Clinical and Functional Nutrition focuses on assessing nutritional status and supporting the treatment and prevention of metabolic and functional alterations through individualised dietary strategies.<\/p>\n

Nutritional counselling is structured in a personalised way, taking into account the specific needs of each person, promoting eating habits suited to the clinical context and the objectives defined in the consultation.<\/p>\n

The nutritionist's intervention includes food education, practical guidance and continuous monitoring, allowing the diet plan to be adjusted progressively and sustainably.<\/p>\n

Food has an impact on multiple systems in the body and can influence parameters such as energy, body composition and general well-being. At Integrativa, the nutritionist works in a personalised way, without rigid approaches, supporting more informed dietary decisions adapted to defined clinical objectives.<\/p>\n

Principles such as respecting the seasonality of food, reducing consumption of ultra-processed products and consciously choosing nutritionally adequate and environmentally responsible options are valued.<\/p>\n

The aim of the counselling is to support the construction of a sustainable dietary pattern, compatible with individual preferences and established clinical guidelines. Food education is an integral part of the process, promoting practical skills to integrate balanced choices into everyday life.<\/p>\n

Nutritional intervention is carried out by a nutritionist specialising in functional and integrative nutrition based on a detailed assessment, the definition of realistic goals and continuous monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
