Weight Management

Medical Weight Management

Weight is not a question of willpower. It is metabolism, hormones, sleep, medication and habit, and every one of those can be measured. We start with diagnostics, add nutritional guidance, and consider medication only where it is medically indicated.

The programme

What is in it

Twelve weeks as a starting point, extended for as long as it is useful. Everything runs through the same team.

Medical history, examination and a weight-related risk profile
Comprehensive blood analysis: glucose, HbA1c, insulin, lipids, thyroid, liver, iron
Body composition analysis: muscle and fat distribution, not just the number on the scale
Hormonal assessment where the history points to it
Nutritional guidance with measurable goals, not a diet plan
Assessment of whether GLP-1 medication is indicated for you
Prescription and dose escalation under medical supervision where indicated
Follow-up appointments with repeat measurements every four weeks
Coordination with an endocrinologist where insurance cover requires it
A written plan you can keep following after the programme ends

Medication

About GLP-1
medication

GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide are prescription medicines, not lifestyle products. Whether they are suitable for you is a medical decision, and never the whole plan.

Swiss basic insurance covers Wegovy from a BMI of 35, or from a BMI of 27 with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea.
For that cover, the prescription has to come from a specialist in endocrinology and diabetology or from a specialised obesity centre. We carry out the assessment, coordinate that step where it applies and stay your point of contact.
Cover also requires nutritional guidance and more physical activity alongside the medication, plus a review after about 16 weeks: at least 5 % weight loss.
Mounjaro is currently not reimbursed by basic insurance in Switzerland.
The present reimbursement rule for Wegovy runs until the end of February 2027.

Medication is never the starting point. Without diagnostics, nutritional guidance and follow-up measurement it is guesswork, and we do not prescribe it that way. If a medication is not right for you, we say so.
