Wellness consults that still use DSM-5-TR when an eating disorder is present
SGAs and some antidepressants cause weight gain. We name that and discuss switches or metformin/GLP-1 only when appropriate.
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Body confidence program language in old URLs still leads to a medical visit.
Mind-body weight loss still uses A1c.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Wellness & Weight Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Plantation (Broward County) has about 92,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 18 minutes from Westfield Broward and the University Drive medical corridor.
Labs as indicated.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Exercise?
Dosed. Not a punishment.
Supplements?
Only if evidence and safety support them. No mystery stacks.
Sleep?
Apnea and insomnia are part of weight care.
Insurance?
Verify. Metabolic meds and visits have different coverage rules.
Self-esteem focus only?
Not if medical risk is present.
Telehealth?
Follow-up if you are in Florida. Exams as needed in Hollywood.
How long is the drive from Plantation?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Plantation via 595 or Broward Boulevard. Telehealth is also available for follow-up appointments.
Do you take a functional approach to psychiatry?
Yes. Beyond traditional medication management, we investigate root causes including hormone levels, thyroid function, and nutritional deficiencies — an approach Plantation patients particularly value.
Stressors we document in Plantation

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.
