North Alabama's most trusted weight loss & Wellness clinic
Matt Butler and Shelby Butler, DNP, FNP-BC
We are the owners of Better You Weight Loss & Wellness, a locally owned clinic focused on helping people feel healthier, more confident, and more comfortable in their own bodies.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Southern Adventist University in 2022 and am a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner. I have a deep passion for taking a more holistic approach to healthcare, looking beyond symptoms and focusing on the whole person, including lifestyle, mindset, and long-term wellness. I love getting to know my patients, understanding their individual goals, and helping them make changes that truly improve the way they feel.
Matt works more behind the scenes, helping lead the business, manage day-to-day operations, and support the continued growth of Better You. Together, we’ve worked hard to build the kind of clinic we would want for our own family, somewhere that feels personal and welcoming, where people feel heard, supported, and treated as individuals.
Outside of the clinic, our favorite roles will always be being Mom and Dad. Family is at the center of everything we do, and that same sense of care and connection is something we hope every patient feels when they walk through the doors at Better You!
Dr. Mark Christensen
I serve as the Medical Director and supervising physician at Better You Weight Loss & Wellness. As Medical Director, I am actively involved in the care we provide. I oversee clinical protocols and patient care, collaborate closely with our nurse practitioners, review cases regularly to ensure the quality and consistency of care, and check in directly with patients throughout their treatment and follow-up care.
My background is in emergency medicine, where I care for patients in situations that required quick decision making, precision, and the ability to manage complex medical conditions, and unexpected complications. I bring that same attention to detail and emphasis on patient safety to my role at Better You.
I also serve as Better You's physician injector, providing Botox and other aesthetic injectable treatments. My background in medicine and understanding of facial anatomy allow me to approach aesthetics with an emphasis on precision, safety, and natural-looking results tailored to each patient.
At Better You, I believe patients deserve more than access to treatments—they deserve a clinical team that takes the time to know them, understands their goals, and provides care they can trust. My role is to support that team while ensuring physician-level oversight remains an integral part of the care our patients receive.
Lindsey Stone, MSN, FNP-BC
I’m a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping others feel healthier, more confident, and like the best version of themselves. I earned my Family Nurse Practitioner degree from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2022 and have been a Registered Nurse since 2018.
Before becoming a Nurse Practitioner, I worked as a nurse in the operating room, where I developed a strong foundation in patient care, attention to detail, and providing compassionate support to patients during some of their most vulnerable moments. I also have a background in cosmetology and earned my cosmetology license shortly after graduating high school. That experience sparked an early interest in helping people feel confident and comfortable in their own skin.
I believe weight loss is about so much more than simply watching a number on the scale. I’m passionate about providing personalized care and creating an environment where my patients feel comfortable, heard, and supported throughout their journey. My goal is to help each patient develop healthier habits, reach their goals, and feel confident in the progress they’re making.
Outside of the clinic, I’m a busy mom of three daughters, a 10 year old and 9 year old twins. When I’m not caring for patients, you’ll most likely find me cheering from the sidelines while my girls stay busy with sports and activities. I’ve been married to my husband for 13 years, and family is a huge part of my life!

At our clinic, my goal is to create a supportive and comfortable environment where patients feel heard, educated, and encourage throughout their journey.
