Frequently Asked Questions

Most initial consultations last between 60 and 90 minutes, which allows sufficient time to thoroughly discuss your background, eating habits, health objectives, and preferences. This duration ensures we gather comprehensive information needed to develop a truly personalized strategy. Follow-up sessions are typically shorter—around 30-45 minutes—and focus on reviewing your progress, adjusting strategies as needed, and addressing any new questions or challenges that have emerged since your last visit.

During your first consultation, our strategist will begin by understanding your background—including your current eating patterns, lifestyle rhythm, work schedule, family situation, and any specific food preferences or restrictions. We'll discuss your objectives clearly so we understand what success looks like for you. You'll also share information about your activity level, sleep patterns, stress management, and any areas where you feel your current eating habits aren't serving you well. Based on this comprehensive conversation, we'll develop initial strategic recommendations and discuss what your personalized nutrition plan might look like going forward. You'll leave with actionable insights and a clear sense of the next steps.

While keeping a food diary beforehand is not mandatory, many clients find it helpful to track their eating for 3-5 days before the consultation. This gives you and your strategist concrete information about your current habits and makes the consultation more productive. However, if tracking feels overwhelming or intrusive, you can simply observe your patterns mentally and share them during our conversation. Your strategist is skilled at drawing out relevant information through discussion, so the consultation will be effective either way. The key is arriving with an openness to explore your nutrition patterns honestly.

We offer both in-person consultations at our Leipzig location (Bahnhofstraße 103) and online video consultations via secure video call. Many clients prefer online sessions for convenience, especially if they have busy schedules or live outside the immediate area. The quality of consultation is comparable in both formats, as the strategist can still gather all necessary information and provide personalized recommendations through video. You can choose whichever format works best for your lifestyle and preferences when you schedule your appointment.

Our recommendations are highly individualized. Rather than suggesting a one-size-fits-all diet plan, we develop strategies that respect your current lifestyle, budget, cooking skills, food preferences, and cultural background. If you're a busy professional with limited time for cooking, your plan will look different than someone who enjoys meal preparation. If you have specific foods you dislike or cultural dishes you want to prioritize, these are woven into your strategy. This personalization is what makes the difference between advice you ignore and advice you can actually follow for the long term. We believe sustainable change comes from strategies that fit your real life, not from overhauling your life to fit a rigid plan.

Our strategists are experienced in working with various dietary approaches and restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and many others. We also understand different cultural cuisines and can create strategies that honor your background and food traditions. If you follow a specific eating philosophy—whether that's Mediterranean-style eating, plant-forward nutrition, or a focus on whole foods—we incorporate those preferences into your plan. The consultation is specifically designed to explore these aspects with you, so bring whatever dietary considerations are important to you, and we'll build a strategy around them.

The frequency of follow-ups depends on your goals and preferences. Some people benefit from monthly check-ins during the first few months to build confidence and fine-tune their strategy. Others prefer quarterly sessions to stay on track and make adjustments as their circumstances change. Many clients find that after establishing their initial strategy, they can maintain progress independently and return for consultations when they want to explore new goals or address new challenges. Your strategist will recommend a follow-up schedule based on your situation, but you maintain full control over how often you engage. There's no one-size-fits-all answer—it depends on your individual needs and learning style.

Our nutrition strategy consultations focus on helping you develop sustainable, personalized approaches to eating that fit your real life. Rather than prescribing rigid meal plans or relying on external measurements and testing, we emphasize understanding your unique context and building practical habits you can maintain long-term. We work with you as a collaborative partner in creating change, respecting your autonomy and preferences. Our strategists listen carefully to your lifestyle, constraints, and goals, then help you design an approach that feels natural and achievable. This partnership-based, lifestyle-focused approach is distinct from more prescriptive models and tends to produce better long-term results because the strategies actually align with how you live.

Bring any food tracking notes you've kept (if you chose to record a few days of eating), a list of foods you particularly enjoy or dislike, information about your typical daily schedule and activity level, and details about any foods you avoid for any reason. If you prefer, you can simply come prepared to discuss these topics verbally—there's no need to bring written documentation. It's most helpful to arrive with an open mind and a clear sense of what you hope to achieve. The conversation itself is the primary tool we use to gather information and develop your personalized strategy.
