We’re a husband-and-wife team: Rob Ruley and Dr. Angella Ruley. Brilliance Wellness Care officially expanded into the Toledo area in April 2025. Dr. Ruley has been running the practice in Berkley, Michigan, for the past year and has seen incredible results, many of her clients have lost significant weight. That success inspired us to bring the business closer to home, here in Toledo.
Our current focus is on medical weight loss using the latest medications you’ve probably seen on TV. We begin by learning about a patient’s health history, eating and exercise habits, mindset around weight loss, and goal setting. From there, we tailor a plan that supports their journey, combining these elements with how medication may help along the way.
What’s your company culture like, and what are your goals?
We believe in great customer service and building strong, lasting relationships. Every patient should feel that they truly matter, not just another number. Together, Angella and I carefully evaluate each case and choose the right approach for each person. We also prioritize continuing education to stay current in the ever-evolving world of weight loss. In fact, we’re exploring Botox training to expand our services in the future.
One of our biggest challenges right now is growing the business. We've tried everything from flyers and business cards to traditional advertising—and we’re hoping the Chamber network and visibility from this spotlight help more people discover what we do.
What do you enjoy outside of work?
When I’m not at the office, I’m often out on the golf course, either playing or giving lessons, as I’m also a professional golf instructor. Angella and I love exploring local restaurants and catching a Mud Hens game. There’s more to do in Toledo than people realize, you just have to seek it out.
What advice would you give to new business owners?
Don’t expect your business to take off on its own. A great idea is just the start. Success takes hard work, creativity, and research. Understand your market, watch what competitors are doing, and plan for ongoing costs while you grow.
Are there causes you care deeply about?
Absolutely. We support organizations helping those affected by diseases like childhood cancer and ALS. These individuals didn’t choose their diagnosis, and they rely on medical professionals and treatments for survival. While being overweight may not always lead to health concerns, losing excess weight almost always leads to better outcomes, and we’re proud to help people reach that goal.
We’re excited to welcome Brilliance Wellness Care to the Chamber and the Toledo business community. Be sure to connect, spread the word, and support their mission to help more people feel better, live healthier, and reach their goals.
