At Enara Health, we believe that understanding the “why” behind our behaviors is just as essential as making the “what” choices in any health journey. This year, we had the privilege of sharing this perspective at the 2024 Lifestyle Medicine Annual Conference, where our Head of Behavioral Health, Dr. Roopal Lalaji, presented on the role of early psychoeducation in obesity care. Her presentation highlighted how our platform goes beyond weight loss—it’s about equipping our patients with the emotional and psychological insights that make sustainable, whole-person health achievable.
Dr. Roopal Lalaji emphasized that, for us at Enara, obesity care means addressing the full story, including the mental and behavioral aspects that are often overlooked. We’ve designed our program to provide psychoeducation right from the start because we’ve seen the difference it makes. By helping patients reframe obesity as a complex medical issue rather than a personal failing, we create a space where they can engage with their health free of guilt or shame. When our patients come to understand their behavioral patterns, they feel empowered and motivated to make lasting changes.

The response to Dr. Lalaji’s presentation was inspiring, and it highlights the importance of our approach. She shared real-world results from our patients, showing how early psychoeducation directly supports better adherence and more meaningful weight loss outcomes. We’ve seen firsthand that patients who grasp the emotional roots of their weight challenges are more resilient and committed, fostering a strong foundation for long-term success.
We’re proud to bring this model of compassionate, science-backed care to more clinics and patients across the country. Dr. Roopal Lalaji presentation was a testament to our belief that holistic health goes beyond diet plans and exercise—it’s about creating an environment where each patient feels seen, understood, and supported. We look forward to continuing this journey and spreading our message of stigma-free, whole-person care in obesity management.
