Dietary advice
The aim of dietary advice is to bring nutritional recommendations and eating behaviour in line with each other. Together with the guest we agree a customized nutritional stratergy based on a detailed diet history, which enables the guest to maintain the new eating plan when at home. We would be also happy to include family members in the consultation meeting. The individuality and the specific life situation of our guests are paramount during the consultation.
Individual dietary therapy
If you have a diagnosed food intolerance or allergy (histamine intolerance, lactose and fructose intolerance, celiac disease, ...), conditions of the digestive tract (gastritis, gastrointestinal surgery, ....), are underweight, etc., then you will be individually cared for by our dieticians. We use both special foods such as lactose reduced or gluten-free products as well as high-calorie nutritional supplements. After medical indication the diet plan is compiled togther with our dieticians and the menus are prepared for you accordingly.
We offer our guests brochures and recipes of various types to futher deepen the theoretical knowledge, for the occasional reference or reading and as a practical guide for home. Our focus areas include:
- Healthy diet
- Light whole foods
- Diabetes
- Elevated blood lipids
- Osteoporosis
- Multiple sclerosis
