Metabolic Psychiatry
Psychiatric care that accounts for your whole metabolic picture.
Psychiatric medications can meaningfully affect weight, blood sugar, and metabolic health — and metabolic health, in turn, can affect mood, energy, and psychiatric symptoms. This consultation looks at both sides of that relationship, rather than treating them as separate concerns.
Areas of Focus
Medication selection with metabolic side effects in mind
Managing weight changes related to current psychiatric medications
Psychiatric evaluation for patients with existing metabolic conditions (e.g., diabetes, PCOS/PMOS, obesity)
Coordination with GLP-1 medication use and its psychiatric considerations
General psychiatric consultation for patients who want a metabolically-informed approach to care
Training in Obesity Medicine
Dr. Frazier completed the Harvard Medical School Blackburn Course in Obesity Medicine, bringing a metabolic lens to psychiatric evaluation and treatment planning.
What’s Included
Metabolic Psychiatric Consultation
A 60–90 minute, in-depth psychiatric consultation informed by training through the Harvard Medical School Blackburn Course in Obesity Medicine — addressing the intersection of mental health, psychiatric medications, and metabolic risk.
Review of current medications and metabolic risk factors, including medication-related effects on weight, glucose, and lipid metabolism
Assessment of relevant metabolic health markers (e.g., weight/BMI trends, available labs such as A1c, fasting glucose, or lipid panel, and family history of diabetes or cardiovascular disease)
Personalized treatment recommendations, balancing psychiatric symptom management with metabolic risk reduction
Coordination considerations with your primary care provider or endocrinologist, so your care team stays aligned
Written summary and recommendations you can share with your providers or reference on your own
Who This is For
Patients concerned about weight changes on their current psychiatric medication
Patients with diabetes, PMOS (formerly PCOS), or other metabolic conditions seeking psychiatric care that takes this into account
Patients on GLP-1 medications with questions about mood or psychiatric medication interactions
Anyone seeking general psychiatric care from a physician with specific training in the metabolic side of mental health
