During the first meeting the patient and the nutritionist get to know each other, set goals of their cooperation and ways of achieving them.
The doctor will try to thoroughly clarify your complaints related to nutrition and work of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as others.
Then, together you will analyze the history of gaining or losing body weight or the disease you turned to him about. Here it is important to mention even the smallest details without hiding anything, because sometimes the usual symptoms could be decisive for the doctor.
Also, the doctor will ask about all the diseases you have had or are suffering from currently, vaccinations and gynecological history (for women), important diseases of your parents or relatives, and analyze the results of additional examinations (if such are present).
If there is a need, the nutritionist will ask you to fill out questionnaires related to eating behavior, and will also ask about your usual eating style – what you eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, whether you have additional snacks, etc.
Next, the doctor will definitely measure you and your body weight and, based on the information obtained, will calculate the body mass index, abdominal obesity, fat mass percentage, etc.
After getting all the information needed, the nutritionist will prescribe an individual examination plan, draw up an advisory opinion and provide primary (!!!) nutritional recommendations, reference materials on nutrition and lifestyle changes, teach or adjust the filling of a food diary, and, if necessary, prescribe treatment, prevention and correction of micronutrient deficiencies and vitamins, and will also create a schedule of repeat visits for you personally.
