About the clinic

Clinical nutrition differs fundamentally from general dietary advice. When diet is tied to an illness — diabetes, kidney failure, coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease — the advice is governed by the diagnosis, the test results and the rest of the treatment, not by general recommendations. An experienced clinical dietitian also knows that the best dietary advice is the advice you can actually follow in everyday life.

We keep strictly to medically grounded nutrition tied to your diagnosis — never general weight targets or slimming programmes. And when the question is really about a difficult relationship with food, we refer you onwards to the right specialist care, without delay and without judgement.

How it works

1Book and describe your main problem online.
2Upload previous results if you have them — test results, examinations, medication list.
3Video consultation — review of your history and targeted questions.
4A clear plan — next steps, any treatment, and a timeframe for follow-up.

What to prepare

A timeline of your symptoms (when it started, what triggers or relieves it)
Current medications and doses
Known allergies and previous illnesses
Previous test results and examinations, with dates if possible
Your three most important questions for the visit

Call your local emergency number immediately or go to the nearest emergency department if you have:

Rapid, unintentional and considerable weight loss
Signs of severe dehydration
A severe allergic reaction after a meal (swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing). If you have an adrenaline auto-injector, use it first, before calling. Then call your local emergency number even if symptoms improve.
Signs of serious nutritional deficiency (for example marked weakness, palpitations)
If you or someone close to you has thoughts of self-harm in relation to food or body — contact healthcare or call your local emergency number immediately

Digital care cannot replace emergency services. If unsure, seek care immediately.

Common questions

Do you help with weight loss?

We give medically grounded dietary advice tied to specific health conditions, not general weight loss programmes.

Can you give dietary advice in diabetes or heart disease?

Yes.

Can you assess nutritional deficiency?

Yes, we interpret relevant blood tests and give guidance.

Can you help with a food allergy?

Yes, with dietary guidance; the allergy investigation itself may require working with the allergy clinic.

What do you do where an eating disorder is suspected?

We listen and help you onwards to the right specialist care — it is not something we treat with dietary advice at this clinic.

What happens after the appointment?

A written, individually adapted plan.

What do I do about a severe allergic reaction?

If you have an adrenaline auto-injector, use it first, before calling. Then call your local emergency number immediately, even if symptoms improve — see the safety box.

Do I have to change my whole diet?

Almost never. Most people get the best result from a few targeted changes that can be kept up over time.

Can I get dietary advice if I have no diagnosis?

We work with diet tied to medical conditions. If you have no problems but want general advice, we point you elsewhere.

Can I book even if I already see a dietitian?

Yes, many book for a second opinion or for a specific question between their regular appointments.

Fifteen areas we help with

Dietary advice in type 2 diabetes

Typical age: Adults.
Background: Diet is a central part of blood sugar control.
What we offer: Individually adapted dietary advice, coordinated with the patient's other treatment.
What the doctor looks for: The current dietary pattern, and blood sugar values.
Investigations: A review of the food diary, and relevant blood tests.
Management: Practical, sustainable dietary changes.
Follow-up: Regular, coordinated with the doctor in charge.
Prognosis: Better blood sugar control and a greater understanding of the role of diet.
What you can do yourself: Keep a food diary with your blood sugar values for a week — the link between a meal and a reading often becomes clear.
When should you book?: With newly diagnosed diabetes, or when blood sugar is hard to control despite treatment.

Dietary advice in cardiovascular disease

Typical age: Adults.
Background: Diet affects blood lipids, blood pressure and heart health.
What we offer: Heart-friendly dietary patterns.
What the doctor looks for: The current diet, and blood lipid values.
Investigations: A dietary review, and relevant test results.
Management: Practical changes around fat, salt and fibre intake.
Follow-up: According to the treatment plan.
Prognosis: Support for the rest of the heart treatment.
What you can do yourself: Swap saturated fat for unsaturated and increase fibre — those two changes have the greatest effect.
When should you book?: After a cardiac event, or with raised blood lipids.

Nutritional deficiency — investigation support

Typical age: All ages.
Background: A shortage of specific nutrients (for example iron, vitamin D, B12).
What we offer: Identifying the possible cause of the deficiency and the dietary response.
What the doctor looks for: The dietary pattern, the symptoms, and previous test results.
Investigations: A review of blood tests.
Management: Diet and any supplements, coordinated with your regular care.
Follow-up: Repeat testing.
Prognosis: Nutritional status returning to normal over time.
What you can do yourself: Bring your previous test results — the change over time governs the treatment.
When should you book?: With a confirmed deficiency, or with fatigue where a deficiency is suspected.

Food allergy and intolerance — dietary guidance

Typical age: All ages.
Background: Certain foods cause a reaction or problems.
What we offer: Practical guidance on avoidance and alternatives, coordinated with an allergy investigation where needed.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern of symptoms in relation to foods.
Investigations: A food diary, and working with the allergy clinic where allergy is suspected.
Management: Safe dietary alternatives, and nutritional balance.
Follow-up: As needed.
Prognosis: Fewer symptoms while nutrition stays good.
What you can do yourself: Exclude one food at a time for two weeks and reintroduce it — several at once makes the result impossible to interpret.
When should you book?: With a suspected intolerance, or to avoid unnecessary exclusions.

