NUTRITION

Dr Anna Moore, a specialist in Nutritional Medicine, can advise you as to the nutritional approach to most conditions. For some patients, this will be in addition to the treatment recommended by the GP, while for others, it may be the preferred therapeutic route in the first instance.

Being doubly qualified in Medicine and Nutrition, she will be able to provide a comprehensive assessment of your problem and the best way forward. Whether you have been diagnosed with diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity or all three, nutrition will be a very important element of your future treatment.

It is not necessary to wait until you develop a problem to tackle your diet. Many patients come for a Nutrition Check in mid life, to ensure that they are doing the right thing when it comes to their diet and that of their families.

 

The problems most commonly treated include:

MEDICAL WELLNESS / WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM

This is suitable for anyone needing to shed a few kilos for medical or other reasons.

Patients will be assessed in terms of body composition, waist circumference, medical history and blood tests, as appropriate.

Having agreed a goal, specific dietary and exercise advice will be given according to individual circumstances. Supplements can be recommended if helpful.

GLP-1 agonists such as Wegovy and Mounjaro can be prescribed for suitable patients which, together with an appropriate diet, can result in rapid fat loss without significant muscle loss.

Patients are seen and monitored on a regular basis throughout the process, particularly to prevent regain following successful weight loss.

A short period of Continual Glucose Monitoring, using either the Abbot or Dexcom CGM sensors, may be recommended for patients keen to learn more about the specific effect of different foods on their blood glucose. This is very relevant to weight maintenance as well as the management of diabetes and prediabetes.
