Medical Consultation for Weight Loss

Safe and Sustainable Results

Medical Weight Loss Consultation

At our clinic in Lisbon, we offer weight-loss consultations with Dr. Rita Marques, a physician specializing in integrative health, metabolism, and weight management. This program is recommended for people who have already tried various approaches without success and are looking for a serious, effective clinical plan tailored to how their body works.

This is a personalized treatment approach, developed based on scientific evidence and focused on safety, active listening, and sustainable results.

If you’ve tried several diets, experimented with different workout strategies, or followed meal plans without achieving lasting results, you may be dealing with deeper underlying causes—such as hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, or changes in your gut microbiota.

A medical consultation for weight loss is the first step toward understanding these causes and starting a personalized treatment plan focused on your overall health and long-term well-being.

What to Expect From Your Medical Weight Loss Consultation

  • A comprehensive and detailed clinical evaluation with Dr. Rita Marques
  • Analysis of medical history, body composition, and lifestyle
  • A treatment strategy tailored to each patient’s individual circumstances
  • The option to prescribe weight-loss medications, when clinically indicated and always safely
  • Investigation of possible causes of difficulty losing weight, such as: – Hormonal imbalances
    – Silent inflammation
    – Changes in the gut microbiota
    – Emotional and metabolic factors

Who This Consultation Is For

  • People who have tried diets and other methods without success
  • Patients with diagnosed obesity or persistent overweight
  • People who have trouble losing weight even when they eat a balanced diet
  • Patients with hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, or other metabolic factors
  • People seeking safe, compassionate, and science-based medical care

How the Treatment Protocol Works

After the initial consultation, a treatment plan may be established that includes:

  • Tailored dietary strategies
  • Guidance on Supplements and Lifestyle
  • Monitoring of Clinical Progress
  • Use of prescription medication, if necessary
  • Referral to a nutrition plan with a team specialist, if applicable

The goal is not just to lose weight, but to restore the body’s balance, improve metabolic health, and promote sustainable results.

Desde o começo, fui super bem atendida pela equipe, que é muito atenciosa e cuida de cada detalhe para que a gente se sinta confortável e bem acolhida. Fiz o microagulhamento com a profissional Elis, e só tenho elogios! Ela é super competente, explica tudo direitinho e faz o procedimento com muito cuidado. A sessão foi bem mais tranquila do que eu esperava, e o resultado ficou incrível. Recomendo demais a clínica para quem busca um tratamento de qualidade com profissionais que realmente se importam com o bem-estar do cliente!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Medication Always Necessary?

No. The medication is prescribed only when clinically indicated and always under medical supervision. Each case is evaluated on an individual basis.

Do You Use Medication for Weight Loss?

Yes, when clinically indicated, medications approved for weight management—such as GLP-1 agonists—may be included in the treatment plan. These medications are prescribed only after a detailed medical evaluation and never without an in-person consultation.

I Have PCOS, Hypothyroidism, or Insulin Resistance — Can I Book This Consultation?

Yes. Dr. Rita Marques is qualified to treat cases involving hormonal changes or metabolic disorders, taking an integrative and safe approach.

How Much Does the Medical Weight Loss Consultation Cost?

The first consultation costs €120 and includes a comprehensive medical evaluation with Dr. Rita Marques, a review of your medical history, and an assessment of your metabolic, hormonal, and digestive factors, as well as an initial treatment plan.

Follow-up appointments, when necessary, cost 100€.

Additional services, such as meal plans or lab tests, may be recommended on an individualized basis.

Do You Accept Health Insurance?

We do not deal directly with insurance companies, but we issue an invoice for the medical consultation that includes all the necessary information. The patient can submit this invoice to their insurance company and, if their plan covers it, request a reimbursement or copayment.

Why Is a Medical Approach Essential for Safe Weight Loss?

Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial condition that goes far beyond simply being overweight. It involves hormonal, inflammatory, metabolic, and behavioral changes, and is recognized by the World Health Organization as one of the major global public health challenges.

For this reason, treatment should be conducted under the supervision of a medical specialist who can identify the underlying causes and recommend personalized strategies—which may include lifestyle changes, a dietary plan, supplementation, and, when clinically indicated, the use of medication.
