Where precision science meets real support

Obesity is not an aesthetic issue or a “personal failure.” It is a complex alteration of metabolic balance influenced by biology, hormones, behavior, stress and environment. When you intervene with method and monitoring, the body responds.

In our Unit we do not pursue “diets” or quick solutions: we design a structured clinical process to improve health, functionality, body composition and sustainability.

Our approach is inspired by the comprehensive and multidisciplinary management of the Spanish GIRO Guide (SEEDO) and current positions in dietary treatment.

A centre designed to be a reference

  • Coordinated program: the team is organized around the patient.
  • True personalization: considering culture, schedules, preferences, family and work context.
  • Measurement and adjustment: clinical objectives, cardiometabolic markers, and functional outcomes.
  • Ongoing support: structured follow-up, motivational reinforcement, and relapse prevention.

Coordinated Multidisciplinary Team

Endocrinology – Advanced Clinical Nutrition – Clinical Psychology – Therapeutic Exercise prescribed by Physiotherapy – Surgery.
Coordination translates into a single plan, shared objectives, and consistent clinical decisions at every stage.

Three levels of intervention

Level Profile
Initial Metabolic Program Overweight or mild obesity without relevant comorbidity.
Intensive Multidisciplinary Program Moderate obesity or metabolic disorders (e.g., insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, sleep apnea, fatty liver).
High Complexity Program Severe obesity or multiple comorbidities, considering surgery when appropriate.

A journey designed to transform

1. Advanced comprehensive assessment
Clinical history objectives; body composition and adiposity distribution; cardiometabolic profile, eating behavior; sleep and stress; functional capacity.

2. Customized strategic plan
A viable nutritional structure, metabolic education, a therapeutic exercise plan, and progressive goals. It is tailored to culture, schedules, and preferences.

3. Coordinated intervention
Nutrition, psychology, endocrinology, and, when indicated, bariatric/metabolic management. Aligned clinical decisions and shared follow-up.

4. Continuous support
Scheduled reviews, dynamic adjustments, motivational support, and relapse prevention. The goal is to sustain change, not just initiate it.

Therapeutic pillars

Endocrinology
Endocrinological assessment and pharmacological management when appropriate, integrated into the overall plan.

Advanced clinical nutrition
Evidence-based strategies for adherence and sustainability, without extreme approaches.
Nutritional education and realistic planning.

Clinical Psychology
Interventions on eating behavior, self-control, stress management, and the relationship with food. Practical tools to sustain change.

Therapeutic exercise from a physiotherapy perspective
A progressive program designed to improve functional capacity, muscle mass, and energy expenditure.
It prioritizes safety, consistency, and measurable results.

Surgery
Indicated in selected cases; preoperative preparation and comprehensive follow-up with nutritional, psychological and physical support.

Clinical coaching: the differentiator

We don’t just hand out instructions and disappear. We guide the process with structure and a positive attitude: we set realistic goals, anticipate obstacles, reinforce adherence, and maintain focus when motivation drops.

Success doesn’t depend on “doing it perfectly.” It depends on maintaining consistent habits and adjusting the plan when life changes.

What we measure and why

The scale is only one part. We measure indicators that reflect real improvement in health and functional performance.

  • Body composition (fat mass / lean mass) and abdominal circumference
  • Glycemic control and insulin sensitivity (according to clinical criteria)
  • Lipid profile and blood pressure (according to medical follow-up)
  • Functional capacity, strength, and exertion tolerance
  • Sleep, stress, and adherence (behavioral variables)
  • Quality of life and sustainability of the plan

Results we seek

  • Improved metabolic and cardiometabolic regulation
  • More muscle mass and better functional capacity
  • Less inflammation and lower risk associated with visceral adiposity
  • A more stable relationship with food and fewer episodes of control loss
  • Energy, body confidence, and consistency over time

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need surgery to get results?
Not necessarily. Surgery is a tool for selected cases. The plan is defined after a comprehensive evaluation.

How long does the program last?
It depends on the assigned level. The objective is a tool for selected cases. The plan is defined after a comprehensive assessment.

What if I’ve gained weight before?
It’s common. We work on relapse prevention and adherence strategies. It’s not about “starting from scratch,” but about adjusting the system.

Do you offer remote monitoring?
Follow-up is tailored to the patient. It may combine in-person visits with remote support when appropriate.

Commitment to Quality

Our standard is simple: clinical rigor, clarity, and compassion. Every plan is evidence-based, tailored to real-life situations, and reviewed using metrics. The goal is for the patient to rely not on “motivation,” but on a system that works.

  • Stigma-free, person-centered communication
  • Realistic and measurable goals
  • Coordinated decisions among specialists
  • Structured follow-up and relapse prevention
