Weight and Metabolic Health Service

Specialist Weight & Metabolic Health Service

Your health deserves more than a number on a scale. It deserves expert medical care, built entirely around you.

A New Standard in Metabolic Health Care

Obesity is not a lifestyle choice. It is a complex, chronic medical condition — shaped by genetics, hormones, metabolism, psychology, and environment. Yet for too long, people living with excess weight have been offered inadequate support, dismissed, or left to navigate their health alone.

At Gorwel Medical Services, we are changing that.

Our dedicated Weight & Metabolic Health Service delivers a level of specialist medical care that is rigorous, compassionate, and uncompromisingly personal. Led by a doctor with specialist postgraduate training and five years of dedicated clinical experience in obesity and metabolic medicine, this is a service built on expertise, evidence, and genuine partnership with our patients.

Your Specialist

Our service is led by Dr Carmen Munteanu (Dip.in Obesity and Overweight Management from the University of South Wales), who has extensive knowledge , expertise who offers focused clinical experience in managing obesity, metabolic syndrome, and their associated conditions.

This is not a generic weight loss programme. This is specialist medical care — delivered by a clinician who understands the science, the complexity, and the deeply personal nature of your health journey.

What We Offer

Full Clinical Assessment & Physical Examination

Your journey begins with a thorough, unhurried consultation. Your doctor will take a comprehensive medical history, conduct a full physical examination, and undertake a detailed clinical assessment to understand your health in its entirety — not just your weight.
This includes identification and evaluation of any underlying conditions contributing to, or resulting from, excess weight, with a personalised plan developed specifically for you.

Body Composition Analysis — Initial & regularly monitored through your clinical management

Weight alone tells only part of the story. At your initial appointment and every six months thereafter, we conduct a full body composition assessment, measuring:

• Total body fat mass and distribution
  
• Lean muscle mass
  
• Visceral fat levels
  
• Metabolic rate indicators
  

This ensures that your treatment preserves and builds lean muscle tissue — not just reduces weight — and gives us precise, objective data to guide and optimise your care throughout your journey.

Diagnosis & Active Management of Metabolic Co-Morbidities

Obesity rarely exists in isolation. Our service identifies and actively manages the full spectrum of associated metabolic conditions, including:

• Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes
  
• Metabolic syndrome
  
• Insulin resistance
  
• Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) - formerly known as PCOS - recognised under the new international nomenclature as a condition rooted in metabolic and endocrine dysfunction
  
• Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) and Metabolic dysfunction-Associated SteatoHepatitis (MASH) — the current internationally recognised terminology for fatty liver disease linked to metabolic dysfunction
  
• Hypertension and cardiovascular risk
  
• Obstructive sleep apnoea
  
• Dyslipidaemia
  

Treating these conditions alongside weight is not optional — it is central to restoring your long-term health.

Individualised Nutrition & Physical Activity Plans

No calorie-counting templates. No unrealistic exercise regimes. Your nutrition and physical activity guidance is developed specifically around your body composition data, your lifestyle, your preferences, and your personal goals — and refined as you progress.

Motivational Interviewing & Behavioural Support

Sustainable change begins with understanding — not instruction. Using evidence-based motivational interviewing techniques, your doctor will work with you to explore your own goals, identify the barriers that have held you back, and build the confidence and strategies to move forward.

This is a non-judgemental, supportive space. Always.

Anti-Obesity Medication — Oral & Injectable

Where clinically appropriate, we prescribe and carefully manage the full range of modern anti-obesity pharmacotherapy, including:

• Oral anti-obesity agents
  
• Injectable therapies, including the latest GLP-1 receptor agonists
  

All prescribing is conducted by your doctor, with thorough clinical assessment, ongoing safety monitoring, and dose titration at every stage.

Monthly Reviews — Online & by Video Consultation

Consistency of support is central to lasting outcomes. You will have dedicated monthly review appointments — conducted conveniently online or by video call — to:

• Review your progress and body composition trajectory
  
• Adjust your treatment plan as needed
  
• Address any concerns or side effects promptly
  
• Celebrate your milestones
  

You are never left alone between appointments.
