Specialist Dietitian Nazlı Gülşah Doğan

I am Nazlı Gülşah Doğan, a specialist dietitian based in Istanbul. I see clients in person at my office in Ataşehir and online, in English, for people living abroad, including in the UAE, Qatar and Europe. My main areas of work are pregnancy and breastfeeding nutrition, weight management and medical nutrition therapy.

Education

• BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics, Yeditepe University, Istanbul (English-taught programme), graduated with honours in 2016.
• MSc, Yeditepe University, completed with distinction in 2019, which entitled me to the title of specialist dietitian. My thesis, based on laboratory research, examined the presence of antibiotics in chicken.
• Health Institutions Management, Anadolu University, completed in 2017 as a second degree.

Clinical Training and Experience

During my studies I trained as an intern at several hospitals in Istanbul, including Medical Park Bahçelievler Hospital, Çapa Faculty of Medicine Research Hospital, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital and Academic Hospital. Between 2017 and 2020 I worked with clients at a private clinic in Istanbul, preparing and following up nutrition programmes. In 2020 I founded the Nazlı Gülşah Doğan Diet Academy to offer my experience and methods to clients within ethical principles.

Certificates

Throughout my education and career I have completed courses led by specialists in their fields, including Carbohydrate Counting, Bariatric Surgery Nutrition, Bariatric Surgery Dietitian Course, Cancer and Nutrition in Treatment and Prevention, Phytotherapy, Nutritional Supplements and Joint Health, Nutrigenetics, Eating Disorders Dietitian Course, Sports Dietitian training (Treps), Nutritional Supplements and Life Coaching, and Personalised Nutrition.

My Approach

I see nutrition as a science, and I build every plan on current evidence and on the person in front of me: their health, test results, culture, routine and the food available where they live. I believe chronic diseases linked to nutrition can often be prevented through education, so I continue to give healthy eating and obesity talks at schools and companies. Nutrition counselling does not replace medical care; for medical conditions and during pregnancy I work alongside your doctor.

Languages and Interests

I speak English fluently, which allows me to work with international clients, and I am learning Spanish. In my free time I create new recipes that blend Turkish and world cuisines, try practical alternatives my clients can use, practise modern calligraphy and yoga, and travel.
