More about your care

What is it?

Metabolic syndrome is not a single disease but a cluster of alterations that often occur together: central obesity, elevated blood pressure, impaired fasting glucose and abnormal blood lipid levels.

This combination of factors significantly increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. It is diagnosed when a person presents at least three of these criteria.

Managing metabolic syndrome requires addressing each component in a coordinated manner. A doctor can design a plan that considers all interactions between these factors.

Read the full condition information

Metabolic syndrome isn't addressed by a single pill. The medical plan targets weight, blood pressure, lipids and glucose in parallel.

HOW COMMON IT IS

A common condition in the adult population, whose prevalence increases with age and is closely linked to the rise in overweight and sedentary lifestyles.

CAUSES

  • Central or abdominal obesity as the main driver
  • Insulin resistance affecting glucose metabolism
  • Sedentary lifestyle and lack of regular physical activity
  • Diet high in refined carbohydrates and saturated fats
  • Genetic factors predisposing to metabolic alterations

TREATMENT APPROACHES

  • Targeted weight loss under medical supervision
  • Balanced dietary plan to improve lipid and glucose profile
  • Combined aerobic and strength exercise
  • Blood pressure control through lifestyle changes and medication if needed
  • Pharmacological treatment for blood glucose and lipids as assessed by the doctor
  • Regular monitoring of metabolic markers

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR

See a doctor if you have central obesity together with high blood pressure, impaired glucose or elevated cholesterol, especially if there is a family history of cardiovascular disease or diabetes.

Read the refund terms
Metabolic syndrome 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 Ljubljana you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid at any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; outside Spain the pharmacist dispenses 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 a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses 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 any EU pharmacy. If the review is not approved, the applicable fee is refunded in full.
