Good nutrition can support recovery, disease management and overall well-being. At Nanavati Max Hospital's Nutrition & Dietetics department in Mumbai, dietitians provide personalised nutrition guidance based on individual health needs rather than a generic diet chart. Nutrition support can be useful for people managing conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, weight-related concerns and other medical conditions, as well as those looking to build healthier and more sustainable eating habits.
The Nutrition and Dietetics department provides customised diet charts based on individual health requirements. Dietary recommendations can be planned according to the patient's medical condition, nutritional needs and health goals.
Nutrition support includes nutritional assessment and therapeutic diets for patients who require dietary changes as part of medical care. The department also provides nutrition support for pregnancy, children and weight-related concerns.
Nutrition care can be tailored to different health needs rather than following a standard diet plan. This allows dietary recommendations to be adapted according to the patient's condition and nutritional requirements.
The department includes clinical nutrition expertise in areas such as liver disease and metabolic health, with nutrition support for conditions including fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, metabolic syndrome, Crohn's disease and coeliac disease, as well as pre- and post-liver transplant nutrition.
Nutrition and Dietetics consultations are available through in-hospital appointments and video consultations, allowing patients to access medical nutrition therapy according to their needs.
Types of Nutrition Support We Offer
Nutrition needs can differ considerably depending on age, medical condition, treatment, and personal goals. The department provides condition-specific dietary guidance across a range of needs.
For conditions such as kidney disease and dialysis, dietary requirements can be highly individual. A renal diet should therefore be planned according to the patient's kidney function, treatment and advice from the treating medical team rather than assumed to follow a standard diet.
Nutrition care begins with an assessment of your health history, current eating pattern, nutritional needs and treatment goals. The dietitian can then develop a personalised plan suited to your condition, lifestyle and dietary preferences.
Depending on your needs, the plan may involve changes to meal composition, portion sizes, meal timing, nutrient intake or food choices. Follow-up can be recommended when ongoing monitoring or adjustment is required.
Nutrition care may also be coordinated with the wider medical team when dietary changes form part of treatment for an existing condition.
A nutrition consultation may involve reviewing your medical history, current diet, weight and relevant clinical information. Existing laboratory reports and other medical records can also help the dietitian understand your nutritional needs where relevant.
The assessment is followed by dietary recommendations tailored to your health condition and goals. These recommendations may be modified over time as your condition, treatment or nutritional requirements change.
The hospital also provides nutritional assessment and medical nutrition therapy through its Nutrition and Dietetics services.
The cost of nutrition and dietetic care can vary depending on the type of consultation and the individual's nutritional requirements.
Factors that may influence the overall cost include:
The applicable consultation charges can be discussed when scheduling an appointment.
Before your consultation, bring any recent laboratory reports, medical records and a list of current medicines or supplements. It can also be useful to note your usual eating pattern, any foods you avoid and specific concerns you want the dietitian to address.
You can book an appointment with a Nutrition and Dietetics specialist through the hospital's appointment system. In-hospital and video consultations are available for medical nutrition therapy.
If you are already receiving treatment for a medical condition, carrying your treating doctor's notes and relevant reports can help the dietitian tailor the plan appropriately.
Look for a qualified dietitian or clinical nutritionist with appropriate education, professional credentials, and experience relevant to your health needs. For medical conditions, it is also useful to choose a specialist who can work alongside your treating healthcare team when required.
There is no single diet that is suitable for everyone. A balanced eating pattern that includes a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, protein sources and healthy fats can support overall health. Individual requirements may differ according to age, medical conditions, medications, activity levels and nutritional goals.
Yes. A balanced diet that limits excess saturated and trans fats while including vegetables, fruits, whole grains and appropriate protein sources can support cardiovascular health. People with an existing heart condition may require a more specific dietary plan based on their treatment and other risk factors.
Nutrition can contribute to overall physical and mental wellbeing. A balanced diet provides the energy, protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients required for normal body functions. If you have a specific mental health or nutritional concern, dietary advice should be considered alongside appropriate medical care.
Consider whether the service offers personalised nutrition assessment, condition-specific dietary planning and access to qualified nutrition professionals. It is also useful to look for a service where dietary recommendations can be adapted as your medical condition or treatment changes. Nanavati Max Hospital provides Nutrition and Dietetics services across areas including medical nutrition therapy, therapeutic diets, nutritional assessment, and weight-related nutrition care.
