IV 'weight support' marketing vs actual indications
Exercise is dosed like a treatment, not a punishment for eating.
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Functional weight testing is hypothesis-driven, not a catalog of 80 biomarkers.
Mind-body weight loss still uses A1c.
How Wellness & Weight Management is structured
Document GLP-1 risks if used.
Sleep, shift work, and Deerfield Beach food access.
Map weight trajectory onto medication starts.
Stop dangerous 'wellness' products.
Access from Deerfield Beach
Deerfield Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Wellness & Weight Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Deerfield Beach (Broward County) has about 86,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 36 minutes from Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier and downtown Deerfield.
{access}. That access pattern is why Wellness & Weight Management for Deerfield Beach is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Functional testing was a $2,000 uninterpretable panel.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated as IV slimming.
Patients who want monitoring, not a challenge.
Second opinion after a spa program.
Metabolic syndrome plus psychiatric illness.

Who is the clinician?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Can seasonal residents establish psychiatric care with you?
Yes. We offer initial evaluations for seasonal visitors and can continue care via telehealth when patients return to their home state, subject to licensing requirements.
Do you treat depression related to isolation?
Absolutely. Isolation-related depression is common in coastal communities, especially among retirees and seasonal residents. Our evaluations identify contributing factors including hormonal changes and social disconnection.
