Dietetics
Personalised nutritional advice for a healthy, balanced diet.
Dietetics in Koekelberg: what is it?
Dietetics means adapting your diet to your health, your goals and your lifestyle. The dietitian looks at your habits, then builds a realistic eating plan with you, with no miracle diets, for lasting results.
At Centre Médical Koekelberg, two dietitians support adults and children: rebalancing your diet, weight management, children’s nutrition and the follow-up of chronic conditions. One of them is also a diabetes educator.
