About Trajectory Health Partners
Trajectory Health Partners evolved from the successful concepts that our founder, Dr. Karen Jerome-Zapadka, established at the VGA Center for Obesity Medicine in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. During the past five years, she developed a program there that improved and often reversed the health risks associated with metabolic diseases.
​
Recent studies estimate that nearly 90% of our population have a least one marker of
poor metabolic health and evolving insulin resistance. Left untreated, insulin resistance can contribute to most of the chronic diseases we now see, including MASLD, Prediabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, multiple cancers, dementia, infertility, PCOS,
obesity and mental health disorders.
Our practice is focused on Metabolic Health and Metabolic (Insulin Resistance) Syndrome with a special emphasis on Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), formerly known as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. This is now a leading indication
for liver transplantation.
​​
Our holistic approach to treating insulin resistance is unique for every patient.
​
We look forward to guiding you on your new trajectory toward better metabolic health!

Our Mission
To identify the earliest signs of Metabolic /
Insulin Resistance Syndrome and reverse
it before disease begins.
To recognize that every patient deserves
to know that there is a pathway to metabolic
disease remission that often does not require
long-term medication.
​
​To help patients recognize that Metabolic
Syndrome and Insulin Resistance are states
of carbohydrate intolerance, requiring
Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction.
