Being underweight & unintended weight loss are raised less often than the opposite & deserve at least as much attention.
Our first task is to identify the cause.
Where further investigation is needed, we refer you specifically & stay involved in your care.
Appetite, chewing & swallowing, side effects of medication, mood (psychological strain).
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, coeliac disease, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, condition after surgery, disorders of the pancreas.
An overactive thyroid, chronic inflammation, infections & tumour disease. We investigate this group first because it is time-critical.
Explaining the actual need for macro- & micronutrients as well as nutrient ratios in everyday life.
first appointment
Weight course, eating habits, complaints, previous illnesses & all medication. We also examine you & measure body composition.
same day where needed
Laboratory panel, if useful with inflammation, thyroid, liver & kidney values, ultrasound of the abdomen, further diagnostics where needed.
after the findings
We go through the results together & discuss what follows from them. From that we build a concrete plan with goals that suit your daily life.
over several months
We meet at regular appointments & adjust the plan where needed. What matters to us is that the steps fit your circumstances.
As a guide: more than five per cent of body weight within six months, without you doing anything to cause it. In older people & with existing illnesses we look more closely even earlier.
Do come together. We first clarify whether a treatable cause lies behind it & then discuss what is practical in everyday life, including preparation, meal structure & nutritional drinks.
Yes. With your consent we coordinate with your treating oncology team so that nutritional therapy & cancer treatment fit together. The aim is to preserve muscle mass & resilience during treatment.
That question is best answered together. Do arrange an appointment, then we can look calmly at your weight course, body composition & complaints.
