With prescription weight loss treatments and wellness methods, each client receives a blended Semaglutide or GLP-1 formula based on individual needs and goals. Semaglutide is a medication that helps provide a feeling of fullness by regulating insulin and glucagon in the body. The medicine mimics the natural hormone (GLP-1) that helps decrease appetite and food cravings to help you lose weight and keep it off.

A Mission Rooted in Real-Life Transformation
Lacey & Wally
Founder
Founded by Lacey and Walther (Wally) Landecho, Earth Angel Wellness grew out of a very personal journey with weight, hormone imbalances, and chronic health issues. Both Lacey and Wally are former military medical professionals—Lacey served as an Aeronautical Medical Technician/EMT and Wally served as a Surgical Technician, both in the U.S. Air Force. They met at Sheppard AFB in 2000, married in 2001, and have now spent over two decades not only raising a family, but also healing themselves and others.
After years of struggling, the breakthrough came with GLP-1 therapy and hormone support. Lacey lost 72 pounds, reversed her chronic inflammation and Wally followed with his own 60-pound weight loss and over 10 pounds of muscle gain. Their success became the blueprint for the clinic.
