The weight loss cabinet is one-of-a-kind place where it is possible to carry out individual weight analysis and determine body composition, muscle and fat mass using bioelectrical methods, and according to these results give further instructions to medics. This test helps to determine the physiological age of the person.
Patients are counselled by the weight cabinet team: the physician (endocrinologist), nutrition specialist, nurse et al.
During the weight examination, the doctor assesses the patient’s health condition and possible reasons for being overweight and determines a treatment strategy for it. The necessary tests and analyses are ordered. In addition, medicines are prescribed in accordance with the patient’s health condition, if necessary. The nutrition specialist gives practical advice, which includes weighing and measuring body proportions in all ways. Furthermore, the patient's menu is analysed and advice is given on how to increase physical activity at the right level of exercise.
The advice given in the weight cabinet helps to steer patients towards good eating habits developed by Estonian researchers.
The greatest value of the weight cabinet is that the study does not only take place once, but people can return for help continuously and regularly. Counselling a patient takes an hour and they visit the cabinet once a month on average. If necessary, counselling continues after achieving the goal weight.
The weight cabinet is a paid service.
