PREPARATION FOR WORK WITH A DIETITIAN

For whatever reason, preparation for a consultation is necessary. What is the best way to proceed so that your visit to a nutritionist is most beneficial to you? It is enough to follow simple recommendations:

Keep a food diary for 3-5 days, i.e. write down in detail everything you eat during the day. This will allow the doctor to quickly familiarize himself with your diet and draw preliminary conclusions.

Take tests – general and biochemical blood tests, glucose test, insulin test, HOMA index (glucose and insulin ratio).

The above tests should be performed no more than 2-3 weeks before the consultation. The doctor may also prescribe additional tests and examinations if there is reason to believe that weight problems are the result of organ dysfunction or hormonal disorders. As a rule, in such cases, tests for thyroid hormones, salivary cortisol, general urine analysis, C-peptide, homocysteine, ferritin, vitamin D3, and C-reactive protein may be prescribed.

Please note that at the Med-Atlant MCC you can undergo the necessary examinations and consultations of related specialists (endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, etc.).

And the most important thing to prepare for is to set a goal for yourself. What you really, truly want. Understanding why you are applying, you will immediately get closer to your goal.

CONSULTATION OF A NUTRITIONIST AT MED-ATLANT IN IVANO-FRANKIVSK – THE PROCESS AND THE RESULT

Whatever the reason for your visit, the main task of a nutritionist is to prepare an action plan for you. Not only the state of your body, but also your personal food preferences are taken into account – you must admit, this is important! Everything should be tasty and healthy for you. Our nutritionist emphasizes the importance of understanding what and how to consume, rather than counting calories. It is with this approach that it will be easier to achieve the desired result.

We understand that support is important on the way to your goal. For our part, we provide the opportunity to accompany you with a nutritionist. Communication with the doctor and resolving all dietary issues during the support provides significant moral support. Of course, the support of family and friends is always important.

How to choose a dietitian?

A professional nutritionist will not advise “cleansing” or prescribe strict diets that are harmful to health. Instead, the doctor will take a detailed medical history, review the examinations, or prescribe additional ones. All dietary recommendations are not aimed at starvation, but at optimization. Medication therapy is also possible, but not at the expense of the quality and diet. Everything in the human body is connected, which is why nutrition should be handled by a specialist with a higher medical education and appropriate specialization.
