Dietitian: what to know

A dietitian supports people who wish to adapt their diet for health reasons. They assess eating habits and provide personalised nutritional advice, particularly for diabetes, excess weight, digestive diseases, food allergies or undernutrition, taking everyday life into account.

When to book an appointment

• Diabetes or high cholesterol requiring changes to your diet
• Excess weight or unintended weight loss needing support
• A food allergy, intolerance or chronic digestive complaint
• Specific nutritional needs during pregnancy or sport

Costs in Switzerland

Nutritional advice from a recognised dietitian is covered by basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG) on medical prescription for certain conditions, such as diabetes or obesity.
