Helen Powell-Stoddart, MD

Dr. Helen is a board-certified physician, author, and speaker dedicated to promoting health through lifestyle changes. A graduate of Oakwood University, she earned her Master’s in Anatomy and attended medical school at Howard University. The loss of her mother to complications of type 2 diabetes and her father’s battle with metastatic cancer profoundly shaped her career, inspiring her to explore the transformative power of nutrition and wellness. Dr. Helen completed dual residencies in Internal Medicine and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the Johns Hopkins University/Sinai Hospital Program in 5 years. She pursued a fellowship in Sports Medicine and Non Surgical Orthopedics, followed by additional training in Interventional Pain. While working in orthopedics, she observed that patients who made healthier lifestyle changes required fewer interventional pain procedures. This realization inspired her to establish her own practice, Pain 2 Wellness Healthcare, where she incorporated lifestyle modifications for pain management and supported patients in reversing type 2 diabetes. At Pain 2 Wellness Healthcare, Dr. Helen built a devoted following of patients who successfully reversed type 2 diabetes through her lifestyle approach seamlessly weaving in both traditional and alternative therapies for the success of her patients. She authored Reverse It! and its companion Success Journal, developed an intensive coaching program, and hosted both a network and YouTube cooking series featuring diabetes-reversing recipes. She also founded the non-profit Reverse It Now to make these resources widely accessible. Guided by personal experiences and professional expertise, Dr. Helen empowers individuals to reclaim their health through informed, sustainable lifestyle changes.
