— HOW WE TREAT —
Weight Management.
Integrative care for metabolic, hormonal, and mental health — woven together.
— THE PHILOSOPHY —
Weight is rarely just about weight.
It's tied to sleep, hormones, stress, mood, medication, gut health, and the daily rhythms that shape how the body stores and releases energy. Yet weight management is too often treated in isolation — separated from the psychiatric and emotional factors that influence it most.
At MIP, weight management is offered within the context of whole-person care. Our team brings together prescribing expertise, lifestyle coaching, and ongoing clinical monitoring, always coordinated with your mental health treatment. The goal is sustainable, individualized care that addresses both the biology and the behaviors behind metabolic health.
— OUR APPROACH —
Five pillars of metabolic care.
never a standalone solution — always part of a larger plan
No. 01 - Medical
GLP-1 Medical Management
For patients who are appropriate candidates, our prescribers offer thoughtful management of GLP-1 receptor agonists — a class of medications that may support metabolic health and weight regulation. Treatment includes thorough medical evaluation, careful dose titration, side effect monitoring, and ongoing clinical oversight. GLP-1s are never prescribed as a standalone solution; they're integrated into a broader plan addressing lifestyle, mental health, and long-term sustainability.
No. 03 - Foundations
Lifestyle Foundations
Sleep, movement, stress, and daily rhythm have profound effects on metabolic health — often beyond what diet alone can achieve. We help you build the lifestyle foundations that support sustainable change, woven into the rest of your care plan.
No. 02 - Nourishment
Integrative Nutritional Coaching
Our IIN-trained integrative nutritional health coach works with you to understand the relationship between food, mood, and metabolic health. We explore blood sugar stability, satiety, and the patterns that support energy and resilience — always within a framework that honors your relationship with food and your overall wellbeing.
No. 04 - Oversight
Ongoing Clinical Monitoring
Weight management is not a one-time intervention. We track progress over time, monitor for side effects and metabolic markers, and adjust treatment as your needs evolve. This is medical care, delivered with the rigor and follow-through of a clinical practice.
No. 05 - Integration
Coordinated With Mental Health Care
Weight, mood, and mental health are deeply interconnected. Stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption can all influence metabolic health — and many psychiatric medications affect weight. Our integrated team ensures that your weight management plan works in harmony with your psychiatric and therapy care, never in isolation from it.
— WHO IS THIS FOR
A clinically supervised, integrative path.
Weight management at MIP is appropriate for adults seeking a clinically supervised, integrative approach to metabolic health. We work best with patients who want their weight management coordinated with the rest of their mental health care — rather than pursued in isolation.
— A NOTE ON CARE
One approach does not fit all
If you have a current or past history of an eating disorder, our clinical team will evaluate whether weight-focused treatment is clinically advisable, and may recommend a different path of care that better supports your wellbeing.
