Karen Protheroe - Dietician

Over the years, I have developed a passion for weight management and its associated emotional side-effects and causes. I also deal with the following:

• Emotional eating and Eating disorders in adults and children
• Irritable bowel syndrome and/or constipation
• High cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes
• Healthy eating in children including the fussy eaters
• Healthy eating in pregnancy
• Sports related eating plans
• Vitality diet assessments

I am registered with the Health Professionals Council of South Africa. This allows me to practice in South Africa and by law, I have to keep up with current and best practice guidelines within the nutrition field. It also means that clients can claim from medical aid for consultations.

I am also a member of the Association for Dietetics in South Africa. ADSA is the professional organization for Dieticians in South Africa and offers education and support to the Dietetic profession.
