Nutritional Counseling at Medwise Hospital
Nutrition plays a vital role in the overall health and well-being of cancer patients. At Medwise Hospital, our Nutritional Counseling program is designed to support patients through every stage of their cancer journey, ensuring they receive the proper nutrients to maintain strength, manage treatment side effects, and promote recovery. Our approach is personalized, compassionate, and rooted in the latest evidence-based practices.
Comprehensive Nutritional Assessment
Our Nutritional Counseling program begins with a comprehensive assessment of each patient’s dietary needs and challenges. This assessment includes:
- Nutritional Status Evaluation: Assessing weight, body mass index (BMI), muscle mass, and overall nutritional status.
- Dietary Intake Analysis: Reviewing the patient’s current diet, eating habits, and food preferences.
- Treatment Side Effects: Identifying how cancer treatments are affecting the patient’s ability to eat and absorb nutrients.
- Metabolic Needs: Evaluating the patient’s metabolic requirements based on their cancer type, stage, and treatment plan.
- Cultural and Personal Preferences: Taking into account cultural, religious, and personal food preferences to create a plan that the patient can comfortably follow.
