Renomé Balance — Medical Weight Loss

Renomé Balance is the clinic's physician-supervised weight-loss programme, overseen by an internal medicine and endocrinology team that includes prof. MUDr. Michal Kršek, DrSc., MBA, FEFIM. Rather than a generic diet plan, the programme starts from a medical assessment — history, metabolic and hormonal context, and current medication — and builds an individual reduction plan combining nutrition strategy, lifestyle change, and, where clinically indicated, modern pharmacological support. Progress is tracked at regular follow-ups with the medical team. For patients planning body-contouring surgery at the clinic, Balance also serves as the structured route to a stable pre-operative weight.

Sustainable weight loss is a medical problem more often than a willpower problem — hormonal status (thyroid, cortisol, insulin), medication side effects, sleep, and genetics all shape what a body does with calories. Renomé Balance approaches it accordingly, with an endocrinologist-led team. **Programme structure:** *Initial medical assessment (from 3,000 Kč):* A physician consultation covering weight history, eating patterns, previous attempts, medication review, and targeted examination. Where indicated, laboratory work-up (thyroid function, glucose/insulin metabolism, lipids) clarifies whether an endocrine or metabolic factor is working against the patient — the step most commercial diet programmes skip entirely. *Individual reduction plan:* A realistic caloric and dietary strategy built around the patient's actual life, not an idealised one — including protein targets to protect muscle mass during reduction and practical guidance rather than rigid menus. *Pharmacological support where indicated:* Modern, clinically validated weight-loss medication can be prescribed and monitored within the programme when BMI and clinical context justify it — with medical supervision of dosing, side effects, and the transition off medication. This is the key difference from non-medical programmes: prescription decisions are made by an internist/endocrinologist. *Regular follow-up:* Scheduled reviews track weight, body composition, adherence, and wellbeing, adjusting the plan as the body adapts — because plateaus are physiology, not failure. **Connection to the surgical programme:** Renomé Clinic's surgeons require a reasonably stable weight before contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty, liposuction, or body lifts — results last only when weight does. Balance provides the supervised path to that point, and after massive weight loss, the surgical team can address residual skin excess (mini to 360° abdominoplasty, body lift, thigh and arm lifts) within the same clinic. **Who it suits:** Patients with repeated unsuccessful diet attempts, suspicion of hormonal contribution to weight gain, weight regain after previous loss, or a defined goal weight ahead of planned surgery. The programme is also a clinically sensible setting for patients curious about modern anti-obesity medication but wanting proper medical oversight rather than online prescriptions.
