Get to know Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Cecily Anne Clark-Ganheart, who serves patients in Overland Park, Kansas.

New York City, New York Sep 7, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. Clark-Ganheart is a fellowship-trained maternal-fetal medicine specialist, which is also known as a high-risk obstetrician or perinatologist. She is the President & CEO of Conceptual Health & Wellness in Overland Park, Kansas. 

Known as "the fasting doctor", she works with women who have a high-risk condition or have a baby who is high-risk. She also works with overweight women who are interested in conceiving to help them lose weight, maximize their health, and improve their pregnancy outcomes.

Graduating with her undergraduate degree from Michigan State University, Dr. Clark-Ganheart went on to earn her medical degree from the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. She then furthered her training with an internship at Case Western Reserve University - University Hospitals, a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Hurley Medical Center, and a fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine at Medstar Washington Hospital Center & Medstar Georgetown University Hospital.

Helping women maximize health, wellness, and fertility, she is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology & maternal-fetal medicine by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define specialty standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women's health.

A Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, she is a member of the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and the Obesity Medicine Association. She is also a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG).

After her own struggles with weight loss, Dr. Clark-Ganheart became interested in obesity medicine. At the time of the birth of her second son, she reached her highest adult weight of 264 pounds. That was in 2014. After that time, she had multiple attempts at weight loss. She reached a weight of 202 pounds through an employer-sponsored weight loss program at the time. However, the weight began to return, though she followed the plan.

In 2017, she came across a book recommendation entitled, The Obesity Code, by Dr. Jason Fung.  It discussed intermittent fasting and presented obesity as a disease, rather than a lack of willpower. The next book she read was Deep Nutrition by Dr. Cate Schanahan, which talked about a more ancestral approach to eating involving whole, real foods.

Through combining intermittent fasting and real foods, Dr. Clark-Ganheart has lost over 55 pounds. She now incorporates her personal experience, knowledge of intermittent fasting, and knowledge of obesity medicine to assist patients in achieving health beyond the scale.  

In addition to her clinical practice, she enjoys creating informational posts regarding health and wellness.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) is a subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology that focuses on managing health concerns of the mother and fetus prior to, during, and shortly after pregnancy. Maternal-fetal medicine specialists are physicians who subspecialize within the field of obstetrics. For pregnant women with chronic health problems or other complications during their pregnancy, MFM specialists work to keep them as healthy as possible while their bodies carry a pregnancy. They also care for women who face unexpected problems that develop during pregnancy such as early labor, bleeding, or high blood pressure. 

Originally from Battle Creek, Michigan, Dr. Clark-Ganheart has made Kansas City her home. Outside of work, she treasures spending time with her husband, Michael, and their three active sons. She is an avid gardener and enjoys volunteering at their local church garden.

She attributes her overall success to God as well as strong and supportive family and friends.
