Oakland Park FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Can my antipsychotic stay?
Sometimes yes with monitoring; sometimes a switch is safer. That is a risk-benefit talk.
Can I refuse weight as a goal?
Yes. We can treat binge-eating and mood without a scale goal.
Do you prescribe GLP-1s?
When medically appropriate and after eating-disorder screening. Not as a cosmetic product.
Do you treat anxiety related to life transitions?
Yes. Life transitions — career changes, relocations, relationship shifts — are common triggers for anxiety and depression. Our evaluations assess these factors and create targeted treatment plans.

Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from Oakland Park. Telehealth appointments are also available for follow-up medication management visits.
