Nutritional Advice And Guidance
How often should I visit a nutritionist for optimal results?
The frequency of the consultations is fully tailored to the wishes and needs of the client. For some clients, a monthly appointment is sufficient, while others return more often for additional support or adjustments to their plan. Together we draw up a return schedule with a minimum interval of 1 week and a maximum interval of 4 weeks. Regular follow-up helps to monitor progress, set new goals and make timely adjustments in the event of any problems, which significantly increases the chance of long-term success.
What does a first appointment for nutritional advice entail?
The first appointment starts with an extensive intake interview in which we map out the specific needs and goals of the client. During an extensive intake interview of approximately 1 hour, we discuss not only the request for help, but also the current lifestyle, medical background, eating habits and any allergies or intolerances. Then, in consultation with the client, a tailor-made plan is drawn up that is practical and feasible. We also look at possible obstacles and how we can overcome them to achieve sustainable behavioral change. This appointment also offers the client the opportunity to ask questions, clarify expectations and get a clear picture of what the further process will look like.

Are the costs for nutritional advice and guidance reimbursed by my health insurance?
In most cases, the costs for nutritional advice by a nutritionist are not reimbursed by the health insurance, because this reimbursement often applies exclusively to dieticians. However, clients affiliated with the MCCR practice are offered this service as part of their care package at our practice.
