Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Clinical Dietitian and a Nutritionist in the UAE?

A licensed Clinical Dietitian like Reem Alketbi has completed rigorous medical training and is legally qualified to provide medical nutrition therapy for diseases like diabetes and heart conditions. A general nutritionist usually focuses strictly on basic lifestyle and fitness advice without a clinical medical background.

How can a nutritionist help with IBS and severe stomach bloating?

Gut health issues are very common in Dubai. Reem provides highly customized dietary plans such as the clinical low FODMAP diet. This structured approach helps identify your specific food triggers, manage painful bloating, and restore daily digestive comfort without unnecessary long term food restrictions.

Do you provide weight loss meal plans for patients with diabetes or obesity?

Yes. We do not believe in extreme fad diets. Instead, Reem creates sustainable and medically sound weight management plans that specifically help stabilize your blood sugar levels, significantly reduce insulin resistance, and promote healthy fat loss for life.

Can a nutritionist help manage diagnosed food allergies and intolerances?

Absolutely. Reem expertly helps you navigate complex dietary restrictions. She ensures you maintain optimal nutrient intake while safely avoiding hidden trigger foods in your daily life, grocery shopping, and when dining out at restaurants.

Why is specialized nutrition so important during cancer treatment?

Proper clinical nutrition is vital to maintain physical strength, preserve healthy muscle mass, and manage harsh oncology treatment side effects like nausea or loss of appetite. Reem offers highly compassionate nutritional support tailored perfectly to each phase of your specific cancer treatment.

Can I get a healthy meal plan that includes traditional Emirati or Arab foods?

Yes. Reem perfectly understands local culture and regional culinary preferences. Your customized nutrition plan will integrate your favorite traditional meals in a balanced way, keeping you aligned with your medical goals while still enjoying the foods you love.

How does medical nutrition therapy improve heart disease and high cholesterol?

Targeted dietary changes are the first line of defense in cardiovascular care. Reem designs specific heart healthy meal plans aimed at lowering LDL cholesterol, managing high blood pressure, and reducing internal inflammation to protect your long term heart health.

Is nutritionist counseling covered by health insurance in Dubai?

Medical nutrition therapy is frequently covered by major UAE health insurance networks, especially when officially prescribed by a doctor for diagnosed conditions like diabetes, obesity, or heart disease. We advise contacting our clinic to verify your specific policy coverage prior to booking.
