Body confidence that does not deny medical risk

What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Functional weight testing is hypothesis-driven, not a catalog of 80 biomarkers.
Sustainable wellness plan = behaviors + labs + meds review.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Privacy around weighing.
No untested supplement stacks.
Medication list vs weight curve.
No IV for weight loss.
Clinical FAQ
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Crisis / medical instability?
ER. Especially with restriction and electrolyte risk.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
Can North Miami Beach residents use your Hollywood office?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 15 minutes from North Miami Beach via I-95. We also offer telehealth for routine medication management and follow-up appointments.
Do you understand immigration-related mental health challenges?
Yes. We see many patients dealing with adjustment stress, anxiety related to immigration experiences, and intergenerational trauma. Our evaluations consider these cultural and social factors alongside clinical symptoms.
What we rule in — and rule out
Postpartum weight plus depression.
OSA plus weight plus mood.
Depression/anxiety driving intake or inactivity.
Patients asking for GLP-1 who also have a psych history.
