Your Guide to Better Health Starts Here
Welcome to the NiuOla Health Blog, a place where medicine meets compassion, and your health journey is honored with the care it deserves.
I'm Dr. Tui Lauilefue, and as a board-certified internal medicine and obesity medicine physician practicing direct primary care in Olympia, I've dedicated my career to walking alongside my patients through every season of their health. Here, you'll find the same thoughtful, personalized approach that defines my practice: evidence-based guidance delivered with genuine warmth and understanding.
Whether you're working on weight management, dealing with chronic conditions, or just trying to feel your best, this blog is here for you. Every post comes from my heart and my experience treating real people with real lives. People who are busy, who have families and jobs and a million things on their plates, but who want to take better care of themselves.
I believe in small, sustainable changes. No judgment, no unrealistic expectations, just practical advice that actually works for how you live. This is the same approach I take with my patients, because I know that lasting health happens when we meet you where you are.
I'm so glad you found your way here, and I'm honored to be part of your health journey.
Dr. Tui A. Lauilefue, MD
