General medical consultation
It is essential to see general physicians when you need to get an idea of your health. After visiting the patient, a general physician decides if thorough examinations or a specialist doctor’s advice are needed.
It is best practice to have an annual medical check-up from the age of fifty, even if health problems have not occurred yet. In fact, by identifying in advance bad habits, it is possible to modify them and prevent the onset of pathologies in the future.
When you are having your medical chek-up, the following tests are highly recommended: blood tests, stool tests, urine tests, triansaminase, electrocardiogram, and thyroid check.
Also, an abdominal ultrasound is very useful when you need to investigate the health of the liver, gallbladder, biliary tract, spleen, kidney, pancreas, stomach, large blood vessels, and the possible presence of lymph nodes.

The oncologist’s task is also to establish a strong relationship with the patient. He must precisely explain the outcome, share all the available options and related side effects, but above all he must provide psychological assistance to the patient.

A nutrition consultation is suitable for people who are generally in good health but would like to improve their relationship with food and develop healthier, more sustainable eating habits.

- Achieve or maintain a healthy weight
- Organise their meals more effectively throughout the day
- Increase their energy levels and overall wellbeing
- Follow a balanced vegetarian or vegan diet
- Receive nutritional advice tailored to their lifestyle
- Prevent imbalances caused by unhealthy eating habits
During the first appointment, the nutritionist gathers information about the patient’s eating habits, lifestyle, physical activity and personal goals. They may also assess measurements such as weight, height and body mass index (BMI).
Based on this information, a personalised nutrition programme is developed, offering practical and sustainable guidance that can be incorporated into everyday life. Follow-up appointments make it possible to monitor progress and adjust the programme over time.
