NUTRITION AND MEDICINE

We have a team of nutritionists and dieticians who treat obesity in a Internal Medicine and Endocrinology team.

They are professionals with solid training and extensive experience, who are committed to education, research and above all, providing personalised medical attention to help prevent and treat endocrine disorders.

Not only do we provide dietary therapy for obesity and excess weight, we also give nutritional support for metabolic diseases such as diabetes or problems with cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Endocrinology includes all the diseases resulting from or associated with disorders of the endocrine glands secreting hormones internally (pituitary gland, thyroids, pancreas, and adrenal glands). It also covers the treatment of altered dietary habits that cause obesity, nutritional counselling and advice for eating disorders.

Excess weight and obesity are modern-day epidemics that seriously affect western society. The expectations of extreme weight loss, the difficulties encountered when trying to change habits, the diets that are impossible to follow on a daily basis, the feeling of failure following previous attempts to lose weight, the lack of motivation from certain health care professionals or tackling the problem using recrimination, are some of the reasons why treatment fails. The possibilities of our Medical service range from providing patients with nutritional advice to keep their weight down to the pre-evaluation that is needed before surgery, if it is deemed necessary in the case of morbid obesity.

MORE INFORMATION

We use a special methodology that is far from being a miracle diet or recommendations that cannot be followed through. Our method involves the patient and the medical team that studies the patient’s lifestyle and their relationship with food in great detail; with the help of a notebook in which the patient notes down their daily activities.
This enables us to pinpoint situations that can be improved; we guide and carry out a suitable overall follow-up for each case that is appropriate for the different habits.

Our professionals have and do take part in the development of safe and effective drugs that are approved by the health authorities. Furthermore, they help patients design and stick to an all-round programme to change habits and reach a healthier weight.

Thanks to our excellent team of professionals, we provide patients with a unique kind of personalised, comprehensive nutritional advice. We focus on each individual case, evaluating the patient’s habits, timetable, tastes and lifestyle; associating risk factors with a possible nutritional imbalance. During our medical consultations we calculate patients’ nutritional needs and their ideal weight, taking into account different variables such as weight, height, gender, age, physical condition and level of daily exercise. The objectives are always agreed upon between the professional and the patient.
