Body confidence that does not deny medical risk
Leftover coaching/affordable slugs are not our clinical method.
Clinical scope of Wellness & Weight Management in Broward County
Body confidence program language in old URLs still leads to a medical visit.
Booking a wellness consult is booking a clinical visit.
Access from Lighthouse Point
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Lighthouse Point presentations. Wellness & Weight Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Lighthouse Point (Broward County) has about 10,500 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 32 minutes from Lighthouse Point Yacht Club and the Venetian Waterway.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Lighthouse Point include The Venetian Isles and Sample Road east of US-1. ZIP codes 33064 map to this service-area page.
Depression anhedonia makes meal prep impossible; the plan ignored that.
Indications and differentials
Metabolic syndrome plus psychiatric illness.
Binge-eating or night-eating.
Patients who want monitoring, not a challenge.
Depression/anxiety driving intake or inactivity.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Lighthouse Point 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.
ZIP 33064 is the lead postal code listed for Lighthouse Point. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Decide: therapy, dietitian, med switch, anti-obesity med, or higher care.
Screen restriction, binge, purge, laxatives.
Lighthouse Point FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Walk-in?
No.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
How far is the office?
32 minutes from Lighthouse Point.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
How Wellness & Weight Management is structured
Involve family only with consent.
Follow up; depression relapse often precedes weight relapse.
Screen restriction, binge, purge, laxatives.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
Next step
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Wellness & Weight Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
