Control of body weight is a comprehensive medical challenge that goes far beyond counting calories or restrictive diets. Hormonal, metabolic, genetic and lifestyle factors interact in the development of overweight, obesity and insulin resistance.
Through telemedicine medical consultation with the Dr. Dino González (Physician U. de los Andes, Reg. MINSAL SIS N° 3636), we address your health in a scientific, safe and personalized way from anywhere in Chile.
What does the weight control medical evaluation consist of?
During the medical teleconsultation we carry out an exhaustive clinical analysis that includes:
- Clinical and metabolic history: Evaluation of personal and family history, historical weight fluctuations and previous treatments.
- Rule out underlying pathologies: Detection of clinical signs associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypothyroidism, fatty liver or polycystic ovary syndrome.
- Request for laboratory tests: Issuance of medical order for lipid profile, basal blood glucose and insulin (HOMA index), glycosylated hemoglobin, thyroid and liver function.
- Personalized pharmacological strategy: When there is a clinical indication and in accordance with current medical guidelines, evaluation for the indication of approved medications (such as GLP-1 agonists, bupropion/naltrexone, metformin, among others) with their respective digital medical prescription.
- Sustainable habits plan: Medical nutritional guidance and physical activity guidelines adapted to your daily reality, without extreme measures or rebound effects.
Modern and safe pharmacological treatment
Advances in metabolic medicine have shown that obesity is a chronic disease that in many cases requires pharmacological medical support. Modern medications help regulate the brain's satiety centers, reduce compulsive appetite, and improve insulin sensitivity.
All drug treatment requires strict medical indication and supervision, evaluating contraindications, adverse effects and progressive dose adjustment.
Continuous monitoring and periodic controls
Long-term success is based on medical support. Through monthly telemedicine check-ups we evaluate your progress, review your control exams, adjust doses and consolidate healthy and lasting goals.
