Individual consultations

Marna Oettle, RD (BSc Med Hons Nutrition & Dietetics; BSc Psych.; MSc Physiol. Sciences)

Nutrition therapy is available for the following conditions:

  • Emotional eating, overeating, binge eating & disordered eating (including restrictive eating disorders such as Anorexia)
  • Irritable bowel syndrome & gut health
  • Plant-based nutrition

Number of consultations needed

The number of consultations that you require will vary depending on factors such as your diagnosis and goals. However, a minimum of two sessions is required for effective assessment and planning to take place. For optimal results, a long-term supportive relationship is advisable – especially in the context of disordered eating.

Virtual consultations

All consultations can be conducted virtually (via Zoom / Microsoft Teams). No matter where you are, all you need is a good internet connection.

First consultation

During your first consultation (60 – 75 minutes), a comprehensive nutritional assessment will take place, and we will get to know each other. After discussing the goals that you want to achieve, I will develop a step-wise action plan based on your current lifestyle, goals and preferences.

Follow-up consultations

During follow up visits (40 – 50 minutes), we will continue the process of monitoring your progress and setting realistic goals together. If you are keeping a food diary, I will provide feedback and make recommendations. We will discuss relevant nutrition topics, such as flexibility, eating in social situations, label reading, meal planning, etc.

Costs

South African medical aid rates apply and you are welcome to use your medical aid to pay for your sessions. Claims can be handled on your behalf, provided that your medical aid covers dietetic consultations. Do not hesitate to email me (info@nutritionsmart.co.za) for more information.
