Nutrition and Dietetics
Personalized approach to nutrition as a key factor in health, prevention, and treatment of various conditions.
Department Overview
The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics offers a personalized approach to nutrition as a key factor in health, prevention, and treatment of various conditions.
Through expert assessment and individually tailored nutritional programs, the department helps patients achieve sustainable results and improve their quality of life.
Diseases and Conditions
The department works with patients with:
Overweight and undernutrition
regulation of body composition.Diabetes and insulin resistance
glycemic control through nutrition.Cardiovascular diseases
risk reduction through a nutritional approach.Dyslipidemia
regulation of blood lipid levels.Digestive disorders
Helicobacter pylori, constipation, and diarrhea.Anemia
nutritional support to correct deficiencies.Food allergies and intolerances
adapted nutritional plans.Endocrine and kidney diseases
specialized nutrition plans.Immune-related conditions
immune support through nutrition.
Diagnostics
The department performs a detailed and comprehensive nutritional assessment in order to determine the patient’s current health status, nutritional status, and individual needs.
Precise measurement of body fat percentage, muscle mass, body water, visceral fat, and basal metabolic rate. The analysis provides a better understanding of body composition and allows monitoring of changes during treatment.
Measurement of body weight, height, BMI, waist and hip circumference, as well as assessment of the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases related to overweight or malnutrition.
Detailed analysis of dietary habits, food and fluid intake, physical activity, sleep, and lifestyle. Specific symptoms, intolerances, appetite, and existing diseases that affect nutrition are also evaluated.
Evaluation of vitamins, minerals, blood sugar, lipids, iron, hormones, inflammatory markers, and other indicators of metabolic and nutritional status. This enables early detection of deficiencies, anemia, insulin resistance, and other disorders.
Early detection of the risk of malnutrition, muscle loss, sarcopenia, or deficiency of specific nutrients, especially in patients with chronic diseases, after surgery, or in older age.
Analysis of genetic factors that influence metabolism, response to different types of food, tolerance to carbohydrates and fats, the need for specific vitamins, and the tendency toward excess body weight.
Treatments
The department develops individualized nutritional programs and long-term plans to improve health:
Individual nutritional plans
personalized nutrition adapted according to age, health condition, laboratory results, physical activity, and the patient’s goals.Nutritional programs for specific diseases
specially designed plans for patients with diabetes, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, gastrointestinal diseases, and chronic diseases of the kidneys, heart, and liver.Weight loss and weight gain programs
controlled and safe reduction of body weight while preserving muscle mass, as well as programs for patients with malnutrition or unintended weight loss.Nutrigenetic approach
personalized nutrition according to the patient’s genetic profile, with selection of the most appropriate type of diet and recommendations according to individual metabolism.Programs for children and adolescents
nutritional support for proper growth and development, prevention and treatment of overweight, selective eating, and nutritional deficiencies in children and teenagers.Immune-support nutritional packages
nutritional support aimed at strengthening the immune system, especially in patients with chronic diseases, after surgery, infections, or oncological treatment.Alternative nutritional models
counseling and adaptation of Mediterranean, vegetarian, vegan, low-carb, or other dietary patterns, ensuring they are safe, balanced, and adapted to the patient’s needs.Education and support
continuous education regarding healthy food choices, reading food labels, meal planning, and maintaining healthy habits in the long term.
Technology and Equipment
The department is equipped with modern technology for precise nutritional assessment and personalized monitoring:
InBody body composition analyzer
an advanced system for body composition analysis, providing detailed information about body fat, muscle mass, body water, visceral fat, and basal metabolic rate.Nutrigenetic systems
genetic analyses that allow personalization of nutrition according to the patient’s genetic profile and individual metabolism.Laboratory diagnostics
modern laboratory analyses for assessment of metabolic, hormonal, and nutritional parameters, including vitamins, minerals, lipid profile, glucose, and inflammatory markers.Progress monitoring systems
regular follow-up and comparison of results in order to evaluate the effect of the nutritional plan and adjust it when necessary.
