About
Hi, I’m Dr. Tighe.
I help adults take a more thoughtful, physician-guided approach to weight management, metabolic health, and healthy aging.
My work begins with understanding the full picture: health history, weight journey, lifestyle, energy, goals, risk factors, and the daily patterns that shape long-term wellness.
After decades in internal medicine, I have become especially interested in the areas where traditional care, prevention, lifestyle, and longevity overlap. My approach combines medical experience with evidence-informed nutrition, sustainable lifestyle strategy, metabolic health, and whole-person care.
This personal site is a place to share my perspective, resources, reading list, and selected consulting or educational opportunities. NovaSpan Health is the clinical practice I founded to support patients seeking more personalized care in weight management, longevity, and metabolic health.

Consulting
Consulting & Advisory
Dr. Tighe is available for select consulting and advisory conversations related to physician-guided wellness, metabolic health, longevity programming, supplement strategy, patient education, and medically credible health brand development.
Her perspective is especially useful for brands, founders, wellness companies, clinics, and education platforms that want to communicate about health responsibly, clinically, and clearly.
Potential consulting areas
- Medical credibility and positioning
- Longevity and metabolic health education
- Supplement and protocol strategy
- Patient-facing educational content
- Wellness brand advisory
- Private health education programs
- Peptide and longevity program positioning
- Clinical review of educational materials
Consulting does not create a physician-patient relationship and does not replace individualized medical care.
