Why an assessment comes first
Weight is rarely only about willpower
Many factors can influence body weight, and they are different for each person. A medical assessment helps to understand what may be relevant in your case before choosing an approach.
Hormonal background
Thyroid function and insulin sensitivity are among the factors laboratory tests can help to assess.
Sleep and stress
Short nights, long working days and stress can affect appetite, energy and daily routine.
City routine
Office hours, driving everywhere and a hot summer that keeps activity indoors make steady habits harder.
Our approach
A clinical, step-by-step approach
Every recommendation is based on a consultation and your test results — not on a one-size-fits-all diet.
- 1
Personalised assessment
A consultation with a doctor about your health history, goals, nutrition, sleep and daily routine.
- 2
Laboratory diagnostics
If needed, the doctor recommends a check-up — for example thyroid function, glucose and insulin markers or a lipid profile.
- 3
Doctor consultation
The doctor explains your results and discusses which options may suit you — and which may not.
- 4
Individual programme
If a programme is appropriate, it is built around your results and goals, with follow-up visits to review progress.
Results differ from person to person. A doctor will discuss realistic goals with you during the consultation.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What happens at the first consultation?
The doctor discusses your health history, goals and daily routine, reviews any recent test results you bring and suggests next steps — usually starting with laboratory diagnostics.
Do I need tests before a programme?
The doctor decides which tests are relevant after the consultation. Laboratory results help to base any programme on your own data rather than on a generic plan.
Can I bring my previous test results?
Yes. Bring recent results and medical documents — the doctor will review them and tell you whether additional tests are needed.
How long does a programme last?
It depends on your goals and results and is agreed with the doctor. Follow-up visits are planned to review progress and adjust the plan.
How much does it cost?
The cost depends on the consultation, tests and programme the doctor recommends. Our team will confirm current prices when you book.
