Body confidence that does not deny medical risk
Thyroid, sleep apnea, and insulin resistance are medical, not 'mindset.'
What Wellness & Weight Management actually includes
Mental health weight programs have to diagnose binge-eating and depression, not just count almonds.
Mind-body weight loss still uses A1c.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Hillsboro Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Wellness & Weight Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Hillsboro Beach (Broward County) has about 2,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 36 minutes from Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse and Millionaire Mile.
Safety if BMI or vitals are unsafe.
Refer out when the case is primarily endocrine or bariatric.
Credentials and method
The Hollywood office is the only brick-and-mortar site. Wellness & Weight Management for Hillsboro Beach is service-area care from that office plus telehealth — not a separate clinic in every city.
Informed consent for Wellness & Weight Management covers benefits, risks, alternatives (including no medication), and the limits of telehealth. Patients can decline any lab or medication without losing access to the diagnostic formulation.
The practice does not publish fabricated star ratings. Patient stories on this site are process descriptions, not purchased testimonials.
Hillsboro Beach FAQs for Wellness & Weight Management
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Affordable coaching URL?
Retained slug. This is not cheap coaching.
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Exercise?
Dosed. Not a punishment.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
Will you weigh me every visit?
Only if it is clinically useful and not harmful to your eating-disorder recovery.
Can I do all appointments via telehealth?
After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.
How do you ensure privacy?
All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Suicide screen — eating disorders carry risk.
No IV for weight loss.
Sleep screen.
Eating-disorder screen every new patient in this service line.

Next step
Request a Wellness & Weight Management visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.
After Wellness & Weight Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
