Nutritional consultations at the GesondheetsZentrum is aimed at people aged 16 and over.
Dietary treatment
The dietician advises the patient individually and personalized in terms of nutrition and eating behavior or elaborates a nutritional therapy. She accompanies and supports the patient so that he can better achieve the agreed goals.
The number of consultations and the duration of nutritional therapy depend on the treatment motive, the severity of the health problem and the progression of the patient. The number of consultation hours reimbursed by the state National Health Fund should not be decisive, but rather the actual needs of the patient.

• Eating disorders – From a disturbed eating behavior to an eating disorder.
• Advice on a balanced diet – It is usually aimed at healthy people who want to change their diet for various reasons and want to benefit as much as possible from the nutrients and other vital substances contained in food in order to maintain good health.
• Nutritional therapy – It is aimed at patients with health problems or diseases. Nutritional therapy is often used to accompany medical therapy or is even the sole treatment option.
• Overweight and obesity – The sustainable treatment for obesity should ideally not (anymore) consist of a strict calorie-reduced diet in the classical sense.
• For information on the diseases for which a reimbursement by the CNS exists, see www.cns.lu. Services provided by dietitians are only covered by the CNS if they are provided following an original and prior medical prescription.

The diseases or health problems to be treated by the nutritionist depend on the respective areas of competence or specializations. We would therefore like to inform you that the following diseases are not treated in the GesondheetsZentrum: Chronic renal failure, Crohn’s disease, hemorrhagic rectocolitis, mucoviscidosis.

A few words about myself…

I am a qualified and registered dietitian with specializations in the areas of mindful eating, as well as in caring for people who suffer from an imbalance in their relationship with food (eating disorders, unhealthy eating habits (emotions, stress, etc.).

There are two approaches that guide me in my work. The first is a mindfulness-based approach and the second is the systemic approach. I think that the way a person eats is the result of several factors, such as the family environment, the professional environment, the education he received as a child, or, for example, the ability to cope with stress. Many people know exactly what they should eat, but they don’t put it into practice on a daily basis. So, I invite patients, in addition to the nutritional advice itself, to analyze their eating behavior. In order to, for example, find out what can trigger the desire to eat even if the person is not really hungry, at least not physically. Stress and difficult emotions often play an important role because they make us eat unconsciously. The practice of mindful eating teaches us to eat more consciously. It strengthens the connection to ourselves, sensitizes our senses to better feel and understand our body, the signals of hunger and satiety e.g. Mindful eating helps us respect our true needs instead of eating at inappropriate times. I wish every person a healthy and natural relationship with food, free from prohibitions, restrictions or frustration.
