About the procedure
A nutritionist consultation is not a "diet" but a reset of the relationship with food based on metabolic panel data, autoimmune status and dietary history. The plan is built on the principles of therapeutic nutrition, not trending protocols.
Stages of the consultation: review of dietary history (a 3-day food diary that the client keeps before the program), interpretation of laboratory data in the context of nutrition, identification of the metabolic phenotype, discussion of the client's goals.
The output is two protocols. Short-term (21-day retreat): menu of the therapeutic-nutrition kitchen, exclusions, supplements. Long-term (90 days after return): a nutrition framework, baseline dishes, a 90-day lab follow-up checklist to assess dynamics.
Particular attention is paid to triggers for falling off the plan: social pressure, emotional overeating, lack of time. Without working on triggers, any plan falls apart in the third week after the retreat.
