Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera
Licence No. 484814280 · Urgent, non-emergency care
Weight and metabolic health are about far more than a number on a scale — they affect your energy, your long-term risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes and hypertension, and how you feel day to day. Generic advice rarely works because everyone's starting point is different.
This consultation offers a personalised, medically-guided program with a doctor who holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Nutrition. We review your metabolic health and insulin resistance, discuss evidence-based therapeutic options — including medicines authorised in Spain for weight management, where clinically appropriate — and build a realistic plan you can actually live with. No fads, no judgment.

Clinical Framework & Standards of Care: Metabolic Health & Weight Management
All medical consultations are conducted directly and privately by Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera, a fully licensed General Practitioner registered in Spain (Medical Licence No. 484814280, Official College of Physicians of Bizkaia). Clinical practice adheres strictly to Spanish Medical Deontology, Law 41/2002 on Patient Autonomy, and applicable Spanish healthcare regulations.
Medication Dispensing in Spanish Pharmacies
When clinically justified following medical evaluation, an official private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Electrónica Privada) is issued with a secure verification code (CSV/QR). These prescriptions are universally recognized across all 22,000+ community pharmacies throughout mainland Spain and the Balearic/Canary Islands.
Medical Documentation & International Insurance Claims
After your appointment, you receive a digitally signed medical report and an official itemized invoice detailing the physician's license number, clinical summary, and tax registration. This documentation is accepted by private medical insurers and international travel insurance providers (such as Bupa, Allianz, Cigna, AXA, or US travel medical cover) for claim reimbursement.
Patient Preparation & Secure Video Consultation Flow
To streamline your appointment, please have ready your identification (passport or national ID), regular prescription list, relevant medical history, and notes on symptom onset. Video consultations take place on an encrypted, medical-grade web platform accessible directly from any smartphone, tablet, or laptop browser with zero app installation required.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a diet plan or medical care?
It is medically-guided care. I assess your metabolic health and insulin resistance, consider relevant risk factors, and build a sustainable plan tailored to you — which is very different from a generic diet.
Do you offer medication-assisted weight management?
Where it is clinically appropriate and safe for you, we can discuss medicines authorised in Spain for weight management as part of a supervised plan. Any treatment follows an individual assessment and is only recommended when suitable — it is never a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Do you support long-term follow-up?
Yes. Sustainable results come from continuity. Follow-up consultations let us track progress, review any tests, and adjust your plan over time.
How is a weight-management plan decided?
Your plan follows an individual assessment of your health history, current concerns, and whether online care is appropriate. If you need tests or in-person care, I will explain the next step.
Online consultations are for urgent, non-emergency care. In a medical emergency call 112 immediately or go to your nearest emergency department.
