University Total Wellness University Total Wellness is a boutique weight-loss and wellness micro-clinic that combines modern medical
treatments with personal, hands-on coaching. Founded by Ed and Erica Guanill, the clinic was built on the belief that weight
loss is deeply personal, and no one should go through it alone. Ed and Erica have created a calm, supportive space where clients can
take control of their health with expert guidance and advanced tools. Their mission is to transform lives through personalized,
compassionate, science-backed care, empowering clients to feel confident, energized, and fully supported on their journey.
The origins of the micro-clinic trace back to a personal health journey treating Type II diabetes. Ed and Erica were inspired by
how many people struggle silently with their health and saw an opportunity to create something that truly supports long-term
transformation. With Erica’s healthcare expertise, Ed’s business experience, and support from general manager and wellness
coordinator Dena Lozano’s hands-on coaching approach, they felt they could build a more personal, science-based wellness model
where clients receive not only a prescription but a partner.
Years of combined experience in business and healthcare shaped their approach to what they call “Wellness Advocacy.” Traditional
weight-loss experiences often feel fragmented, with one provider for medications, another for treatments, and little continuity or
long-term support. They envisioned a space where clinical expertise and compassionate coaching could coexist seamlessly. From that
vision came the micro-clinic concept: personal, results-driven, and centered entirely on a private, individualized client experience. The
clinic offers GLP-1 consultations, 3D body scans, red light therapy, cryosculpting, THINNR homeopathic weight-loss maintenance, and
ongoing support. Each plan is tailored to the client’s bio-individual needs, recognizing that no two wellness journeys are the same.
With her clinical training, Erica consults the staff on strategies that support long-term success, including sustainable
nutrition planning, healthy habits, and evidence-based practices.
This philosophy forms the foundation of the micro-clinic’s unique model. Unlike large med-spas or telehealth companies,
every client at University Total Wellness is paired with a personal wellness coordinator who serves as an accountability partner,
concierge, and ongoing support system.
The most meaningful reward for the team has been witnessing life-changing client transformations and the trust placed in them
by the community. Seeing clients regain confidence, improve their health, and feel genuinely supported motivates the ongoing
evolution of the clinic’s offerings. Future plans include expanding the coaching and telehealth platform, launching more group
programs and wellness challenges, and introducing additional natural, homeopathic wellness and longevity services.
Ed and Erica live in the Sacramento area with their son and lead a busy, active life working, coaching clients, cheering at
basketball games, spending time on the water, or brainstorming new wellness ideas. They enjoy cooking healthy meals, developing
detox programs, and helping clients feel their best. Wellness isn’t just their business; it’s their lifestyle.
