"We deal with weight reduction and weight gain. Also nutrition before and after gallbladder surgery, pancreatic problems, liver or kidney problems, inflammatory bowel diseases, high cholesterol, oncological diseases and gluten or lactose intolerance," explains the new nutritional therapist Petra Brušáková, DiS.
She and her colleague Maria Šauerová, DiS. provide expert advice on nutrition and therapeutic nutrition to adult patients. It is not a dietetic consulting room. "On the first visit we discuss information from the medical report from the attending physician and the diet record, if the patient brings it. We will also take measurements on the InBody device and evaluate the results," explains Petra Brušáková, DiS.
At the next visit, the client will receive a dietary (nutritional) plan designed specifically for him/her and, if necessary, other recommendations and educational materials.
The nutrition counselling clinic is located in the new diabetes centre under the main entrance to the hospital. From mid-February it will now be open every Friday from 8am to 2pm, in addition to Mondays (10am to 6pm) and Wednesdays (3pm to 6pm). Those interested can make an appointment at the nutrition clinic via the main reception of the hospital in Horovice by calling 311 555 000. For the first appointment, they will bring a request form and a health report from their attending physician.
