The perception that access to dietetics is a luxury exclusively for the affluent is widely acknowledged as a significant issue and a major barrier to equitable health outcomes. Dietitian The Food Dr is a team of dedicated dietitians that believes in diversity and inclusivity, established to bridge the gap of disparity that stems from a complex interplay of socioeconomic, cultural, and structural factors.
We have partnered with South Africa’s largest open medical scheme, Discovery, as 1 of 4 dietetics practices in the country to roll out a weight management programme. Dietitian The Food Dr is also a regular guest on Power FM radio station, contributing to their health segment. We also form part of multidisciplinary teams supporting various physicians with clinical care for both adults and children, in and out of hospital.
