I believe we have the ability within us to meet the joys and challenges of life with energy, curiosity and a sense of centeredness. When pressures become too great, though, it can be difficult to find that inner state of calm empowerment. Stressful situations, pain and illness and old habitual behaviors can make it difficult to enjoy life.

As men age, they produce less testosterone required for normal physical performance and sexual enjoyment. Low testosterone levels can also lead to other issues such as muscle loss, fatigue, decreased sexual desire, mood swings, memory loss, depression, and anxiety. Hormone replacement therapy can reverse these symptoms by boosting low testosterone levels and correcting hormone imbalance. Men receiving testosterone replacement therapy can see an increase in energy, performance, sexual virility and improved feelings of well-being, as well as reduced body fat, decreased mood swings, increased strength and improved mood.

I have been a primary care physician since 2004 with interests in psychiatry (which I have been practicing for approximately 17 years) including- depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADD/ADHD, chronic pain syndromes, alcohol and narcotic abuse, weight loss management, and certification for medical cannabis.
As an experienced Medical Doctor I believe the strong connection between mind and body requires a holistic approach to healing somebody both mentally and physically. Many times a physical symptom can be a manifestation of a mental condition and the same can be said that a mental condition can be the symptom of a physical issue. I want to bring you my experience treating both mental and physical conditions to help you find a happy balance.

Weight Loss Therapists

What is the relationship between weight management and mental health?

Mental health can be significantly influenced by one's physical health, so overall improvements in one's quality of life as a result of improved physical functioning from weight loss can have an overall positive impact on an individual's mental health and allow them to engage more readily in everyday activities. In addition, many strategies used to manage weight, such as exercise and maintaining a healthy diet, are also associated with reducing the symptoms of common mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. Individuals may also benefit from the improved self-esteem and self-efficacy that can come with successful weight management.

What is the psychological approach to losing weight?

While there are no specific therapy modalities specifically for weight loss, common psychological therapies can be highly effective in helping clients make lasting lifestyle changes. This may be called the "psychological approach" to weight loss because it does not rely on physical interventions, such as medication or weight loss surgery, to help clients lose weight. Weight loss counseling can be used in addition to or instead of such physical interventions. Some clients simply seek therapy to address the challenges that may accompany weight loss in general, including negative thoughts surrounding their body, disordered eating patterns, or difficulty completing daily tasks as a result of their weight challenges. In such cases, therapists will often utilize behavioral coaching or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients understand how their thoughts may be influencing their diet and physical activity patterns.

What type of therapy is commonly used in weight loss counseling?

Weight loss counseling often involves a combination of therapy and psychoeducation. Common techniques used by weight loss counselors include journaling, thought diaries, and other Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies that encourage clients to consider how their feelings about their weight loss impact their mental health. Weight loss counselors may also teach clients mindfulness exercises, which can be used by clients during and after eating to be more aware of physical cues from their body surrounding eating. Some clients looking for weight loss therapy may also benefit from group therapy approaches, which utilize the power of social connection and accountability to help clients adhere to their weight loss plan.

Is therapy recommended for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery?

While therapy is not a requirement for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery, many individuals undergoing weight loss surgery may benefit from seeing a counselor. Prior to surgery, counselors can help clients decide whether surgical weight loss is a good fit for them and assist in surgery preparation. Post-surgery, counselors can assist clients with the psychological component of maintaining their weight loss, as well as help clients navigate any postoperative pain. Throughout the surgical process, therapists can help clients process body-image challenges that may come with dramatic changes in weight, as well as manage symptoms of anxiety or depression that may accompany the major life changes bariatric surgery can bring.
