Wellness & Weight Management for Deerfield Beach patients
Functional weight testing is hypothesis-driven, not a catalog of 80 biomarkers.
Stress eating and emotional eating still get a differential (binge-eating disorder vs situational).

Weight change tied to psychotropics.
Patients asking for GLP-1 who also have a psych history.

How Deerfield Beach patients actually get here
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
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.
Screen restriction, binge, purge, laxatives.
Involve family only with consent.
