Integrated Medical Pathway for Obesity and Metabolic Health.
by Dr. Marco Franceschin MD, MSc
Obesity: a complex chronic disease that requires a comprehensive approach
Obesity is recognized as a chronic, multifactorial and relapsing disease, determined by the interaction between genetics, hormonal set-up, gut microbiota, environmental factors, eating behavior and emotional sphere.
This is not simply a matter of aesthetics or willpower.
If not properly treated, it can promote the development of:
- Diabetes mellitus type 2
- Hypertension
- Dyslipidemia
- Cardiovascular disease
- Metabolic liver steatosis
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Osteoarticular pathologies
- Reduced life expectancy and quality of life
Addressing obesity therefore means intervening in overall metabolic health, reducing the risk of complications and improving physical and psychological well-being.

I am founder of the NutritionFitness4Life clinical project, a model of care dedicated to metabolic health that integrates specialty medicine, digital monitoring tools and structured follow-up.
The professional activity is based on the application of the latest clinical evidence and guidelines of the leading scientific societies in the treatment of obesity SIO/SICOB and EASA/IFSO.
My activity focuses on:

Integration with the spa stay and wellness services
At Hotel Quisisana, the medical course can be complemented with a stay experience that promotes physical regeneration, mental balance and metabolic recovery.
The hotel’s exclusive and private environment, together with the wellness services-spa area, spa trails, swimming pool, professional massage, fitness area-creates an ideal setting to support therapeutic change and long-term success.
The integration of clinical specialist assessment and wellness living room allows:
- Reduce chronic stress, a major factor in altering metabolism
- Improving the quality of sleep
- Promote muscle and functional recovery
- Strengthen adherence to the nutrition plan and motor program
- Stimulate motivation and path awareness
Sauna, steam room, whirlpool, and massage therapy treatments, when incorporated appropriately within the individualized program, can contribute to the relaxation of the autonomic nervous system and the improvement of the perception of well-being, a key element in the treatment of obesity.
The stay thus becomes part of a structured health strategy, not just a time to relax.

The treatment of obesity requires an integrated view.
The route may include:
- Comprehensive specialist medical evaluation
