Weight Loss

We are licensed in Texas, New York, California, Washington, New Mexico, and Iowa, offering virtual appointments for weight loss support across these states.

Weight loss is not just about appearance. It is about improving your quality of life, reducing the risk of chronic conditions, and increasing your physical and emotional resilience.

At Polished Mind Psychiatry, we understand that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is a deeply personal journey. Whether you are looking to manage your weight for health reasons, improve your energy levels, or enhance your overall well-being, our goal is to provide you with the tools, guidance, and medical expertise you need to succeed.

What Is Medically Assisted Weight Loss

Medically assisted weight loss is a safe and structured approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight with the guidance of healthcare professionals. Unlike fad diets or unsupervised programs, our method focuses on sustainable lifestyle changes, targeted nutrition, and when appropriate, prescription medications to help you reach your goals.

This approach is especially helpful for individuals who:

  • Have tried to lose weight through diet and exercise without lasting success
  • Struggle with health conditions linked to weight such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea
  • Experience hormonal or metabolic challenges that make weight loss more difficult

Common Challenges in Weight Loss

Weight loss can be complex and many people face similar hurdles along the way.

  • Slow metabolism that makes losing weight harder despite healthy habits
  • Emotional eating triggered by stress, anxiety, or low mood
  • Plateaus where progress stalls despite continued effort
  • Medical conditions or medications that contribute to weight gain
  • Inconsistent habits due to lack of support or accountability

Understanding these challenges is the first step toward overcoming them.

How We Approach Weight Loss

We begin with a comprehensive virtual consultation to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals. From there, we create a customized plan that may include:

  • Nutritional guidance tailored to your needs and preferences
  • Exercise recommendations that fit your schedule and fitness level
  • Behavioral coaching to address emotional eating and improve self-discipline
  • Prescription medications when clinically appropriate to support appetite control, metabolism, or fat absorption
  • Ongoing monitoring to track your progress and make adjustments as needed

Our approach is not about quick fixes. It is about long-term success and healthy habits that last a lifetime.

GeneSight Testing for Bipolar Disorder

For some individuals, mental health factors such as depression or anxiety can affect eating habits and weight management. In such cases, GeneSight testing can help identify the most effective psychiatric medications with the least impact on weight, ensuring your treatment plan supports rather than hinders your weight loss goals.
