If you or someone you love struggles with Binge Eating Disorder (BED), there is new hope. 💗

As an integrative psychiatrist who blends psychopharmacology with holistic care, I’ve seen how GLP-1s such as semaglutide (Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Zepbound) can dramatically reduce binge eating episodes (and even binge drinking behavior!) - often within the first 2–4 weeks of treatment. 🦋

👉 GLP-1s work by:

🌈 Targeting brain areas involved in reward-seeking and impulse control, such as the hypothalamus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex.

🌈 Decreasing food-related intrusive thoughts (“food noise”)

🌈 Slowing gastric emptying and promoting satiety and fullness faster

When combined with psychotherapy, trauma work, and lifestyle changes, GLP-1s can support deep, life-changing healing around food. 💕

If you’ve been struggling with binge eating disorder, it’s important to know that it’s not about willpower; it’s about neurobiology, and help is absolutely available 🌸

💌 At The Happiness Psychiatrist®, I provide GLP-1 therapy to patients throughout California and New York.

If you’re ready to explore whether GLP-1s could be right for you, please feel free to visit https://bit.ly/3B0vdOZ to learn more! 🦄

To your best mental health,
Dr. Ambardar 💕 😊 💗

💜 There’s an emptiness that comes from being disconnected from your own truth for too long.

💙 Many Adult Children of Narcissists know this feeling well: living carefully, choosing carefully, speaking carefully, trying not to upset anyone, while slowly losing touch with what you actually want.

💛 This is a gentle reminder that you’re absolutely allowed to be Who You Are.

💗 “Reclaim Your V.O.I.C.E.: A Healing Journey for Adult Children of Narcissists” is my upcoming signature course for people who are ready to stop self-abandoning and start living with more clarity, courage, and self-trust.

👆Sign up at the link in my bio above…I hope to see you in the course! 👆

🎙️I recently had the pleasure of joining Dr. Anthony Mazzella on The Narcissism Decoder Podcast The Narcissism Decoder for a heartfelt two-part conversation about narcissistic families and the healing journey for Adult Children of Narcissists.

🎤 In Episode 161, we explore how narcissistic families don’t always appear unhealthy or abusive from the outside.

✨They can actually appear quite shiny, stable, and even ”close”, but underneath, the children are often performing roles and are far removed from their authentic selves.

🌻 If you’ve ever felt unseen or unheard in your family-of-origin, I think you’ll enjoy this episode.

🎧 To listen to the podcast, tap the link in my bio above. And just FYI, my voice seems to be at 1.5X speed for some reason - I promise I don’t actually talk that fast! 🤭

🦋If this conversation resonates with you, I invite you to join the interest list for my upcoming course, Reclaim Your V.O.I.C.E.: Healing the Adult Children of Narcissists, which will be launching in the next few months. You’ll find the link for that in my bio too 💛

🌤️ Stay tuned for Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Mazzella coming soon!

xoxo,
Dr. Ambardar 🤗💌
