Weight Loss Management
at Bridged Connections Psychiatry
Integrative, compassionate care for sustainable weight changes—rooted in mental health, metabolism, and your real life.
Who We Help
If you’ve tried “eat less, move more” and it didn’t work, you’re not the problem. We support:
Adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, or emotional eating
People in larger bodies seeking weight‑neutral, shame‑free support
Individuals with metabolic concerns (insulin resistance, PCOS, perimenopause)
Partners & non‑birthing parents who want to feel well alongside their families
We focus on health behaviors and mental well‑being first. Weight is one data point—not your worth.
How the Program Works
1) Warm‑Start Clinical Assessment (60–75 min)
Comprehensive history (mental health, sleep, nutrition, movement, meds, labs, life context). We co‑create goals that fit your season of life.
2) Personalized Plan
Medication options (when indicated): GLP‑1s, bupropion/naltrexone, or others
Structured, flexible nutrition strategies (no crash diets)
Movement plan for energy, mood, and function
Sleep, stress, and hormone navigation (including perimenopause & postpartum)
3) Ongoing Support
Brief wins‑focused check‑ins (biweekly to monthly), messaging for micro‑coaching, and tracking that’s gentle—not obsessive.
4) Care Collaboration
We coordinate with your OB‑GYN, PCP, and therapist as needed.

What Makes Us Different
Psychiatry‑informed: We treat the brain and body together.
Trauma‑aware & weight‑inclusive: No shame, no moralizing.
Sustainable change: We favor consistency and capacity over perfection.
Medication Management (Including GLP‑1s)
We may consider medications when clinically appropriate and safe:
GLP‑1 agents (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide)
Bupropion/naltrexone for cravings
Adjuncts for sleep, mood, and impulse control
Safety & Eligibility Notes
GLP‑1s are not first‑line for everyone; we review risks, benefits, cost, supply, and reproductive plans.
Not recommended during pregnancy, preconception, and lactation; shared decision‑making is standard.
We follow evidence‑based titration and monitoring to minimize side effects (nausea, constipation, gallbladder risk, etc.).
If medications aren’t a fit, we build a non‑med pathway that still moves you forward.

FAQs
Do you prescribe GLP‑1s?
Yes—when clinically appropriate and available. We’ll discuss cost, insurance hurdles, side effects, and reproductive timing.
Is this safe if I’m trying to conceive, pregnant, or breastfeeding?
We individualize care. Some medications are contraindicated; others require timing adjustments. We’ll outline options and non‑med pathways.
Do I have to track calories?
No. We prefer simple, repeatable patterns and mindful check‑ins.
Can I work with my current therapist or PCP?
Absolutely—we coordinate as needed.
