Eric J. Belanger has been a physician assistant for 12 years. Throughout his career the topics of weight management and healthy living have been professional and personal interests. He enjoys working with patients and providing clear, easy information they can follow to reach their goals. He was born and raised in Montana. His early years were spent exploring high mountain lakes in the Beartooth Mountains with a backpack and a fly rod. College years took him to Bozeman, Montana to explore trout streams and biomedical research labs. After graduate school in Idaho, he worked for six years in Spokane, Washington where he was lucky enough to meet his wife Elisha and also creatively found some time to complete two Ironman triathlons and a bunch of other endurance races. In 2012, they moved to Kalispell, Montana to raise their two sons, Ben and Nate, with as much wilderness nearby as possible. In his free time outside of the medical field, he enjoys camping, boating, skiing, fishing and outdoors as much as possible.