Diet in kidney disease

Typical age: Adults with known kidney disease.
Background: Certain nutrients need adjusting when kidney function is reduced.
What we offer: Dietary adjustment coordinated with the kidney clinic.
What the doctor looks for: Kidney test results, and the dietary pattern.
Investigations: A review coordinated with the doctor in charge.
Management: Adjusted intake of protein, potassium and phosphate according to the medical plan.
Follow-up: Regular, tied to the kidney test results.
Prognosis: Support for the kidney treatment.
What you can do yourself: Never change your protein or potassium intake on your own in kidney disease — it requires individual adjustment.
When should you book?: With reduced kidney function and questions about diet.

Diet in IBS and other functional gut problems

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Certain foods can worsen symptoms in IBS.
What we offer: A structured dietary review and guidance.
What the doctor looks for: The pattern of symptoms in relation to meals.
Investigations: A food diary.
Management: Practical changes, for example around fibre and certain carbohydrates.
Follow-up: As needed.
Prognosis: Fewer symptoms.
What you can do yourself: Keep a food and symptom diary with times — the reaction often comes several hours after the meal.
When should you book?: With an IBS diagnosis and a need for structured dietary guidance.

Diet in coeliac disease

Typical age: All ages.
Background: A gluten-free diet is the central treatment in confirmed coeliac disease.
What we offer: Practical guidance on a gluten-free diet and nutritional balance.
What the doctor looks for: The dietary pattern, and nutritional status.
Investigations: Coordinated with the care that made the diagnosis.
Management: Practical tools for everyday life.
Follow-up: Regular, particularly at the start.
Prognosis: Symptom relief and good nutritional status.
What you can do yourself: Learn to read ingredient lists — hidden gluten in sauces and spice mixes is the most common reason for problems that persist.
When should you book?: After diagnosis, and for problems that persist despite a gluten-free diet.

Nutritional support during recovery from illness or surgery

Typical age: All ages.
Background: Nutritional needs rise during healing and recovery.
What we offer: Dietary advice adapted to the recovery phase.
What the doctor looks for: Appetite, how the weight is changing, and energy needs.
Investigations: A review of your current intake.
Management: Practical ways to raise nutritional intake where needed.
Follow-up: According to how the recovery goes.
Prognosis: Support for the body's healing process.
What you can do yourself: Eat little and often when your appetite is poor; protein at every meal.
When should you book?: With weight loss during or after illness.

Diet during pregnancy — general guidance

Typical age: Pregnant women.
Background: Nutritional needs change during pregnancy.
What we offer: General dietary guidance as a complement to regular maternity care.
What the doctor looks for: The dietary pattern, and any specific needs.
Investigations: A conversation about diet and any symptoms.
Management: General advice in line with established pregnancy recommendations.
Follow-up: As needed.
Prognosis: Support for a nutritionally balanced pregnancy.
What you can do yourself: Follow the national food agency's recommendations on what should be avoided.
When should you book?: With gestational diabetes, severe nausea, or specific dietary questions.

This clinic does not replace regular maternity care.

Guidance when you are worried about eating patterns

Typical age: All ages.
Background: A changed relationship with food can have many causes and always needs taking seriously.
What we offer: A first conversation where we listen, and guidance to the right specialist care.
What we do NOT do: Give dietary advice, weight targets or calorie targets where an eating disorder is suspected — that is handled by specialist care.
Investigations: These happen with a specialist provider, not here.
What happens: We help you find the right way onwards, quickly and without judgement.
Follow-up: Coordinated with the care you are referred to.
What you can do yourself: Talk to someone you trust. We give no weight targets or calorie targets for this question.
When should you book?: At any time — we listen and help you onwards to the right care.

If you or someone close to you is struggling badly in relation to food, eating or body — contact healthcare. In immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

Diet in inflammatory bowel disease

Typical age: All ages with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
Background: Diet plays different roles during a flare and in remission — during a flare a high-fibre diet can worsen symptoms, while lasting exclusions in remission risk nutritional deficiency instead. Many patients restrict their diet more than necessary out of fear of a flare.
Common symptoms: Abdominal pain, diarrhoea, weight loss, nutritional deficiencies.
What the doctor looks for: Disease activity, nutritional status, and which foods have been excluded.
Investigations: Blood tests (iron, B12, vitamin D, albumin); a review of the dietary pattern.
How the assessment is made: From the phase of the disease — a flare and remission need different advice.
Management: Diet adapted to the phase; targeted supplements where there is a deficiency.
Follow-up: Regular, tied to disease activity.
Risk factors to know: Bowel resection (which affects absorption), long-standing exclusions, corticosteroid treatment (which affects bone health).
Common misconception: That you have to avoid many foods permanently. In remission most people tolerate a normal, varied diet.
What you can do yourself: Reintroduce excluded foods one at a time during remission — most people tolerate more than they think.
When should you book?: With a nutritional deficiency, weight loss, or if you have excluded many foods.
Prognosis: Good nutritional status is entirely achievable with an adapted diet.

