A Rebrand Rooted in Expertise
Will and McKenzie Ratelle
Livwell is rooted in a strong foundation of medical expertise, backed by years of experience in the health and wellness industry. Dr. Mark Lounsbery, an Internal Medicine Physician with over 15 years of experience at Sanford Health, is one of the driving forces behind Livwell. Since 2016, Dr. Lounsbery has been at the forefront of the weight loss industry, helping individuals manage weight and obesity-related health challenges with scientifically backed methods. His leadership ensures that Livwell’s programs are not only comprehensive but also medically sound and effective.
Dr. Lounsbery’s wife, Michelle Lounsbery, has also been an instrumental part of Livwell’s growth. Together, the couple has opened eight successful weight loss stores across the Midwest, originally under the Sanford Profile brand. Michelle’s passion for health and wellness now fuels Livwell, where she leads the Sioux Falls location, empowering individuals to embark on their health journeys.
McKenzie Ratelle, a certified Health Coach and former manager of multiple Profile by Sanford clinics across the Midwest, brings a wealth of knowledge to her role. She is also pursuing her National Board of Health & Wellness Coaching Certification, further solidifying her commitment to delivering real results for clients.
Will Ratelle, Livwell’s exercise science and physiology expert, has a background as a college strength and conditioning coach and Program Director at the University of North Dakota’s Kinesiology Department. As a former NFL and Division 1 athlete, Will brings firsthand knowledge of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. His extensive experience training athletes globally ensures Livwell’s members start their wellness journey safely and effectively. Will is also pursuing his PhD, adding another layer of scientific rigor to Livwell’s approach.
