Wellness consults that still use DSM-5-TR when an eating disorder is present
Self-esteem pages in old keywords will still get a medical exam.
Wellness & Weight Management for Lighthouse Point patients
Nutrition psych weight is the overlap of intake patterns and DSM-5-TR diagnoses.
Wellness weight loss on this site means psychiatric-metabolic care, not a boot camp.
Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Walk-in?
No.
How far is the office?
32 minutes from Lighthouse Point.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
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.

Book Wellness & Weight Management

Request a Wellness & Weight Management visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.
