A nurse educator with a personal reason to make health information clearer.

Professional biography

Education is the mission.

Anthony Colón has been a Registered Nurse since 1997 and has more than 25 years of direct healthcare experience. His background includes patient education, patient safety, behavioral-health nursing, and helping people navigate difficult health-related decisions.

His interest in weight management is also deeply personal. At his highest weight, Anthony weighed more than 400 pounds and relied on a cane while dealing with significant mobility limitations. Through GLP-1 treatment under medical care, nutrition changes, increased activity, and sustained lifestyle changes, he eventually lost more than 165 pounds and regained the ability to walk without the cane.

Anthony created AskAnthonyRN.com to help people understand medical weight-loss information, recognize important safety questions, and become better-informed healthcare consumers. He shares education and personal experience—not individualized medical advice.

Anthony’s nursing credentials and personal experience do not make this website a clinical service. He does not diagnose, prescribe, establish a nurse-patient relationship, or determine whether a medication, treatment, or telehealth program is appropriate for any visitor.

Anthony’s personal experience is individual to him. Results vary, and his story should not be interpreted as a prediction of another person’s results.
