What we treat

Useful information on each condition, written by Dr. Carzoglio

Open each card to read a clinical summary, identify warning signs and, if you wish, request your consultation.

Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial and inflammatory disease. It is not solved with willpower: it requires a medical approach combining metabolic, hormonal and nutritional assessment.

How we approach it

  • Complete clinical assessment: body composition, metabolic and hormonal profile.
  • Individualised treatment according to the cause (insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, microbiota, stress, sleep).
  • When appropriate, responsible use of evidence-based medication (GLP-1 analogues).
  • Use of cognitive-behavioural tools to promote sustainable habit change and improve treatment adherence.

Signs to watch for

  • • BMI above 30 or progressive weight gain
  • • Fatigue, food-related anxiety or binge eating
  • • Failed diet attempts or rebound weight gain

We work in a 60-minute medical consultation, with a personalised plan and regular follow-up.

Initial Metabolic Health Assessment

Find out your BMI and receive a free personalised report by email.

BMI is an initial orientation tool. Metabolic health also depends on body fat distribution, body composition, waist circumference, medical history and other clinical factors.

What does this tool assess?

Body mass index (BMI)
The relationship between your weight and your height. WHO references: underweight < 18.5; healthy 18.5–24.9; overweight 25–29.9; obesity ≥ 30.
Waist circumference (optional)
It measures visceral abdominal fat, the type most closely linked to insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk.

What is BMI?

It is an indicator that relates weight to height in order to classify an adult's nutritional status.

Is BMI enough to diagnose obesity?

No. It is complemented with waist circumference, body composition, clinical history and, sometimes, metabolic testing.

Why does metabolic health matter?

Because it integrates blood pressure, glucose, insulin, lipids, fatty liver and body composition, not only weight.
