More about your care

What is it?

Obesity (BMI ≥ 30) is a chronic disease recognised by the international medical community. It is characterised by excess body fat that can interfere with normal bodily function.

Far from being an aesthetic issue or a matter of willpower, obesity involves alterations in the regulatory mechanisms of appetite and metabolism. The medical approach takes this complexity into account.

Obesity treatment requires a comprehensive, personalised approach. No single solution works for everyone, and the doctor helps find the right combination for each person.

Read the full condition information

Obesity is a complex medical condition. The doctor evaluates metabolic, hormonal and cardiovascular factors before proposing any option.

HOW COMMON IT IS

According to WHO, almost one in four adults in the European Region lives with obesity.

OMS / WHO

CAUSES

  • Genetic predisposition affecting energy metabolism and appetite regulation
  • Hormonal factors altering satiety signals and fat storage
  • Food environments with high availability of ultra-processed foods
  • Sedentary lifestyle and reduced daily energy expenditure
  • Psychological factors such as chronic stress, anxiety or mood disorders
  • Certain medical conditions and medications that contribute to weight gain

TREATMENT APPROACHES

  • Comprehensive medical evaluation with full blood work and comorbidity assessment
  • Individualised nutritional plan supervised by a healthcare professional
  • Progressive physical activity programme adapted to each person's limitations
  • Behavioural therapy to address eating habits and patterns
  • Pharmacological treatment under medical supervision for selected cases
  • Assessment for bariatric surgery in cases of severe obesity meeting defined criteria

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR

See a doctor if your BMI is ≥ 30 or if excess weight is affecting your quality of life, mobility, or is associated with other conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

Read the refund terms
Obesity sits within the weight management area that Hi Doctor covers. Our doctors review your case individually, not through an algorithm, and propose a therapeutic approach when indicated.
You fill in a weight management-oriented medical questionnaire (~5 min). An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical history, current medication, allergies and background in less than 2 hours on average. If clarifications are needed, they message you via the private chat in your account.
The doctor proposes the most appropriate treatment among those authorised in the EU for weight management. The weight-loss plan is €25/month. Other areas: €15/month (billed €45 every 90 days) for hair growth, €35 per sexual health consultation and €40 per skin consultation. If your case is not eligible, the applicable fee is refunded in full.
It depends on the case. For weight management, reasonable timelines are explained during the consultation and follow-up lives inside the private chat. The full medical record stays in an auditable thread inside your account.
Yes. Hi Doctor runs 100% online across the EU, so from Lyon you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The EU-licensed doctor issues the electronic prescription under Directive 2011/24/EU, and each pharmacy decides whether it can dispense it; outside Spain some pharmacies do not accept PDF prescriptions, and those that do dispense the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
Adults with BMI ≥ 30, or ≥ 27 with comorbidities (hypertension, type-2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia). The doctor reviews your history, current medication and goals before proposing any treatment. It is not a cosmetic programme.
The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by an EU-licensed doctor. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose). Each pharmacy decides whether it can dispense it. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, some pharmacies do not accept PDF prescriptions, and those that do dispense the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
1) Fill in an online medical questionnaire in about 4 minutes. 2) The weight-loss plan is €25/month. Other areas: €15/month (billed €45 every 90 days) for hair growth, €35 per sexual health consultation and €40 per skin consultation. 3) An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case and, if appropriate, issues an electronic prescription. 4) Collect it at the pharmacy you choose; each pharmacy decides whether it can dispense it.
