Nutrition Counselling

Nutrition counselling is provided by MVDr. Michaela Vránková, a nutrition and food-hygiene specialist and certified nutrition and supplementation adviser. The sessions give personalised, practical guidance on how the way you eat affects both physical and mental health, and how to translate functional-medicine principles into a sustainable everyday diet. The initial 90-minute consultation maps your current eating patterns, goals and any specific challenges, while shorter 60-minute follow-ups refine the plan and keep you accountable. Advice covers food choices and supplementation tailored to you rather than a generic meal plan. Offered as a one-to-one service, it complements the practice's functional-medicine consultations and works well for anyone wanting to improve their diet with informed, individual support.

Nutrition counselling at Funkční medicína Brno is delivered by MVDr. Michaela Vránková, a nutrition and food-hygiene specialist (Veterinary University graduate) and certified adviser in nutrition and supplementation, who also educates a wider audience through her 'Jezte svobodně' (Eat Freely) project. The service provides personalised, one-to-one dietary guidance grounded in the practice's functional-medicine philosophy — that what and how you eat is one of the most powerful levers on both physical and mental wellbeing. The initial consultation lasts 90 minutes. It begins with a thorough look at your current diet, eating patterns, lifestyle, health goals and any specific issues such as digestive complaints, energy dips, weight concerns or the demands of a particular health condition. From this the adviser builds individual recommendations — practical food choices, eating patterns and, where appropriate, targeted supplementation — designed to fit your real life rather than a one-size-fits-all meal plan. The emphasis is on understanding why a change matters and how to make it sustainable, so that improvements last beyond the consultation room. Follow-up appointments run for 60 minutes and are where the plan is refined over time: reviewing what has worked, adjusting for obstacles, responding to changes in symptoms or circumstances, and gradually building lasting habits. This iterative pattern mirrors the practice's broader approach, in which steady, supported change outperforms any single intervention. Nutrition counselling suits people who want to improve general health and energy, those navigating digestive or food-tolerance issues, anyone confused by conflicting nutrition information, and patients already working with the practice's functional-medicine doctors who want dedicated dietary support alongside their plan. It pairs naturally with the comprehensive functional-medicine consultation, providing the day-to-day dietary detail that supports a wider treatment plan. Sessions are conducted one-to-one, are self-pay and are not covered by Czech public health insurance. Bringing a few days of a food diary to the first appointment makes the initial assessment more accurate and the recommendations more specific.
