Ann Gerhardt, MD is Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition.  Her overriding interest in wellness has led to work in a variety of settings, which fits her many interests.  She currently is a private medical and nutrition consultant out of her office.

In 1994 she founded a non-profit organization to prevent eating disorders, called We Insist on Natural Shapes.  Along with many other organizations, this effort succeeded in at least plateauing the prevalence of these deadly diseases.  Subsequently she began writing DrG’sMediSense, a newsletter about medical and nutrition issues.   The original non-profit and new newsletter merged to form a new organization, Healthy Choices for Mind and Body.  To receive free email newsletters, sign up at www.healthychoicesformindandbody.org.  

DrG’s awards include the 2005 Medical Honor Award from the Sacramento Sierra Valley Medical Society and the 1996 Sacramento Heroes in Healthcare Award.  She has been voted Sacramento Magazine’s “Top Doc” in eating disorders over several years.  

She trained at Case Western Reserve University, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Chicago.  She moved to California to join the faculty at UCDavis in 1985, but left to set up a private practice in 1988.  Her love of scholarly inquiry has led to many scientific publications.  ​
