Welcome
Happy New Year to all our customers, clients and friends!
At The Food Clinic we strive to provide a service that will satisfy our patient and client needs. In response to client demand we have continued our recently introduced once-a-month Saturday clinic (full details below).
We welcome Jackie Green to The Food Clinic team. Jackie is an oncology dietitian with extensive experience of oncology nutrition having worked for over 14 years at The Royal Marsden Hospital in the UK, the largest cancer hospital in Europe.
To book an appointment or find out further information please call Karen Melwani, our receptionist on 6254 3714.
We look forward to welcoming you.
Expat Cancer Support Group Talk
Jackie Green will be providing a demonstration for cancer sufferers on how to include anti-angiogenic and other beneficial foods in your diet. Please contact Laura Williams at laura@canhope.org to reserve a place for this talk. Places are limited. The talk will take place at The Food Clinic premises in Phoenix Park on Friday 24th February at 10.00am.
The Feeding Clinic
 This service offered to our patients is jointly led by a Dietitian
and Clinical Psychologist and aims to ease feeding and mealtime
issues.
An initial assessment will identify the problem areas and provide
parents with the tools to help their child feel confident about new and familiar foods. Recommended follow-up sessions may include a mealtime observation conducted at home, a fun food challenge for the child, a child anxiety management session or participation in Food Fun sessions for children.
All are aimed to take away the fear, stress and pressure often associated with mealtimes. Ultimately we want to put some excitement, fun, discovery and enjoyment back into eating and food for the whole family! Our Feeding Clinic is aimed at parents and children aged from 2 years onwards.
For further details or to find out if this service would benefit your family and child, please call our clinic on: 6254 3714

Lose Weight Feel Great with The Food Clinic
Do you find that you end up putting on weight rather than losing it after going on a diet? Do you feel great for the first few days of your diet but soon lose motivation or get hungry and revert to your old ways? Then you are not alone as dieting isn't easy.
Losing weight and keeping it off takes time, dedication, support and planning. At The Food Clinic our weight management programme is a dietitian-led clinic for people wanting to achieve a healthier weight and lifestyle through evidence-based practice. You can choose how many appointments you need but we recommend you attend for a 6-month period which includes weekly appointments for 3 months and then monthly appointments for 3 months.
Each appointment is personalised and practical with a non-dieting approach. An initial assessment will give us an opportunity to learn more about you so that we can set some goals together. At subsequent appointments we provide you with support and advice on ways to control your calorie intake, increase your activity levels, cope with the behavioural aspects of making changes and most importantly, encourage you to enjoy your food.
For further information on this programme, please call our clinic on 6254 3714.

Cooking Courses and Workshops - Coming soon!
Food Fun - sessions for children
These sessions are conducted by both the Dietitian and Clinical Psychologist and focus on presenting different foods to children in a fun and relaxed way, using stories, games and activities involving food. During these sessions there is no pressure for the child to put food in their mouths or to eat; the main goal is to have fun with food.
Sessions may be with groups of children of a similar age and for younger children the sessions will be for children and parents together.
These sessions usually take place on Saturday mornings.
To register or to receive further information on any of the above please call The Food Clinic on: 6254 3714 or e-mail enquiries@thefoodclinic.com
