Struggling with weight management, medical conditions, or lifestyle changes? Your journey to a healthier lifestyle begins here. At Dr. Helena Taylor’s clinic, our dedicated team of expert nutritionists is committed to guiding you on the path to better living through personalised nutrition plans. We understand that everyone’s nutrition needs are different, which is why we take the time to understand you, your unique needs, and your health goals.
While both dietitians and nutritionists work in the field of nutrition, there are differences between the two roles.
Dietitians typically need to be licensed or registered, often holding degrees in dietetics or related fields. Dietitians in Dubai are governed by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and are required to hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in nutrition, as well as a DHA license. They are trained to provide medical nutrition therapy and can work in clinical settings, such as hospitals, to develop dietary plans for patients with medical conditions.
Nutritionists, on the other hand, may have varying levels of education and credentials, and their scope of practice can vary widely. They may focus on general nutrition education and wellness rather than medical nutrition therapy.
A nutritionist can provide personalised guidance and support tailored to your unique needs and goals. You should consult a nutritionist for:
If you want to improve your overall health, manage your weight, or enhance athletic performance.
For assistance managing medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or food allergies.
When dealing with digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, or gastrointestinal reflux.
To ensure optimal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation, addressing any specific needs or concerns.
For support in overcoming eating disorders or disordered eating habits.
If you’re considering a specific diet plan such as vegetarianism, veganism, or gluten-free, and need guidance on how to meet your nutritional requirements.
Nutritionists specialise in providing expert advice on food and nutrition. They assess individual dietary needs, develop personalised meal plans, educate clients on healthy eating habits, and address nutritional concerns to promote overall health and well-being.
