“After seeing several dietitians and following many weight loss programs, I can confidently say Mirna has the most effective weight loss approach. She helped me understand what I should eat, why, and in what proportions all while keeping a positive outlook all throughout. She supported me with all my questions and concerns until I have lost more than 30 kilos. I now only see her for follow ups once every 6 months and continue to lose weight on my own on a monthly basis” Tala Nehmeh

Nutrition Consultations for Adults and Teenagers by Mirna Sabbagh – Nutritionist in Dubai

An inBody analysis is part of every consultation in order to give Mirna a proper understanding of the body distribution. It is followed by setting goals and expectations and developing an individualized plan for the next few months to come. Weight loss results with Mirna are usually kilos that never come back. Book your appointment by calling our clinic on 04-4305926 or clicking on  book your appointment.

In addition to an Inbody analysis and nutrition consultation, Mirna can request the following upon your request:

1. DNA test to test if your body responds more effectively to lower carbohydrates or lower fats in addition to finding out if your body is more prone for snacking and weight regain.

2. Hormonal test to check if hormones are interfering with your weight loss goals

3. Micronutrient testing to check if you have a deficiency in any micronutrient that could be affecting your weight loss goals or health goals such as Vitamin E, Calcium, chromium, magnesium, selenium, zinc, Q10, Carnitine, Alpha lipoid acid, copper, Vitamin D and more.

4. Food intolerance test if you’d like to know if there could be any food intolerances causing your weight gain

Nutrition consultations for children by Mirna Sabbagh – Nutritionist in Dubai – She has won Time Out Kids Award for 2018.

Mirna Sabbagh strongly believes the key to a life of good health is a proper start. Mirna’s work with patients is in 2 parts: one is prevention of diseases and the other is treating or handling obesity or deficiencies when they occur. She has developed a obesity prevention program that has received outstanding results. It is never too early to start learning about eating better. Mirna sees babies from birth, including toddlers for starting solids consultations or preventing excess weight gain.

Dealing with children and teenagers who are obese or underweight is very delicate. She uses a very special approach with children and parents as she knows weight can be causing concern and clashes in the household. For helping children with weight loss or being underweight, she works on building rapport with the children and winning their trust. She then works on explaining the right kinds and amount of food for their age and body type. The last thing she would do is make children feel guilty or bad about their body. This is a very sensitive topic and should be treated as such. For children above 3, she also uses an Inbody analysis to understand the muscle and fat body composition, her consultations are followed by developing a suitable program for optimal results. The parents and children both usually love it. You can book your appointment through the book your appointment button. Many parents have things they’d like to say without the children hearing them, feel free to e-mail Mirna on mirna@mypediaclinic.com after booking your consultation explaining whatever you’d like.

” My daughter stopped eating sugar since we’ve stepped foot into Mirna’s clinic. I did not imagine this would happen, and it has positively influenced our whole house and greatly influenced our relationship together. My daughter’s weight is now in the normal range after she had been diagnosed as Obese” – Jen McMillon

“My relationship with my son was very aggravated because I kept nagging about him exercising more and eating less. As soon as Joe saw Mirna, she suggested that her relationship be with Joe alone and for me to take a supportive role. Since then Joe had lost all the excess weight and our relationship has never been better” Laura Ford
