What people come to me with
Women's health 40+
“My eating has not changed, but my body and how I feel have.”
- nutrition in perimenopause and menopause
- protein, calcium, vitamin D and other values worth monitoring
- what is supported by data and what remains a promise
Weight loss and control
“I have tried different diets, the weight comes back, and I no longer know what to believe.”
- a review of your current diet and routine without bans “forever”
- blood test values and what affects weight beyond nutrition
- a strategy you can keep up for longer than a few weeks
Nutrition during GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 therapy
“I was prescribed a medication, but nobody explained how to eat now.”
- how to eat with reduced appetite without losing out on protein
- prevention of muscle mass loss
- tolerance, meal routine, gastrointestinal side effects
FMD programmes
“I want to try a fasting-mimicking programme, but I do not understand who it suits.”
- who the programme suits and who it is contraindicated for
- a structured menu with recipes for the whole cycle
- support before and after the programme
A nutrition specialist consultation does not replace medical supervision and does not include prescribing or changing medication.

About Svetlana
My name is Svetlana Aleksejeva. I am a certified nutrition specialist, Mg. sc. sal., PhD candidate in food science.
My work combines clinical practice, analysis of scientific data and an understanding of everyday life.
The goal is not another short-term diet, but changes that are necessary, safe and realistic.

Everyday work with patients who have comorbidities and prescribed therapy.

Teaching and professional recognition

Complex things are explained in plain language, with no need to take them on faith.
How the online consultation works
What the initial consultation includes
- history taking, including chronic conditions, food allergies and intolerances, gastrointestinal function and other factors relevant to nutrition;
- analysis of your current diet, including possible nutrient deficiencies, food combinations, portion sizes and meal structure;
- interpretation of submitted blood test results within the professional competence of a nutrition specialist;
- assessment of medication, vitamins and food supplements from a nutritional perspective, including potential nutritional risks and the need to coordinate further steps with your treating physician.
What you receive after the consultation
After the consultation you receive individual nutrition recommendations, a sample baseline diet for your goal, recommendations on nutraceutical support where there are justified indications, and recommendations for additional tests if needed.
