Nutritionist

If all of this sounds familiar to you, or if you are concerned about feeling ill and getting frequent viral illnesses at a normal weight, decreased immunity, decreased muscle tone and frequent stress, then you need to make an appointment with a nutritionist.

A nutritionist is a specialist whose job is to select a proper and effective diet, identify the cause of overweight or underweight and metabolic disorders. It is not for nothing that Hippocrates said: “You are what you eat”.
