Endocrinology & Metabolic Diseases
A medical specialty dedicated to hormonal and metabolic balance
Endocrinology is the discipline that studies and treats the functioning of the hormonal glands (thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, ovaries, testicles, pancreas). The hormones they secrete regulate essential functions such as metabolism, growth, fertility, mood and sleep.
Metabolic diseases are chronic conditions that affect the regulation of sugar, fat and weight, such as diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome.
At OVI CLINIC, our approach to endocrinology and metabolic diseases is integrative, preventive and personalized. We combine the standards of precision medicine with tools from nutrition, functional medicine and supportive therapies to restore the body’s overall balance and sustainably improve quality of life.

Innovative, integrative care
Our specialists combine the most demanding academic medicine with integrative approaches validated by science. The aim is to go beyond symptomatic treatment, by identifying and correcting the root causes of imbalances.
Our services include :
- Precise hormonal and metabolic assessments, including blood analysis and functional tests.
- Personalized medicine, adapted to each patient’s biological profile and lifestyle.
- Clinical nutrition and micronutrition, to rebalance the metabolism and strengthen long-term health.
- Personalized hormone therapies (sometimes with bioidentical hormones) where appropriate.
- Lifestyle support: sleep hygiene, stress management, physical activity, psychological support.
Frequently asked questions
When should you consult an endocrinologist?
In cases of persistent fatigue, unexplained weight changes, cycle disorders, infertility, thyroid symptoms or known diabetes. Also for prevention, in cases of family history or metabolic risk factors.
Do endocrine and metabolic diseases always require drug treatment?
Not necessarily. Many imbalances can be improved through nutrition, physical activity and personalized follow-up. Drug treatments are used when they bring a clear and necessary benefit.
Does endocrinology also address prevention?
Yes, endocrinological monitoring helps to anticipate and reduce the risk of complications linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and hormonal aging.
