Developed by Sara Gena Israel, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Balanced Mind Weight ManagementRx™ is a personalized, evidence-informed health promotion service aligned with behavior change science and evidence-based lifestyle practices. It helps individuals understand how daily habits, emotional patterns, sleep routines, and nutrition awareness can influence overall well-being, including weight-related behaviors, mood resilience, and energy.
Clients receive structured education, practical tools, and supportive accountability designed to build sustainable habits and long-term wellness.
Rx in this program refers to an evidence-informed lifestyle “prescription” consisting of education, skills, and accountability, not medication prescribing or medical diagnosis or treatment.
What Sets This Wellness Service Apart
Balanced Mind Weight ManagementRx™ is not a diet plan, medical weight-loss program, or medication-based approach.It is a personalized wellness and coaching service aligned with lifestyle medicine principles and grounded in evidence-based behavior change strategies, including:
Behavior change psychology
Motivational interviewing
Readiness assessment
SMART goal setting
Supportive accountability
Collaborative planning
You will not be told what to do. Instead, you will collaborate to create realistic, personalized changes that honor your life, values, and pace.
Why Lifestyle Habits Matter
Lifestyle habits can influence sleep quality, stress physiology, appetite cues, and day-to-day energy and mood. When routines are disrupted, especially by chronic stress, poor sleep, and inconsistent nutrition, people often notice:
- Weight fluctuations and cravings
- Fatigue and low energy
- Sleep disruption and mood changes
- Stress overload and emotional overwhelm
Many people seeking support for weight, low energy, or sleep are also working with their clinicians on cardiometabolic risk factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, or insulin resistance. That’s why each client begins with a structured lifestyle intake (habits, routines, strengths, barriers, and goals) to establish an individualized foundation for change.
This program supports sustainable habits associated with healthier patterns in:
- Metabolic wellness
- Blood pressure awareness
- Cholesterol health
- Energy levels and motivation
- Mood steadiness
- Sleep quality and daily functioning
This wellness service is designed to support whole-body balance through sustainable lifestyle habits—not quick fixes.

Step 1: Lifestyle & Mental Wellness Intake
Every client begins with a structured 60-minute intake to build a personalized foundation for change. This intake is self-pay and not billed to insurance. It includes:
- Nutrition awareness and eating patterns
- Sleep and daily rhythm review
- Stress and coping patterns
- Mood and emotional well-being check-in (non-diagnostic)
- Weight history and health context review
- Readiness for change
- Collaborative goal setting
If medical evaluation or labs (e.g., thyroid, vitamin, or hormonal levels) may be appropriate, clients are encouraged to discuss with their clinician or request an appointment at Balanced Mind Mental Health (a separate clinical practice; testing billed separately based on coverage).
Step 2: Lifestyle Wellness Coaching
After the initial assessment, clients may begin one-on-one coaching focused on building sustainable habits in areas such as:
- Emotional eating patterns and coping skills
- Sleep routines and consistency
- Movement and daily activity
- Stress resilience
- Energy and motivation
- Life-stage-aware habit support
- Healthier food relationships
- Sustainable routines and long-term habits
This coaching approach is informed by the six pillars of evidence-based lifestyle practices: predominantly plant-based nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, healthy relationships, and avoidance of harmful substances.
