What happens during a consultation?
During the initial consultation, full dietary and medical history are recorded and physical activity and lifestyle assessed, if applicable, Nutrient and food intake are assessed and areas for dietary improvement identified. A personalized eating plan is tailored to individual preferences and needs. Information and education are provided to assist with the development of sound long-term dietary practices.
During subsequent (review) consultations, the Dietitians offers support as changes are made to eating habits, monitors progress, fine tunes eating habits where necessary, and answers queries to improve understanding of dietary principles.
Do I need a referral?
Although we do NOT require our clients to have a referral to be able to see us, it is often very helpful if you ask your doctor for one as the nutritional recommendations we make for you need to take into account factors such as your medical history, allergies and any medications or supplements that you may be taking.
Why should I see dietitian instead of nutrition or weight management consultant?
Dietitian and Nutritionist is a qualified nutrition professional that have expertise in a range of nutrition services including public health nutrition, community health and tertiary education related to nutrition. However, nutritionists are NOT qualified to provide individual dietary counselling, group therapy and medical nutrition therapy.
Dietitians are recognised professionals with the qualificatiosn and skills to provide expert nutrition and dietary advice to individuals and groups. They also have clinical training to modify diets to treat health conditions. They are committed to the Malaysian's Dietitian Association: Code of Professional Conduct.
So, why risk your health by accepting individualised dietary advice from anyone less qualified than a Dietitian?
