Carlota Balmaseda de Ahumada
Doctor, patient and person.
I'm a doctor specialising in women's health, metabolism and lipoedema. Born in Marbella, I've lived in Madrid for over ten years. Over time my practice has become increasingly integrative: nutrition, lifestyle and each woman's personal circumstances are at the heart of treatment.
My story
I discovered I had lipoedema on my own, at a time when there was very little clear information and few professionals who understood what was happening to me. That sense of being lost is what made me rethink the kind of doctor I wanted to be.
I know what it's like to feel you're doing everything “right” and still not see results. I live with hormonal imbalances such as PCOS myself, which has given me an even closer understanding of what my patients go through.
How I see health
I practise evidence-based medicine, with a flexible and realistic outlook: I believe in medication when it's needed, and equally in the power of nutrition, habits and lifestyle to help the body work better. It's not about being perfect — it's about being sustainable.
How I work with patients
Every case is approached individually. I look at the whole picture — blood tests, symptoms, medical history, medication, lifestyle and daily routine — to understand what's going on and set real priorities. From there, we build a plan that fits your life, focused on gradual, sustainable change.