Food and medicines — interactions

Typical age: All adult ages; most relevant when taking many medicines.
Background: Several common medicines are affected by what you eat, and the other way round. This is underappreciated knowledge — some interactions greatly reduce the effect of a medicine, others increase side effects. Often a change of timing is enough to solve the problem completely.
Common symptoms: A medicine not working, or unexpected side effects.
What the doctor looks for: The medication list in relation to eating habits and timing.
Investigations: A review of medicines, supplements and diet.
How the assessment is made: By systematically going through known interactions.
Management: Adjusted timing of doses, or dietary adjustment.
Follow-up: After the adjustment.
Risk factors to know: Anticoagulants (food rich in vitamin K), thyroid hormone (calcium and iron impair absorption), certain antibiotics (dairy products), grapefruit (which affects several medicines).
Common misconception: That supplements are always safe to combine with medicines. Several supplements, including St John's wort and calcium, noticeably affect how a medicine works.
What you can do yourself: Bring both your medicines and your supplements to the appointment — the supplements are often forgotten.
When should you book?: When taking many medicines, or with unexpected side effects or a medicine not working.
Prognosis: Very good — usually simple to put right.

Nutritional needs in older people

Typical age: From 65 years.
Background: Older people need more protein per kilo of body weight than younger people in order to preserve muscle — but often eat less because of reduced appetite, dental problems or loneliness. The combination makes undernutrition in older people more common than many realise, and it is a strong risk factor for falls, infections and poorer recovery.
Common symptoms: Unintentional weight loss, reduced muscle strength, fatigue, an increased tendency to infection.
What the doctor looks for: How the weight is changing, meal patterns, dental status and social factors.
Investigations: Weight, blood tests (albumin, vitamin D, B12).
How the assessment is made: By mapping both the intake and the practical obstacles to eating.
Management: A protein-rich diet spread across the day; supplements where needed.
Follow-up: Regular weight checks.
Risk factors to know: Living alone, dental problems, difficulty swallowing, depression, dementia, taking many medicines.
Common misconception: That older people need to eat less. The energy requirement falls somewhat, but the protein requirement rises.
What you can do yourself: Protein at every meal, not just at dinner — how it is spread across the day matters a great deal for preserving muscle.
When should you book?: With unintentional weight loss or a reduced appetite.
Prognosis: Good — even small improvements in intake have a measurable effect.

Vegetarian and vegan diets — nutritional planning

Typical age: All ages.
Background: A well-planned vegetarian or vegan diet is entirely nutritionally adequate, but certain nutrients require deliberate planning — particularly B12, iron, vitamin D, iodine and omega-3. The deficiencies often develop slowly and only become apparent after months to years.
Common symptoms: Often none at first; later fatigue, numbness (B12 deficiency), paleness.
What the doctor looks for: How the diet is composed, how long it has been followed, and whether supplements are taken.
Investigations: Blood tests (B12, ferritin, vitamin D, blood count).
How the assessment is made: From the dietary pattern and the test results.
Management: Targeted supplements and dietary optimisation.
Follow-up: Regular blood tests.
Risk factors to know: A vegan diet without B12 supplementation (which is compulsory), pregnancy and breastfeeding, children and adolescents, high physical activity.
Common misconception: That you get enough B12 from the diet as a vegan. You do not — supplementation is necessary, not optional.
What you can do yourself: B12 supplementation is compulsory on a vegan diet. Combine iron-rich plant foods with vitamin C for better absorption.
When should you book?: When switching to a vegan diet, during pregnancy, or for a nutritional check after a longer period.
Prognosis: Very good with planning and the right supplements.

Weight change during illness

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Both unintentional weight loss and weight gain can be a sign of illness or of a treatment effect — the thyroid, corticosteroid treatment, heart failure (fluid), depression and cancer all affect weight. Understanding the cause is decisive before changing the diet.
Common symptoms: A change in weight without any deliberate change to diet or activity.
What the doctor looks for: The speed, the direction, and any accompanying symptoms or changes of medication.
Investigations: Blood tests (thyroid, blood sugar, blood count, inflammation); a review of medicines.
How the assessment is made: The cause is investigated before any dietary measure — otherwise you risk treating the symptom.
Management: Directed at the cause; nutritional support as a complement.
Follow-up: According to the findings.
Risk factors to know: Corticosteroid treatment, certain antidepressants and antipsychotics, thyroid disorder, heart failure, malignancy.
Common misconception: That a change in weight is always about diet and exercise. Where the change is unintentional, it is more often medical.
What you can do yourself: Weigh yourself regularly and note the date — a measured change is considerably more useful than an estimated one.
When should you book?: With an unintentional weight change of more than five per cent of body weight.
Prognosis: Depends on the cause; good once it has been identified.
