Your journey to our dietetics service

Get ready for your dietetics appointment in 4 simple steps:

1. Consultation with our doctor: First, chat about your dietary goals or concerns during your next medical appointment. If appropriate, your doctor will happily write you the necessary referral for dietetics.

2. Booking your appointment: Once your doctor has approved and issued the referral, you are all set to book your dietetics appointment!

3. Your first appointment: We will start with a warm overview: What is your main goal? What is stressing you, and what is already working well for you? After structured medical case-taking, we will look at your habits, daily rhythm, and potential triggers.

4. Preparation: If you would like to prepare in the best way possible, keep a food diary for at least 7 days before your session. You can easily find a template in our download area.

Quick tips to get you started right now

You can start with these simple steps today – we promise they really help!

• Protein boost: Include a good source of protein with every meal to keep you feeling satisfied and full for longer.

• Meal planning basics: Choose a few simple staple ingredients you can easily vary, rather than overthinking a whole new menu every single day.

• Hydration routine: Drink water regularly throughout the day. Often, our bodies mistake thirst for hunger.

• Feel-good focus: Eat in a way that makes you feel energised and nourished afterwards – not in a way that leaves you feeling like you have to justify yourself.
