a topic.
