Nutrition support by stage of pregnancy

  1. Before pregnancy

    Preparing for pregnancy

    Your eating pattern is prepared for pregnancy, based on your test results and habits.

  2. Weeks 1–13

    First trimester

    Meal patterns that suit nausea and appetite changes, with attention to nutrients such as folate and iodine.

  3. Weeks 14–27

    Second trimester

    Rising energy and protein needs, iron and calcium sources, and monitoring weight change.

  4. Weeks 28–40

    Third trimester

    Meal planning for heartburn and constipation, and nutrition while preparing for birth.

  5. After birth

    Breastfeeding

    Eating for higher fluid and energy needs, and support during postpartum recovery.

Nutrition counselling does not replace medical care; throughout pregnancy we work alongside your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about how counselling works.

Still have questions? Just ask us!

Message on WhatsApp
What happens in the first in-person session in Istanbul?

At the Ataşehir office we start with a body composition analysis and a review of your health history, recent blood tests, eating habits and goals. Your personal nutrition plan is then prepared and adjusted at regular follow-up sessions.

How do online consultations work?

Online sessions follow the same approach. We meet by video call, you take simple weekly measurements at home with a scale and tape measure, and your plan is updated at each session, with follow-up over WhatsApp in between. Results vary from person to person.

Can you support me during pregnancy if I live abroad?

Yes. Online pregnancy nutrition consultations are held in English, from preparing for pregnancy through each trimester to breastfeeding. Your plan follows your pregnancy week and test results, and works alongside the care of your obstetrician or midwife.

Which time zones do you work with?

Sessions are held from Istanbul (GMT+3), which is the same time as Doha and Riyadh and one hour behind Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Clients in the UK and Europe usually choose early evening slots. We agree on a time that suits your schedule.

I use a weight-loss injection prescribed by my doctor. Can you help?

Yes, with the nutrition side. Your doctor prescribes and monitors the medication; I help you get enough protein, fluids, fibre, vitamins and minerals with a smaller appetite, protect muscle mass and plan meals that may ease digestive discomfort.

How do I know which service is right for me?

In the first session we look at your eating habits, health history, test results and goals. Based on this we agree on the most suitable programme, whether that is pregnancy nutrition, weight management or medical nutrition therapy.

Personal Nutrition Counselling with Specialist Dietitian Nazlı Gülşah Doğan

I am a specialist dietitian based in Istanbul, holding a BSc (with honours) and an MSc in Nutrition and Dietetics from Yeditepe University. I see clients in person at my office in Ataşehir, Istanbul, and online, in English, from anywhere in the world. Many of my online clients live in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and elsewhere abroad. Every plan is built around your health, your test results, your routine and the food you can actually buy where you live.

Pregnancy Nutrition: Before, During and After Pregnancy

Pregnancy is the area I focus on most. Your nutritional needs change from one trimester to the next, and small, practical adjustments can make daily life easier for you and support your baby's development. I work alongside your obstetrician or midwife, never instead of them.

  • Preconception nutrition: preparing your eating pattern, weight balance and key nutrients such as folate and iron before you conceive.
  • Pregnancy nutrition: meal plans for each trimester, healthy weight gain monitored with your doctor, and practical support for nausea, heartburn, constipation or gestational diabetes.
  • Breastfeeding nutrition: meeting higher energy and fluid needs while you recover after birth.

If you are expecting and live abroad, see online pregnancy nutrition support.

Online Consultations for Clients in the UAE, Qatar and Worldwide

My online dietitian consultations follow the same approach as in-person sessions. We meet by video call, your plan is adapted to local supermarkets and cuisine, and follow-up continues over WhatsApp between sessions. Istanbul is on GMT+3, the same time as Doha and one hour behind Dubai and Abu Dhabi, so finding a convenient slot is easy. Read more about online sessions for Dubai and Abu Dhabi and for Qatar (Doha). Consultations are held online from Istanbul.

Weight Management and GLP-1 Nutrition Support

Weight loss support focuses on habits you can keep, not short-term restriction, and healthy weight gain plans protect muscle mass. If your doctor has prescribed a GLP-1 weight-loss medication, all decisions about the medication stay with your doctor. My role is the nutrition side: enough protein, fluids, fibre, vitamins and minerals despite a smaller appetite, and a meal pattern that may ease digestive discomfort. Learn more about nutrition support while using GLP-1 medication. Results vary from person to person.

Medical Nutrition Therapy

For heart disease, fatty liver, kidney disease, gout or Crohn's disease, medical nutrition therapy supports the treatment planned by your doctor. Plans take your blood tests, medication and your doctor's recommendations into account. Please see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

How It Works

  • First session: we review your health history, eating habits, recent blood tests and goals. In person, this includes a body composition analysis.
  • Your personal plan is prepared and adjusted to your daily routine.
  • Regular follow-up sessions keep the plan up to date, and your questions are answered along the way.
