When may nutrition counselling be useful?

Individual nutrition counselling may support you, for example, with overweight or obesity, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated blood lipid levels or fatty liver disease. We also consider your individual situation if you have other nutrition-related concerns or questions.

You will not receive a general diet plan that is the same for everyone. We review together which changes are medically appropriate and can fit into your daily life.

The initial consultation: 60 minutes

Before your first appointment, keep a three-day food diary. During the consultation, we discuss your health, your current diet, your eating habits and your goals. We consider any available laboratory results and medical findings where they are relevant to your counselling.

Based on this, we develop individual recommendations, for example about meal structure, protein and nutrient intake, and practical changes in daily life. Together, we decide where you would like to start and how you can recognise your progress.

Cost: estimated €140 for 60 minutes.

How to prepare

During the two weeks before your initial appointment, record your diet on three days:

• two weekdays;
• one weekend day.

Record meals, snacks and drinks as completely as possible. Also bring any recent laboratory results and relevant medical documents you have.

The follow-up consultation: 30 minutes

Changing your diet is an ongoing process in daily life. At the follow-up appointment, we discuss which recommendations worked, what difficulties came up and what we should adjust. The number of follow-up appointments depends on your individual needs.

Cost: estimated €70 for 30 minutes.

How to ask about a contribution from your health insurer

Health insurers do not automatically cover the cost of individual nutrition counselling. Some insurers contribute under certain conditions. The amount and number of appointments eligible for a contribution can vary.

Please check cost coverage before starting counselling:

1. Ask your treating doctor to issue a certificate confirming that nutrition counselling is medically necessary.

2. Request a cost estimate and proof of nutrition medicine qualifications from us.

3. Submit the documents to your health insurer. Ask whether it recognises our counselling, which appointments are eligible for a contribution and how much it will contribute.

4. After your appointments, submit your invoice and any other required documents according to your health insurer's instructions.

You may still have to pay part of the cost even if your health insurer agrees to contribute. We cannot guarantee reimbursement. Examinations, body composition analyses, medication and treatment with a weight loss injection are not automatically included in a possible contribution towards nutrition counselling.

Combining nutrition counselling with a weight loss injection

If you would also like an assessment of whether a weight loss injection is suitable for you, Dr. Gjolli offers a different initial appointment: 60 minutes for an estimated €289. It includes nutrition counselling with review of your three-day food diary, a medical suitability assessment, an abdominal ultrasound, weighing and body composition analysis.

Of this planned total, €140 is allocated to nutrition counselling. Check before your appointment whether your health insurer may contribute to this part of the cost. The contribution does not automatically cover the other services.
