functional weight testing
Functional weight testing goes beyond basic bloodwork to investigate thyroid function, cortisol patterns, sex hormones, insulin resistance, inflammatory markers, and nutrient deficiencies. These comprehensive lab panels reveal the specific biological barriers to weight loss in your body.
Improve mental health through sustainable weight and wellness. The relationship between weight and mental health is bidirectional — psychiatric medications can cause weight gain, while excess weight worsens depression, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances. At Peace & Heart Wellness, we address both sides simultaneously with an integrated approach that produces lasting results.
Integrate nutrition, hormones, and behavior for lasting mind-body results. Our wellness program begins with comprehensive lab testing to identify hormonal, metabolic, and nutritional factors driving weight challenges. We then create a personalized plan that may include hormone optimization, medication adjustment, nutritional guidance, and behavioral strategies tailored to your specific biology.
Unlike quick-fix diet programs, our approach treats the root causes of weight challenges. Thyroid dysfunction, cortisol imbalances, insulin resistance, and sex hormone deficiencies all directly impact weight — and all respond to targeted medical treatment. We test for these factors before recommending any weight management intervention.
Dr. Chatelier's psychiatric expertise is uniquely valuable in weight management because emotional eating, stress-driven cravings, and medication-related weight gain require clinical understanding of the brain-body connection. Our patients achieve sustainable results because we address the psychological, hormonal, and behavioral dimensions of weight together.
