A Different Approach to Weight Management
Most weight loss programs focus only on calories or medication.
​
At Dynamic Psychiatry & Wellness, we take a broader approach by addressing the underlying factors that influence weight, including metabolism, hormones, behavior patterns, and brain regulation.
Our goal is not short-term weight loss, but sustainable improvement in metabolic health and long-term outcomes.
​
Treatment recommendations are individualized based on laboratory findings, metabolic patterns, and clinical presentation.
Where to Start
Most patients begin with a Comprehensive Wellness Evaluation, which includes a detailed clinical assessment, targeted lab testing, and a follow-up visit to develop a personalized treatment plan.
This process allows us to identify underlying contributors to weight gain such as metabolic dysfunction, hormone imbalance, or insulin resistance before initiating treatment.
​
Treatment begins with this evaluation before starting medication or structured weight management programs.

Medical Weight Management & GLP-1 Therapy in Utah
Our structured model is physician directed and integrates metabolic optimization with behavioral support.
What Contributes to Weight Gain
Weight gain is rarely caused by a single factor. It often involves multiple interacting systems, including:
​
• metabolic dysfunction
• hormonal imbalance
• insulin resistance
• stress and emotional regulation
• sleep disruption
• behavioral patterns related to food
Effective treatment requires addressing these factors together rather than focusing on a single intervention.
​
Sustainable weight management requires addressing underlying physiologic drivers rather than relying on short-term interventions alone.
Structured Support & Accountability
Many patients benefit from combining medical treatment with structured guidance.
This may include:
• ongoing progress monitoring​

GLP-1 & Medication Strategy
When clinically appropriate, treatment may include GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide.
​
Medication is never prescribed in isolation.
It is integrated within a structured program that includes:
-
Ongoing medical monitoring
-
Dose titration
-
Side-effect management
-
Metabolic assessment
Our goal is metabolic precision — not rapid fluctuation.
Why Metabolic Optimization
Weight regulation is not simply a willpower issue.
It is influenced by:
​
-
Insulin sensitivity
-
Stress physiology
Short-term dieting fails because it does not address underlying metabolic drivers.
Our program focuses on long-term physiological correction and sustainable regulation.
​
In some cases, treatments such as TMS may help reduce cravings and support behavior change related to eating patterns.
Integrated Support Model
Medical weight management at Dynamic Psychiatry & Wellness may include:
​
-
Physician or nurse practitioner oversight
-
Therapy integration for emotional or stress-driven eating
-
Hormone evaluation when indicated
This integrated model improves sustainability and reduces relapse risk.
Behavioral & Neurobiological Drivers of Overeating
For some individuals, weight challenges are driven by neurobiological reward pathways and stress-activated eating patterns rather than simple caloric imbalance.
​
When clinically indicated, our program may address:
​
Support may include:
​
-
Therapy integration with clinicians trained in structured behavioral intervention
-
Medication management when appropriate
-
Hormone rebalancing with the thyroid, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone
Addressing these drivers improves sustainability and reduces relapse risk.
​
This approach allows us to treat the underlying drivers of overeating rather than relying solely on appetite suppression.
Body Composition & Data
Scale weight does not equal metabolic health.
​
We use structured body composition analysis to evaluate:
​
-
Lean muscle mass
-
Fat mass
-
Metabolic trends
-
Long-term progress
Data-driven tracking allows for precision adjustments over time.
Who This Is For?
This program may be appropriate for:
​
-
Individuals with metabolic resistance
-
Patients seeking structured GLP-1 oversight
-
Individuals experiencing weight regain
-
Patients integrating hormone optimization
-
High-performing professionals prioritizing metabolic efficiency
-
​Individuals struggling with binge eating or stress-activated eating patterns
Services are available to both psychiatric and non-psychiatric individuals.
Investment
Comprehensive medical weight management programs begin at $600 and include a full diagnostic evaluation with physician-guided treatment planning.
​
This process goes beyond standard assessments by integrating advanced lab analysis, medication strategy, and individualized clinical oversight to address the underlying drivers of weight, metabolism, and overall health.
Final investment varies based on the complexity of your treatment plan, including medication selection, laboratory findings, and the level of ongoing clinical support required.
Structured membership options are available for individuals seeking long-term metabolic optimization, performance improvement, and sustained results.
To begin your evaluation, call or text 801-349-2480 to schedule your metabolic consultation.
What Most Patients Can Expect
Most patients begin with an initial evaluation to develop a personalized treatment plan and determine the most appropriate approach based on their goals and physiology.
​
After getting started, many patients transition into a follow-up schedule every 2–3 months to monitor progress, adjust treatment, and maintain results.
For patients using medical weight management strategies, including medications when appropriate, the typical ongoing cost is approximately $700 every 3 months, depending on the specific plan and treatment approach.
Our goal is to create a plan that is both effective and sustainable, with adjustments made over time based on your progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use GLP-1 medications to participate?
No. Medication is recommended only when clinically appropriate. Some individuals pursue structured metabolic optimization without GLP-1 therapy.
How long will I need to stay on medication?
Duration varies depending on metabolic response and long-term goals. Ongoing medical oversight allows for thoughtful adjustment.
Is body composition testing required?
Body composition analysis is strongly recommended to track metabolic progress beyond scale weight alone.
Do you treat binge eating disorder?
When clinically indicated, binge eating disorder and stress-driven eating patterns may be addressed through therapy, medication management, and structured TMS protocols.
Why Quality Matters
Not all peptides, hormones and supplements are created equal. Products available online or through non-medical sources can vary significantly in purity, potency, and consistency.
​​
At Dynamic Psychiatry & Wellness, all peptide and supplement therapies for weight management are sourced through reputable, medically established suppliers and used within a structured treatment plan.
