WHEN REGISTERING FOR AN APPOINTMENT BY PHONE OR ONLINE, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO INDICATE IN THE COMMENTS WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ISSUES/REASONS IS CONCERNING YOU
Obesity:
We welcome patients diagnosed with obesity. Obesity is a chronic condition that is difficult to treat and negatively affects the entire body. The main goal for the patient is to lose weight and maintain it at a stable level. Sometimes patients struggle to lose weight on their own and require a dietitian’s consultation. Various diets worldwide effectively support weight loss, and the choice of diet depends on the patient’s medical history and blood test results. We are happy to assist those who are consciously seeking to lose weight. Our specialist takes an individual approach, relying on scientifically proven information.
PS! The consultation duration for both new and returning patients is 60 minutes.
Diabetes:
We invite patients with Type I and Type II diabetes, gestational diabetes, and prediabetes. We are happy to provide information on diabetes nutrition and assist with insulin recommendations, adjusting insulin treatment if necessary. Today, diabetics often use sensors that measure blood sugar levels every 2–5 minutes. During the consultation, we can provide detailed information about sensor options and recommend the most suitable one from a wide range to help patients manage their condition. Patients with newly diagnosed Type II diabetes and prediabetes will receive information on food choices to regulate blood sugar levels after meals.
PS! The consultation duration for both new and returning patients is 60 minutes.
Oncology patients:
We invite patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, as well as those in remission. We mainly welcome patients who struggle with appetite loss caused by treatment or emotional exhaustion, as well as those who experience digestive issues like nausea, diarrhea, or constipation during treatment. A dietitian’s consultation is particularly important for patients who are losing weight, as weight loss weakens the body. A well-thought-out, scientifically proven diet helps patients manage their illness and improves stress resilience. During the consultation, we provide information on medical nutrition products (Nutricia, Fresenius, etc.).
PS! The consultation duration for both new and returning patients is 60 minutes.
Post-bariatric surgery patients:
We welcome those waiting for or interested in bariatric surgery, as well as those who have already undergone it. Depending on the situation, we can help with dietary choices and provide recommendations for replacement therapy. All post-bariatric patients must take replacement therapy for life, as they are prone to deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals. The absorption of micronutrients depends on the type of bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve, bypass, mini-bypass). The consultation is also useful for those planning surgery and wanting to prepare. Before bariatric surgery, it is recommended to lose 7–10% of body weight to reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Knowledge of food choices after bariatric surgery aids in faster recovery during the postoperative period.
PS! The consultation duration for both new and returning patients is 60 minutes.
Patients with digestive complaints:
IBS, IBD, celiac disease (gluten enteropathy), chronic constipation, reflux, gastritis: We welcome patients with gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, reflux, and those diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. These patients present various complaints such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, heartburn, etc. It is well known that food affects bowel motility, meaning that the same food can have both negative and positive effects on the digestive system. We welcome all patients who want to help themselves with nutrition, alongside treatment, by making conscious food choices!
