Obesity therapy and nutritional advice

A great number of the population are now overweight and/or obese, and this represents an enormous burden for those affected – both physically and mentally. Our obesity medicine practice in Zurich offers comprehensive diagnostics, in-depth consultations, and a personalised treatment approach to provide you with expert professional support on your path to a healthier life.

We consult the latest scientific research and use modern diagnostics to develop personalised care treatments tailored to your needs. Our goal is to provide long-term support and help you achieve sustainable success.

Causes, risks and our treatment approach

Today, one in two Europeans are overweight, and one in five is obese, which is why the WHO has classified obesity as a global epidemic. A variety of reasons have lead to this disparity. If left untreated, obesity leads to associated comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure,  lipid metabolism disorders, sleep apnea, cancer, and osteoarthritis. These complications often severely limit the quality of life and life expectancy of those affected.

In our practice, we offer comprehensive diagnostics, counselling, and treatment for overweight individuals. Our services include bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA, body composition measurement), calorimetry, and preoperative and postoperative care for gastric surgery.

As a practice specialising in obesity and nutritional medicine, we provide you with care based on the latest scientific findings. To recommend the optimal treatment you need, we work closely with an interdisciplinary team consisting of surgeons, diabetologists, psychologists, and nutritionists.

How to prepare for your initial consultation

If you would like to do so, you can prepare for the initial consultation by bringing a nutrition log. This is very helpful because it allows us to get to know your habits during the first session and thus informs our discussion.

In order to get the most accurate and realistic picture, it is very important that EVERYTHING you eat and drink is noted down - also recording the exact quantities in the log wherever possible.

 If you prefer to work online, you can fill out a log at http://fddb.info/. Even with electronic recording, it's still very important to ensure no information is overlooked. So it's helpful to record or enter everything about meals, and all snacks between meals, immediately after consumption.

It's also very effective if you've already given the whole matter some careful thought prior to the hypnosis session. However, this is an option but not a requirement.
