Metabolism & weight.
Weight is not a matter of willpower. Insulin resistance, thyroid, cycle, menopause and medication interact — and are rarely looked at together. We are planning a clinic that considers metabolism as part of women's health: diagnostics instead of advice. Register your interest if this matters to you.
I eat little and still gain weight.
That's rarely about discipline. Insulin, thyroid and hormones change how your body works
Is there an injection for this?
Sometimes it makes sense. But first we measure why it's stuck — otherwise we treat blindly
Obesity is a chronic condition with a hormonal component — not a character flaw.

A clinic that does not simply delegate metabolism to a dietitian:
Detailed history: cycle, weight trajectory, medication, family history, sleep, stress. What started when — and what changed?
Fasting insulin and glucose (HOMA index), HbA1c, thyroid, androgens, vitamin D, iron status — read as one picture, not as isolated values.
We explain what the results mean: what is hormonal, what is lifestyle, what belongs to another specialty — and what is simply normal.
Nutritional medicine, diabetology, exercise therapy: if it belongs elsewhere, we say so — and refer you directly instead of sending you in circles.
Who is it for?
- ·Weight gain despite an unchanged lifestyle
- ·Known or suspected PCOS
- ·Cycle disorders with a metabolic component
- ·Weight changes during menopause
- ·Suspected insulin resistance in the family
- ·A wish to be assessed before someone says “diet and exercise”
Metabolism clinic — register your interest.
No subscription, no commitment. We will contact you once — as soon as this service launches, with full details and pricing.
What you should know.
Will I get weight-loss injections here?
This clinic is first and foremost a diagnostic clinic. We clarify what is behind the change. Whether drug therapy is appropriate at all, and who prescribes it, follows from that — not the other way round.
Isn't this a job for my GP?
Often, yes. But cycle, menopause and PCOS are explicitly gynaecological topics — and this is precisely where the link to metabolism tends to be missed. We close that gap and work together with your GP.
What does it cost?
Medically indicated services remain covered by statutory insurance. Additional laboratory diagnostics and extended consultations will partly be self-pay services. We will publish prices at launch — you always receive a written cost plan beforehand.
No need to wait: many of these topics can already be discussed in our regular consultations today.
