Charise Fashho, MD

Dr. Charise Fashho is a double board-certified OB/GYN and Obesity Medicine physician (ABOM), as well as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, who believes true health exists at the intersection of science, resilience, and real life. Her clinical philosophy blends surgical precision, metabolic science, and compassionate listening to deliver individualized, evidence-based care. She earned her medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine, where clinical rotations in Acadiana sparked a lasting appreciation for the culture and community of South Louisiana. She completed her residency at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans, refining her expertise in high-acuity obstetrics and complex gynecologic surgery. During residency, she was voted the Resident Teaching Award by her peers — a distinction reflecting her commitment to mentorship, leadership, and advancing women’s healthcare education. Dr. Fashho’s career spans diverse healthcare environments, including private practice in Louisville, Kentucky, and academic experience with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. She later served as an OB hospitalist within large healthcare organizations and as a clinician for Weight Watchers, gaining insight into both corporate medicine and population-based metabolic care. Known for clinical excellence and relational leadership, she has a natural ability to connect physicians, specialists, administrators, and community partners to strengthen collaborative women’s health initiatives. Her integrity anchors every professional relationship, and she is recognized for high standards, reliability, and principled decision-making. While her early career thrived in the operating room, motherhood reshaped her understanding of sustainable health. Witnessing burnout firsthand shifted her focus toward root causes — inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, mitochondrial health, and hormonal balance. That evolution ultimately led her to co-found Oizō Wellness Collective, where she blends clinical precision with a personalized, longevity-focused approach that helps women reclaim energy, confidence, and vitality.
