Mental Health-Based Plan: Curated’s New Weight Management Program

At Curated, we’re proud to introduce a comprehensive weight management and mental health program tailored specifically for individuals living with psychiatric comorbidities. Because true progress in physical health starts by seeing and supporting the whole person, mind and body, together.

If you’ve ever struggled with your weight while also managing anxiety, depression, or another mental health condition, you’re not alone, and you’re no longer overlooked.

Why We’re Taking a Different Approach to Weight Management

Weight loss isn’t just about willpower, diets, or exercise routines. For people navigating mental health conditions, the challenges of managing weight are often far more layered — and more misunderstood — than mainstream programs account for.

Psychiatric medications can affect metabolism, increase appetite, or cause fatigue. Mood disorders and anxiety can interfere with motivation, executive functioning, and self-regulation. Even trauma or past experiences with body image can impact how someone approaches weight management. And despite these realities, most clinical approaches to weight still separate mental and physical health, expecting patients to navigate both on their own.

That’s why at Curated, we’re choosing a different path. We believe the only effective way to support sustainable weight management is by addressing physical and mental health together — not in isolation. Our program was developed by a multidisciplinary team trained to deliver compassionate, science-based care that acknowledges the full scope of a person’s needs.

What the Research Tells Us

The relationship between mental health and weight is complex — and widely under-addressed. According to the American Psychological Association, discussions around weight can be difficult even in trusted clinical settings. Many individuals living with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or other diagnoses report feeling dismissed, shamed, or simply excluded from weight-related care.

This can set off a dangerous cycle: unmanaged weight contributes to worsening mood, self-esteem, and energy levels, while untreated psychiatric symptoms make it even harder to maintain healthy routines. The longer this cycle goes unaddressed, the more it erodes motivation and quality of life.

Breaking this cycle starts with integration — coordinated care that brings psychiatric and physical health together, in one treatment plan. That’s what Curated’s program is built to provide.

What Makes Curated’s Program Different

Our approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence. Here’s what sets us apart:

Evidence-Informed

We use proven clinical protocols and the latest research in both psychiatry and metabolic health to guide care.

Medically Integrated

Psychiatric providers, primary care clinicians, and support staff work closely together to ensure treatment is safe, effective, and personalized for each patient.

Compassion-Focused

We understand that weight is a deeply personal issue, often wrapped in emotion, history, and vulnerability. Every part of our program is grounded in empathy and respect.

Treatment-Ready

We offer a full suite of services, including:

  • Comprehensive psychiatric and medical evaluations

  • Medication optimization (injectable and non-injectable options)

  • Individualized care planning and progress tracking

  • Continuous mental health support throughout the process

We don’t promise quick fixes — we prioritize lasting change. Our goal is to help patients feel better, mentally and physically, while improving long-term health outcomes in a realistic and sustainable way.

Who This Program Is For

You may be a good fit for this program if:

  • You’re currently receiving treatment for a mental health condition

  • You’ve noticed weight changes due to medication, stress, or lifestyle shifts

  • You’ve tried traditional weight loss programs but felt your mental health wasn’t fully considered

  • You’re seeking a safe, clinical setting that offers non-judgmental support

No matter where you’re starting, we’ll meet you there — and help you move forward.

Because weight isn’t just about the scale. It’s about gaining a sense of control over your health, feeling supported in your body, and being truly seen for all that you are.

If you’ve been waiting for a program that respects your mental health and your lived experience, this is it.
