On 11 October, we celebrated World Obesity Day with an Open Day where the clinic provided free medical consultations with an endocrinologist and registered dietitian.

The specialists at Regina Life Clinic dedicated their entire day to patients and provided them with a medical consultation, InBody test (accurate analysis of water balance, muscle mass, fat and more..), lab test, and personalized recommendations for a healthy and balanced diet.

“Today, obesity is a serious health problem that continues to be overlooked. Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for a number of chronic diseases. It is of utmost importance for our clinic to be of help to our patients and that is why we have decided to dedicate October 11 to people with a weight problem. And this is just the first step of a bigger initiative,” said Dr. Rayna Stoyanova, endocrinologist at Regina Life Clinic.

Overweight and obesity can also be determined by body mass index (BMI). It is determined by dividing weight in kilograms by height in square meters (kg/m2). You can access the Regina Life Clinic health calculator here.
