Questions don’t always arrive during appointments. Neither do difficult weeks. Your support continues through both.
01 / MEDICAL
Medical care built around you
Understand your options with a doctor who considers your health, guides treatment and reviews your progress.
02 / YOUR NURSE
A dedicated nurse who knows you
When a week feels difficult, talk it through with someone who knows your story. Your nurse checks in and helps you work out the next step.
03 / FOLLOW-UP
A familiar voice. Space to talk
Every two weeks between appointments, we invite an update. Your nurse reads your reply and responds personally. Contact your nurse sooner when you need help.
04 / COMPASS
Your health, connected
Bring your weight, activity, sleep and other health information into one view. Connect compatible devices, or add your own entries.
BACKED BY TEJOMED
Your doctor leads your treatment. Your nurse keeps in touch, reviews your updates and helps with the questions that come up along the way. They work together so your next step is clear.
Each conversation builds on the last: what’s working, what feels difficult and what you need next.
TejoMed was founded in Lisbon in 2023.
Your nurse and doctor are confirmed when appointments are arranged.
CARE BUILT ON A RELATIONSHIP
You’re choosing people to trust with your health. A doctor who understands you, a nurse who knows your story and a team that stays involved.

Who is this program for?
Adults in Portugal who want medical support with weight management. The online assessment helps us understand your history and goals. A doctor confirms whether this program and any treatment are appropriate for you.
What if my doctor says no?
If our doctor decides Lightstep isn’t medically right for you at your initial review or first consultation, we refund all programme fees actually collected and cancel the remaining payments. Separately paid lab tests aren’t covered. This does not promise a prescription or weight-loss result.
Will I have my own nurse?
Yes. Meet your named nurse at your first video visit. Through regular check-ins by phone, video or email, they get to know you and help you understand your plan. Your doctor leads medical decisions. A covering nurse takes over with a handover when yours is away. Contact us whenever you need help; replies are during business hours. For emergencies, call 112.
What care and support are included?
Your programme includes doctor appointments, a dedicated nurse, regular check-ins and answers to your treatment questions. Additional nurse contact and doctor appointments are included when needed for your weight treatment.
Your first six months include an initial nurse video visit and a doctor appointment before treatment, nurse calls at weeks 1–2 and month 1, and doctor reviews at months 3 and 6. Email check-ins run every two weeks between appointments. Follow-up timings run from the start of your first doctor appointment.
Can I see a doctor between scheduled appointments?
Yes. Additional doctor appointments are included when needed for your weight treatment. Contact your nurse with a question or concern, and your team will arrange the right next step. Your doctor leads medical decisions and manages any prescriptions.
How is this different from TejoMed concierge medicine?
TejoMed concierge medicine gives you your own family doctor for your wider health. Your doctor looks after a small number of patients, giving you more time together, easier contact and a relationship that grows over time. Membership includes preventive care, an annual health assessment, sick visits, in-person and online appointments, and a 24/7 line for urgent needs.
This weight-care programme focuses that personal approach on your treatment and progress, with a doctor leading your plan and a dedicated nurse supporting you. Concierge care is a separate membership.
Are medication, labs or a smart scale included?
Medication and laboratory tests are paid separately. A prescription is considered only when clinically appropriate. You can enter your weight manually in Compass. A smart scale or an in-clinic body-composition assessment can be considered separately.
When do I pay, and what happens next?
Complete the questionnaire, review the terms and pay the first €198 at checkout. You can then book your included nurse video visit. The other €198 payments are due two and four calendar months after your first doctor appointment actually starts. Your nurse helps you prepare; your doctor assesses suitability, guides any tests and agrees your medical plan. Payment does not guarantee eligibility or a prescription.
How do payments, cancellation and renewals work?
Pay €198 at checkout. The next €198 payments are due two and four calendar months after your first doctor appointment actually starts. That appointment begins the six-month programme clock; any treatment authorization is a separate medical decision. From month six, care continues at €99/month. For cancellation during the six months, give 30 days’ notice. We calculate care daily through the effective end, refund any net overpayment or collect only the earned-care shortfall, and cancel later charges. A failed instalment prompts payment follow-up; care does not automatically stop.
Are individual nutrition appointments included?
Individual nutrition appointments and custom meal plans are not included in this membership.
How do you support me between appointments?
Every two weeks between appointments, our team contacts you to ask for an update. Your nurse or cover reviews your reply and answers personally. A completed appointment covering that check-in replaces that fortnight’s email. If you don’t reply, we follow up. You can also contact us between check-ins.
You bring your goals, your questions and everything you’ve tried. We’ll work out the next step together.
YOUR PERSONAL ASSESSMENT
A few details to get started.
Have your current medicines, allergies, height and weight to hand. You can review your answers before payment.
After checkout, book your included nurse video visit. We’ll help you take it from there.
