Wellness & Weight Management for Cooper City patients
Exercise and mental health: start at a dose depression can survive.
Wellness weight loss on this site means psychiatric-metabolic care, not a boot camp.
Evidence we actually use
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC holds DNP, FNP-BC, and PMHNP-BC credentials. Wellness & Weight Management is advanced-practice psychiatric care, not a 15-minute refill mill and not unsupervised coaching.
Functional labs (TSH with free T4/T3, ferritin, vitamin D, sex hormones, hs-CRP) are ordered when the history for Wellness & Weight Management suggests a medical contributor. Normal labs do not rule out a DSM-5-TR diagnosis.
Visit length for new Wellness & Weight Management is typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk, controlled substances, and how many variables changed since the last visit.

Not indicated as cosmetic rapid loss.
Wellness & Weight Management still needs screening.
