Therapeutic approach
Our approach is integrated: combining the best drugs with lifestyle changes and nutritional support. In type 2 diabetes, algorithms with metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists and, if needed, insulin with continuous monitoring. In thyroid, fine levothyroxine adjustments or hyperthyroidism treatment. In obesity, plans with psychological support and latest-generation drug therapy.
