Dr. Kevin Huffman, Bariatric Physician



Kevin D. Huffman D.O., a board-certified bariatric physician, has treated over 10,000 obese patients in his bariatric medical career and trained and mentored hundreds of physicians and allied healthcare providers. A nationally recognized leader in the bariatric medical community, and member of the ASMBS Corporate Council and the Obesity Action Corporate Council, Dr. Huffman has been called upon by medical/surgical societies, pharmaceutical/surgical companies, patients and hospitals to lecture and consult in the art, science and business of bariatric medicine.

As the Founder and President of American Bariatric Consultants, Dr. Huffman draws upon nearly three decades of developing treatment protocols, writing training manuals, inspecting doctors' offices and hospital programs. He also mentors and prepares physicians for board certification in bariatric medicine in order to help physicians, surgeons and hospitals enter the bariatric treatment community. 

Dr. Huffman graduated from Baldwin Wallace College in 1983, and then graduated from Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1987. 




Dr. Huffman has carefully put together and reviewed several nutrition collections to support different dietary needs and health goals. For those following a bariatric lifestyle, he has created complete collections of Bariatric Foods, including Bariatric Protein Bars, and satisfying Bariatric Protein Shakes. These products meet the special nutritional needs of weight loss surgery patients. He has also put together essential Bariatric Vitamins to help prevent the nutritional gaps that are common after surgery.

Dr. Huffman also understands other health needs. He has created collections of Diabetic Foods for those managing blood sugar levels. He's also developed GLP-1 Foods that work well with GLP-1 medications and support long-term weight management goals.

Each collection shows Dr. Huffman's commitment to science-based nutrition and his understanding of the unique challenges people face on their health journeys.
