Indications and differentials

What we do not do
Bariatric programs are partners, not competitors, when BMI and comorbidity say so.
Primary-care GLP-1 without binge-eating screen misses a diagnosis.
Spa weight loss sells photos. We sell a problem list.
Clinical FAQ
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Do you offer IV weight loss?
No.
Stressors we document in Hollywood
A hormone mill promised T or estrogen would melt fat.
Body confidence Instagram care delayed medical labs.
Functional testing was a $2,000 uninterpretable panel.
Visit flow for Wellness & Weight Management
Telehealth for follow-up; office for exams.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
Set behavior metrics, not only pounds.
Diagnose psychiatric conditions that drive intake.
Book Wellness & Weight Management
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Wellness & Weight Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
