Metabolic Portrait: A Clinical Tool for Addressing Weight Holistically

A visual and structured approach that allows healthcare professionals to explore, together with the client, the multiple factors that may influence weight and build a personalized picture of their situation.

Metabolic Profile aims to:

• Address weight with empathy and without judgment through a person-centered approach.
• Promote autonomy and self-assessment through the client’s active participation.
• Support a comprehensive and personalized understanding of the factors that influence weight.
• Help identify strategies tailored to the individual, using an approach accessible to people at all levels of health literacy.
