Your mood and your metabolism are one conversation
Depression, anxiety, brain fog, and weight struggles often share the same biology. Metabolic psychiatry treats them together, because treating them separately is how people stay stuck.
The cycle works in both directions
Metabolic dysfunction and mood disorders feed each other. Insulin resistance, inflammation, and disrupted sleep push mood down; low mood erodes the eating, movement, and rest that metabolism depends on. Some psychiatric medications add weight gain on top. Breaking that cycle means addressing both sides at once, in one integrated plan.
That takes a clinician trained across the divide. Dr. Kabir practices psychiatry, psychotherapy, and obesity medicine together, so your weight and your mind are never treated as separate problems in separate offices.
What metabolic psychiatry includes here
GLP-1 Medications
Prescribing of GLP-1 medications for weight when clinically appropriate, with psychiatric attention to appetite, mood, and long-term sustainability that weight-only care often misses.
Comprehensive Metabolic Labs
Blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, lipids, thyroid, inflammatory markers, and nutrient status, reviewed in the context of your mental health rather than in isolation.
Ketogenic & Dietary Protocols
Guidance on ketogenic and other evidence-informed dietary approaches for mood, cognition, and weight, tailored to what you can actually sustain.
Nutraceuticals & Supplements
Evidence-informed, non-pharmaceutical options for mood and metabolic health, chosen carefully and reviewed like any other prescription.
Who this is for
Patients in California whose weight and mood are struggling together. People whose antidepressant helped their mind but hurt their metabolism. People on a GLP-1 who want a physician watching the psychological side. People who suspect their depression has a metabolic engine and want that possibility evaluated properly.
What is metabolic psychiatry?
Metabolic psychiatry is an emerging field of medicine that treats mental health conditions by addressing the metabolic processes that shape brain function: blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance, inflammation, sleep and circadian rhythm, nutrition, and body weight. Rather than treating depression or anxiety in isolation, a metabolic psychiatrist also evaluates and treats the metabolic engine underneath, using comprehensive lab work, dietary and ketogenic (metabolic) therapies, GLP-1 medications when appropriate, and careful psychiatric prescribing.
At Entheo Clinic, metabolic psychiatry is available by telehealth to patients across California. Because Dr. Kabir trained in both psychiatry and obesity medicine, a single visit can address mood, medications, weight, and metabolic labs together: one integrated treatment plan instead of two specialists who rarely compare notes.
If you're looking for a metabolic psychiatrist in California, or wondering whether ketogenic or other metabolic therapies could play a role in treating your depression, anxiety, or brain fog, a comprehensive evaluation is the natural place to start.
