What does a nutrition consultation involve?

The first consultation (60 to 90 minutes) includes a complete assessment: current eating habits, goals, medical history, lifestyle. A personalised plan with practical advice is developed. Follow-up consultations allow adjustment of recommendations.

Is dietary consultation reimbursed in Switzerland?

HES dietitians are reimbursed by LAMal with medical prescription for certain indications: diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, eating disorders, etc. ASCA/RME certified nutritionists may be covered by supplementary insurance.

Do I need to follow a strict diet?

No, modern approaches favour sustainable changes rather than restrictive diets. The goal is to improve your eating habits gradually and adapted to your daily life, without frustration.

How many consultations are needed?

A cycle of 3 to 5 consultations typically allows new habits to be established. Regular follow-up (monthly then quarterly) helps maintain changes long-term. Duration depends on your goals.

Can nutrition help with sustainable weight loss?

Yes, but not through yo-yo diets. The professional works on nutritional balance, satiety, managing food-related emotions and lifestyle habits for progressive and maintained weight loss.

Can I consult for food intolerances?

Yes, the dietitian or nutritionist helps identify problematic foods (gluten, lactose, FODMAP) and establish a balanced elimination diet that covers all your nutritional needs.

Is nutritional support suitable for athletes?

Yes, sports nutrition optimises performance, recovery and body composition. The professional adapts energy intake, macronutrients and hydration according to your sport and goals.
