Nutrition
Initial consultation for nutritional therapy is a detailed medical evaluation that aims at analyzing nutritional status, lifestyle and eating habits, in order to establish a personalized dietary plan.
Nutritional therapy is used both for maintaining optimal health status and for management of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia or other metabolic disorders.
During the initial consultation, the following are analyzed:
- patient's medical history and lifestyle
- eating habits and eating behavior
- body mass index (BMI) and body composition
- any associated metabolic disorders
- relevant laboratory test results
Based on this evaluation, the physician establishes personalized nutritional recommendations, adapted to the patient's objectives, which may include weight control, metabolism optimization or management of metabolic disorders.
The consultation aims at improving eating habits, optimizing health status and preventing complications associated with unbalanced diet.
The consultation duration is generally 30–40 minutes, depending on the complexity of the evaluation.
