Wellness & Weight Management in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL
Improve mental health through sustainable weight and wellness. The relationship between weight and mental health is bidirectional — psychiatric medications can cause weight gain, while excess weight worsens depression, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances. At Peace & Heart Wellness, we address both sides simultaneously with an integrated approach that produces lasting results.
Integrate nutrition, hormones, and behavior for lasting mind-body results. Our wellness program begins with comprehensive lab testing to identify hormonal, metabolic, and nutritional factors driving weight challenges. We then create a personalized plan that may include hormone optimization, medication adjustment, nutritional guidance, and behavioral strategies tailored to your specific biology.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's small size means limited local healthcare options, and residents often need to travel for specialized psychiatric care. Our telehealth services bridge this gap, and our Hollywood office is accessible via A1A or I-95 for initial evaluations requiring the thoroughness of an in-person visit.
Unlike quick-fix diet programs, our approach treats the root causes of weight challenges. Thyroid dysfunction, cortisol imbalances, insulin resistance, and sex hormone deficiencies all directly impact weight — and all respond to targeted medical treatment. We test for these factors before recommending any weight management intervention.

Serving Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a charming beachfront town of about 6,500 residents in Broward County, known for its world-class diving and snorkeling reef, pedestrian-friendly downtown, and relaxed coastal atmosphere. Despite the serene setting, residents here face the same mental health challenges as the broader South Florida community — anxiety, depression, hormonal changes, and the isolation that can accompany small-town coastal living. Our comprehensive psychiatric services are available both in-person and via telehealth for your convenience.
Dr. Chatelier's psychiatric expertise is uniquely valuable in weight management because emotional eating, stress-driven cravings, and medication-related weight gain require clinical understanding of the brain-body connection. Our patients achieve sustainable results because we address the psychological, hormonal, and behavioral dimensions of weight together.
