Nutrition Consultations
This is where our nutrition journey starts. There is no such thing as failure.

Adult consultations
First consultation – 90 minutes
In this first consultation the dietitian will assess the patient’s medical history, diet history and health and nutritional status. The dietitian will spend time on educating the patient on how necessary changes in the diet will benefit them and how to implement the changes. Education is vital as the changes should be part of a new lifestyle. This includes a meal plan and recipes that will be e-mailed after the appointment.

First follow up appointment
45 – 60 minutes
10 – 14 days after the initial consultation a follow up appointment is necessary to discuss the changes that have been implemented and to “fine-tune” the information gained. The patient usually needs to keep a food record and this will enable the dietitian to assess and discuss possible misconceptions or misunderstandings. During this consultation goals will be set regarding the condition i.e. ideal blood glucose levels, ideal weight loss etc.

Further follow up appointments
30 minutes
Further follow up appointments (usually 10 – 14 days apart) are necessary to receive the needed support and the latest nutritional information. Different topics will also be discussed such as eating away from home, holidays / travelling, how to change favourite recipes into healthier options, label reading etc.
Research suggests that follow-up appointments and accountability is most crucial in the first 6 months after embarking on lifestyle and dietary intervention.




Family Consultations
Duration – 2 hours
When families decide to improve their way of eating, it is vital that all the family members are involved in the education. The dietitian will spend time on educating the family on how necessary changes in their diet will benefit them and how to implement the changes. Education is vital as the changes should be part of a new lifestyle. This includes a meal plan and recipes that will be e-mailed after the appointment.

Paediatric consultations
Duration – 45 – 60 minutes
Due to the different education approach with children under the age of 12 years the appointment is of shorted duration. This consultation is an assessment of the child, which includes the medical history, family history and diet history. The child and parent/guardian attend this session together.
If necessary an appointment can be arranged with the parent/guardian prior to meeting the child, if necessary.
