Nutrition & Diet Services We Offer
Diabetes Diet Management
Managing diabetes effectively requires more than just avoiding sugar. Our dietitian helps patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes understand how different foods affect blood glucose levels, how to plan meals around glycaemic index, how to balance carbohydrates, proteins and fats for stable blood sugar, and what to eat before and after physical activity. We also work with pre-diabetic patients to help prevent the condition from progressing.
Heart-Healthy Nutrition
High cholesterol, hypertension, triglyceride imbalances and a family history of cardiovascular disease all require dietary attention. Our dietitian creates heart-friendly meal plans that manage sodium intake, reduce unhealthy fats, increase fibre and incorporate heart-protective nutrients. Dietary changes alongside medication prescribed by your physician are essential for long-term cardiovascular management.
Kidney Disease & Renal Diet
Kidney disease requires careful management of protein, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and fluid intake. Getting this balance wrong can accelerate kidney damage. Our dietitian works with your nephrologist's recommendations to create a renal diet that supports kidney function while ensuring adequate nutrition.
Celiac Disease & Food Allergies
Celiac disease is an immune condition where a person reacts to gluten in their food. Our nutritionist can help suggest and create a meal plan which includes a gluten-free diet that meets all nutritional needs. We also help patients with other food allergies (dairy, soy, wheat, nuts) find safe, balanced alternatives.
Sports & Fitness Nutrition
Whether you are an athlete, a gym-goer, or someone starting a fitness journey, our dietitian can create performance-oriented meal plans that align with your training goals - whether that is muscle gain, fat loss, endurance improvement or general fitness support.
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge-eating disorder have a significant nutritional component. At Fairway Clinic, our dietitian works closely with our psychiatrists and psychologists to provide integrated treatment. While the psychological and psychiatric team addresses the mental health aspects, our dietitian helps patients rebuild a healthy relationship with food, restore nutritional balance, and develop sustainable eating patterns
Digestive & Gut Health
Conditions such as IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), acid reflux (GERD), bloating, chronic constipation and food intolerances often respond well to dietary modifications. Our dietitian can guide you through elimination diets, identify trigger foods, and build a gut-friendly eating plan that reduces symptoms.
Weight Loss & Weight Management
We assess your current eating habits, lifestyle, activity level, medical history and metabolic factors to create a realistic, sustainable meal plan that helps you lose weight without nutritional deficiencies or the cycle of losing and regaining. If you have been trying to lose weight through fad diets, intermittent fasting trends or social media advice without lasting results, a clinical dietitian can identify why your approach is not working and build a plan grounded in your body's actual requirements.
Nutrition for Mental Health & Psychiatric Medication Management
This is a service that most standalone nutrition clinics cannot offer. Many psychiatric medications, including antidepressants, mood stabilizers and antipsychotics, can cause weight gain, metabolic changes, increased appetite or nutritional deficiencies. Our dietitian understands these medication-related effects and creates dietary plans that help patients manage their weight and metabolic health while continuing their prescribed psychiatric treatment. Research increasingly shows that diet affects mental health. Nutritional deficiencies, particularly in Vitamin D, B12, iron, omega-3 fatty acids and magnesium, can worsen symptoms of depression, anxiety and fatigue. Our dietitian screens for these deficiencies and incorporates corrective nutrition into your plan.
PCOS Diet Planning
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women in Pakistan. Diet plays a critical role in managing PCOS symptoms, including weight gain, insulin resistance, irregular periods, acne and hair loss. Our dietitian creates PCOS-specific meal plans that focus on balancing blood sugar levels, reducing inflammation through anti-inflammatory foods, managing insulin resistance with appropriate carbohydrate balance, and supporting hormonal health through targeted nutrition.
Dietitian vs. Nutritionist: Which One YOU SHOULD SEE?
In Pakistan, the terms “dietitian” and “nutritionist” are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference. A registered dietitian holds a clinical degree in nutrition science and is trained to manage medical conditions through evidence-based nutrition therapy. A nutritionist may have a general background in food and wellness, but is not necessarily qualified to treat medical conditions through diet.
At Fairway Clinic, Dr. Irzah Farooq is a clinically trained dietitian with a Doctor of Nutrition Sciences degree. She is qualified to provide medical nutrition therapy, not just general healthy eating advice. If you need dietary management for a medical condition (diabetes, PCOS, kidney disease, heart problems, or eating disorders), you should consult a clinical dietitian rather than a general nutritionist.
What to Expect at Your First Consultation
When you visit our dietitian at Fairway Clinic, the process typically works as follows:
Initial assessment (30-45 minutes): Our doctor will take a detailed history covering your current eating habits and daily routine, any medical conditions and medications you are taking, your weight history and body composition, any digestive complaints or food intolerances, your lifestyle, activity level and work schedule, and your specific goals (weight loss, disease management, general health improvement).
Personalized diet plan: Based on your assessment, a customized meal plan is created. This is not a generic chart; it takes into account your food preferences, cultural eating patterns, budget, cooking capabilities and family meals. The plan is designed to be practical and sustainable.
Follow-up appointments: Follow-ups are typically scheduled every 2-4 weeks to track progress, adjust the plan, address challenges, and monitor health markers (weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc.).
Coordination with other specialists: If your nutritional concern is linked to a medical or psychiatric condition, we can coordinate directly with the relevant specialist at Fairway Clinic. For example, if you are a psychiatric patient experiencing medication-related weight gain, your dietitian and psychiatrist can adjust your care plan together.
