A Nutritionist is a person who gives advice on food and nutrition, promoting overall health and wellness. Many people will benefit from Nutrition counseling - not only those who are ill but also healthy individuals.

If you're diagnosed with a certain disease, a nutritionist can help you understand and manage your condition better. If you're hale and hearty, on the other hand, they can help you stay healthy and make the right decisions when it comes to food.

Some benefits of visiting a nutritionist include:

- You want a safe and effective weight loss program

- You're dealing with health issues, including heart diseases, high blood pressure, obesity and overweight, diabetes, eating disorders and food allergies and intolerances.

- You'll learn more about food and how it impacts your body.

- You'll receive advice on food and nutrition.

- You'll get a worked out plan and other diet recommendations based on your needs.

-They'll help you identify and work through obstacles, as well as formulate realistic and appropriate health goals.

- They'll keep you accountable throughout your nutrition journey.

- They'll provide you with much needed support and motivation.

- They can help you develop a healthy relationship with food and eating.

The initial consultation is generally longer. This is because it entails a thorough assessment of your situation, including your eating habits, medical history, activity level and health goals. 

Your consultation cost R350.00 once off and thereafter you buy your package and from there the Nutritionist walk the road with you for FREE in order to reach your goal.

Generally, already in your first 7 Days you will see and feel a difference. Overall, 4 to 6 weeks for most individuals. However, this is based on the extend of your health concerns and response to intervention plans.

The list is endless: Your goals, your barriers to overcoming poor lifestyle & dietary habits, your health concerns, your daily nutritional intake, your supplement regime, etc.

Both Nutritionists and Dietitians specialize in nutritional sciences. Both professions focus on helping individuals and groups of people make healthy decisions to manage underlying medical conditions or improve overall wellness. Whereas Dietitians are trained professionals who promote nutritional well-being and treat medical conditions through medical nutrition therapy and are way more expensive than a Nutritionist.
