Why Total Wellness Matters More Than Ever
At Alium Health, we know that true health is about more than just numbers on a scale. It’s about feeling your best—physically, mentally, and emotionally. As September marks Suicide Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to talk about how weight loss and mental health are deeply connected, and how our integrated approach can help you achieve lasting wellness.
The Connection Between Weight Loss and Mental Health
Many people start their weight loss journeys focusing only on diet or exercise. However, research shows that mental health plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable results. Anxiety, depression, or chronic stress can make it harder to stick with healthy habits. On the other hand, positive changes in physical health—like improved nutrition and regular activity can boost your mood and energy levels.
That’s why, at Alium Health, our weight loss programs include both physical and mental health support. Whether you’re struggling with motivation, emotional eating, or just need someone to talk to, our team is here for you.
September: Shining a Light on Suicide Awareness
Suicide Awareness Month is a reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health. If you or someone you love is experiencing depression, hopelessness, or thoughts of self-harm, please know you’re not alone. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Our compassionate therapists provide evidence-based care, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and more. We also offer primary care services, so you can address your health needs in one safe, supportive place.
