FitMD is a health and wellness company founded by Dr. Jessica Sikora that is focused on teaching patients how to create healthy, sustainable lifestyles through proper exercise, nutrition, and education.
As a primary care physician, I witness the dire need for actionable lifestyle interventions to promote overall health with a focus on proactive-preventative wellness. There is a time and a place for prescriptions. But research confirms again and again that lifestyle modifications are the basis to true health and healing. Genetics plays a role in disease, but movement and nutrition is the best medicine for everyone.
“ Genetics loads the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.”

Before medical school, Jessica owned and operated Real Results Fitness which focused on integrative health and wellness for clients of all ages, demographics, and backgrounds. Real Results had seven trainers and two nutritionists Jessica personally trained to work with clients both virtually and locally. Jessica also worked with several local physicians as a wellness coach and nutritional consultant for their patients; it was this aspect of fitness that inspired her to apply to medical school. Client testimonials proved she was making a positive impact on people’s lives, but she wanted to reach a greater audience and serve on a larger platform. Functioning now as a physician, she has a greater knowledge base from which to teach and treat and therefore influence a larger sphere of patients.
Jessica writes fitness and nutrition articles for several magazines and is a published author; she penned a book geared towards teaching women with Type 2 Diabetes how to exercise and develop healthy relationships with food. Teaching has always come naturally to her; and in fact she was a 3rd grade teacher, diagnostician, and eventually the Special Programs Director for Dumas ISD before she left education to pursue a career in health and wellness.
Growing up Jessica had a multitude of health issues and found herself significantly overweight by high school. This was devastating to her since she was an athlete, and it negatively impacted her sports performance and self-confidence. Eventually, Jessica figured out how to eat properly and transform her body all on her own. Because she has been “fat” in the past, she is empathetic to the plight of those wanting to lose weight and is passionate about helping women and men feel confident in their bodies.
Fitness has always been a passion of Jessica’s and she has competed in a myriad of sports including triathlon, mountain biking, boxing, running, and cross fit. One of her favorite competitive memories is representing the USA as a triathlete in the World Championship; she finished as the 3rd American and 18th in the world. Jessica has two children and a son in law that are the light of her life. Jaycie teaches first grade and is married to Nathan, a local firefighter. They are expecting a precious baby girl this August! Brody played football at WTAMU and now coaches at Muleshoe ISD. If Jessica’s life could be summed up in one phrase it would be, “Live Fit to Live Fully.”
She cannot wait to teach you how to do the same!
