Weight Evaluation

Weight Evaluation in Estepona and Costa del Sol

Our Weight Evaluation service looks at your medical background, lifestyle, and personal goals so we can get a better understanding of your overall health and challenges.

From there, we build a weight management plan that it is tailored to you. Nothing generic or one-size-fits-all, just something that fits your needs and is realistic to you and that you can follow day to day.

We also offer guidance on medical treatment options where appropriate, along with ongoing support to help you stay on track and make progress that lasts.

The aim is to move away from repeated yo-yo dieting cycles and frustration, and instead focus on a more steady, supported approach to long-term health and weight management

What Does the Programme Include?

Blood Tests

We test for hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid problems, cholesterol levels, and insulin resistance as part of our weight loss program. We identify and help manage conditions like diabetes, thyroid issues, and PCOS that impact your weight management.

DEXA Body Composition Scans

We can organize DEXA scans to thoroughly assess body fat percentage, muscle mass, and bone density, all of which are essential to gain a better understanding of your unique body. These scans will not only help you track progress over time but also provide invaluable insights into your overall health and wellness journey.

Specialist Referrals

When your care calls for it, we'll refer you to trusted specialists — ensuring you receive well-rounded, collaborative support every step of the way. This includes:
  • Endocrinologists, Cardiologists, and Respiratory Physicians — including assessments for sleep apnoea syndrome
  • Dietitians — for personalised dietary advice, structured meal plans, and ongoing progress tracking
  • Behavioural Therapists and Psychologists — because managing emotional eating, stress, and other psychological factors is a vital part of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight
  • Musculoskeletal Specialists — to help address chronic joint pain and injuries that may be holding you back from becoming more active
  • Physical Therapists — to support you in safely introducing exercise into your routine and building a fitter, healthier lifestyle
