Nutrition and dietetics are no longer merely a way to lose weight or improve physical appearance; they are a fundamental pillar for preventing chronic diseases, strengthening immunity, and achieving an optimal quality of life.

Advanced Nutritional Assessment Technologies in Turkish Hospitals
To ensure that your nutrition plan is accurate and fully personalized to your body, the nutrition departments in the hospitals we work with use modern devices and techniques before starting any program, including:
- Advanced body composition analysis: Using advanced devices, such as InBody, to accurately measure body fat percentage, muscle mass, water percentage, and fat distribution in different areas of the body.
- Food intolerance tests: Advanced blood tests that identify foods that may cause hidden inflammation or digestive problems that can interfere with weight loss.
- Nutrigenetic testing: DNA analysis to understand how your body responds to different nutrients, such as carbohydrates and fats, helping create a personalized genetic-based diet plan.
- Metabolic rate testing: Measuring your resting metabolic rate to determine your body’s natural calorie-burning capacity and adjust calorie intake with high precision.

Your journey in the Nutrition and Dietetics Department follows structured steps to help you achieve your goals:
- Comprehensive assessment and first consultation: The dietitian reviews your personal and family medical history, current medications, daily lifestyle, and comprehensive laboratory test results.
- Setting realistic goals: Defining achievable health goals within a specific timeframe, whether the objective is weight loss, blood sugar control, or muscle building.
- Designing the personalized plan: Preparing a flexible meal plan with multiple alternatives that match your food culture and budget, helping prevent boredom or feelings of deprivation.
