Meredith Sheffield, FNP-C

Family Nurse Practitioner

With over 14 years of experience caring for women and 8 years as a nurse practitioner, Meredith Sheffield, FNP-C, brings a deep commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care at Lotus Center of Health. She is honored to support patients through some of the most personal and meaningful stages of their lives, guiding them with respect, trust, and clarity.

Meredith began her career as a cardiac nurse before transitioning to labor and delivery at NHRMC, where her passion for women’s health truly took shape. During this time, she had the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Sarah Gore, an experience that inspired her to continue her education and pursue advanced practice nursing.

She earned both her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (2009) and Master of Science in Nursing (2016) from UNC Wilmington and is board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). Prior to joining Lotus Center of Health, Meredith practiced at Glen Meade, further expanding her experience in comprehensive women’s health care.

Meredith’s approach is grounded in seeing the whole person, not just a diagnosis. She believes true health requires attention to physical, emotional, and mental well-being, as well as an understanding of root causes rather than surface symptoms. This philosophy naturally extends into her work in medical weight loss and metabolic health, where she helps patients who feel frustrated or discouraged after trying multiple approaches without success.

In her weight management work, Meredith combines medical insight, body composition analysis, lifestyle support, and-when appropriate-medication management to help patients move forward safely and sustainably. She is especially passionate about supporting patients navigating PCOS, hormonal changes, and other conditions that can make weight loss feel overwhelming or unattainable. To further strengthen this care, Meredith plans to complete her certification with the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA).

Patients value Meredith’s calm presence, her ability to listen without judgment, and her gift for turning complex health information into clear, achievable steps. Her goal is to empower each patient to feel informed, supported, and confident in their health journey.

Personal Philosophy

Meredith believes emotional and mental health are just as vital as physical well-being. She finds fulfillment in empowering patients, building meaningful connections, and exploring preventative, holistic approaches that support long-term health-not quick fixes.

Beyond the Office

Outside of work, Meredith enjoys life with her husband, son, daughter, and two dogs. She loves spending time outdoors-tending to plants, hiking, practicing yoga, enjoying the beach, and being with family and friends. Though free time is limited, she values staying connected to nature and the people she loves.

At Lotus Center of Health, Meredith Sheffield is honored to support each patient’s health journey, providing compassionate care that empowers patients through every stage of life.
