Metabolic & Neuroregulatory Care in Charleston, SC
Mental health and metabolic health are closely interconnected. Hormones, stress physiology, inflammation, and nervous system regulation all influence energy levels, appetite signaling, and overall well-being. At Urban Flora Psychiatry, we take a whole-body, brain–gut–informed approach that focuses on regulation and long-term health rather than quick fixes.
This service is designed for individuals seeking thoughtful, sustainable support for metabolic balance, appetite regulation, and mental well-being.
A Whole Body Perspective on Weight
Weight challenges are rarely about willpower. Metabolic health, hormones, gut function, sleep, stress, and mental health all play a role.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. We emphasize sustainable, enjoyable changes that support both your metabolism and emotional wellbeing—without rigid rules or deprivation.
Mental health is central. We address stress, emotional eating, mood, and self-image alongside metabolic factors to create lasting, compassionate change.
This integrative approach is designed for individuals whose symptoms are rooted in deeper metabolic and neurological imbalances.
Ideal candidates often experience:
- Weight gain related to psychiatric medications
- Emotional or stress-driven eating patterns
- Insulin resistance or elevated A1C levels
- PCOS or other forms of hormonal dysregulation
- Chronic inflammation
- Depression accompanied by fatigue or brain fog
- ADHD with binge-eating behaviors
Many patients notice improved energy, mood stability, and gradual healthy weight shifts within weeks to months, with continued support for sustainable progress.
Many mental health symptoms, like anxiety, depression, fatigue, poor focus, and emotional eating, are worsened by metabolic dysregulation.
GLP-1 medications help regulate blood sugar, inflammation, appetite signaling, and reward pathways in the brain. For some patients, this leads to improvements not just in weight, but also mood, energy, and cognitive clarity.
