Crystal Duncan
Crystal is the founder, owner, and Nurse Practitioner at Pensacola Better Bodies & Weight Loss. Her nursing career began in 2003 as a nursing assistant, and she earned her associate's degree in nursing in 2006. She continued her education, receiving her bachelor's degree in nursing in 2014 and her master’s degree in 2017. Crystal is a dually certified Adult Gerontology Primary Care and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner. Her dedication to providing compassionate, comprehensive care to her patients is fueled by her personal experiences with healthcare and obesity.
Crystal's own struggles with obesity inspired her to take control of her health. After trying numerous diets and weight loss programs with little success, she committed to learning all she could about weight management. Since the summer of 2020, she has successfully reduced her weight by 35 pounds and maintained her progress. Crystal is now passionate about helping others achieve similar results through her expertise and personal experience.
