Dietetics and nutrition play an essential role in the medical management of many disorders and diseases. They are key disciplines for preventing and treating common health issues such as overweight, abdominal pain, and digestive disorders.

We offer consultations for:
​
-
Overweight/Obesity: Develop personalized nutritional plans to reduce the intake of sugars and saturated fats while increasing fiber and lean proteins.
-
Abdominal Pain: Propose specific diets such as low FODMAP or gluten-free diets to relieve abdominal pain related to irritable bowel syndrome or celiac disease.
-
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Design dietary plans to manage gastroesophageal reflux, bloating, and food intolerances by fractionating meals and avoiding trigger foods.
-
Chronic Disease Management: Adapt diet to the specific needs of patients with diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, high cholesterol, or hypertension.
-
Nutrition for the Elderly: Provide advice to ensure a balanced diet that meets the specific nutritional needs of aging.
-
Optimization of Physical and Mental Performance: Develop diets tailored to athletes or individuals seeking to optimize their energy and concentration.
Our consultations are designed to provide practical, personalized, and science-based solutions, enabling everyone to improve their quality of life through healthy and tailored nutrition.
Our Specialists
Nelline Merglen
Dietician
I first took care of patients at home who needed enteral nutrition or insulin pumps.
​
I was part of the dietetic team of the camp for diabetic children for 7 years with Luz Perrenoud and Montserrat Castellsague.
​
In 2008, I joined the Hospital de la Tour, where I took charge of hospitalized patients suffering from malnutrition, digestive problems, following oncological or surgical treatments in the surgical unit of Dr.Megevand and Heinicke.
​
I specialized in the management of obese patients wishing to benefit from bariatric surgery (sleeve or by gastric pass) or drug treatment (Saxenda).
​
Since 2017, I have also been able to collaborate with Prof Pralong in the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Obesity of the Hospital of La Tour and participate in bringing patients a multidisciplinary approach to their chronic disease.
I seek to make my patient autonomous in his treatment by bringing him the knowledge so that he can feel better about his diet by working on food behavior. I am not a weight policeman but an ally in your health goal.
