Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
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.
