Dr. Daphna Atar
Clinical Nutritionist

I am a clinical nutritionist with a PhD in biology and have a lifelong passion and interest in science, health and nutrition. My main focus is the importance of healthy and balanced eating for a person’s physical and mental wellbeing. However healthy and balanced is not enough for people with conditions so then I have to create more specialised plans for them. As many people suffer from various health conditions, the need for managing these conditions with specialised diets has become evident.

Clinical or medical nutrition is therefore not a “one size fits all” approach. When I am working with a client, I first carry out a thorough assessment of my client’s health concerns in the context of his or her medical history (genetics, medications etc) and lifestyle factors (dietary habits, fitness, workload, other stress factors). This information gives me a deeper understanding of my client’s unique needs and personal preferences, allowing me to individually advise, educate and counsel on how to make the necessary dietary changes.
