What the visit includes
The clinical history looks at intake, weight, height, medical history, and tests.
From that I set the energy needs and a plan balanced in macro and micronutrients.
The aim is to grow, cover gaps, and keep reserves.
Suitable nutrition supports physical and mental development. It also helps prevent complications and is part of treatment.
When the plan is part of treatment
Nutrition is a pillar in overweight, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and eating disorders.
Nutrition and chronic diseases
The nutrition plan is part of treatment:
Nutrition through life stages
The plan changes with age. It includes pregnancy, the first thousand days, childhood, and adolescence.
The first thousand days run from pregnancy to age two. Fetal nutrition depends on the mother's status, even before pregnancy.
Vegetarian diets, vegan diets, and nutrition for athletes also need a plan.
