A&E’s new docudrama "Heavy" follows twenty-two individuals facing extreme life-threatening health consequences as a result of their obesity. The first several episodes take place in Houston, TX. More importantly, the rest take place in Hilton Head, SC.
Why is that more important? You'll see.
Our very own Johanna Smith-Ellis, M.Ed, C.A.S., is a presenter and facilitator at Hilton Head Health. She is a Certified School Psychologist and Counselor in private practice whose special interests include depression and anxiety, alcoholism, and both attention and eating disorders.
If you catch an episode of "Heavy" that takes place in SC you should know this: Johanna is the show psychologist. She's a star! Tune in Mondays 10/9c on A&E to track Johanna’s on-screen appearances and watch as she gives the men and women the tools and support they need to regain control of their eating.
Johanna is a fellow UVM graduate from Auburn, NY. Keep your eyes peeled for a celebrity sighting near you!
