How does personalised weight management work via Magistra?

Step-by-step explanation of the Magistra platform: from questionnaire to home delivery. How to start a personalised weight management programme in 4 steps.

The process in 4 steps

Magistra makes personalised weight management simple. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Complete your profile (5 minutes)

Answer a confidential health questionnaire at magistra.health. We ask about:

  • Your personal details
  • Height, weight and target weight
  • Medical history and current medications
  • Your goals and motivation
  • All your data is encrypted and processed exclusively within the EU (GDPR-compliant).

    Step 2: Assessment by a doctor

    An independent BIG-registered doctor assesses your profile. The doctor:

  • Checks whether a personalised programme is suitable for you
  • Determines a dosage based on your health profile
  • Prescribes a personalised treatment
  • Magistra does not influence the clinical decision — the doctor is fully independent.

    Step 3: Pharmacy match

    We connect you with a licensed compounding pharmacy in the Netherlands that:

  • Is BIG-registered
  • Specialises in compounding
  • Works according to KNMP standards
  • Is inspected by the IGJ
  • The pharmacy prepares your treatment from pharmaceutical raw materials, specifically for you.

    Step 4: Delivered to your door

    Your personalised programme is discreetly delivered to your door in plain packaging. Expect your delivery within 2-3 working days.

    What does it cost?

    Programmes start from €155 per month — up to 50% cheaper than branded products that cost €300-400 per month.

    Prices are set independently by each pharmacy. You always see the full price before you commit.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is it safe? Yes. All pharmacies are BIG-registered and all doctors are independent.

    How quickly can I start? After assessment by the doctor and matching with a pharmacy, you'll receive your programme within 2-3 working days.

    Can I stop? Yes, you can stop at any time. There are no long-term contracts.
