Η Κλινική Παχυσαρκίας του Νικολάου Θεοδωράκη, MD, PhD(c), πιστοποιημένου ειδικού (SCOPE) στην παχυσαρκία και επιστημονικά υπεύθυνου της Κλινικής Παχυσαρκίας του doctoranytime, δημιουργήθηκε με στόχο την επιστημονική, εξατομικευμένη και ρεαλιστική αντιμετώπιση της παχυσαρκίας και του αυξημένου σωματικού βάρους. Σε μια εποχή γεμάτη αντικρουόμενες πληροφορίες, εξαντλητικές δίαιτες και μη επιστημονικές «γρήγορες λύσεις», η ομάδα μας εστιάζει σε σύγχρονες, επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένες διατροφικές και φαρμακευτικές παρεμβάσεις με στόχο βιώσιμα και μακροχρόνια αποτελέσματα.

Η διατροφική προσέγγιση της κλινικής βασίζεται στις αρχές της διατροφής ακριβείας (precision nutrition), με εξατομίκευση σύμφωνα με τις ανάγκες, τις συνήθειες, τον τρόπο ζωής και τους στόχους κάθε ατόμου. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίνεται:

• στον αποτελεσματικό έλεγχο της όρεξης και του κορεσμού

• στη σωστή κατανομή πρωτεΐνης για διατήρηση ή αύξηση μυϊκής μάζας

• στη βελτίωση της σύστασης σώματος και του μεταβολισμού

• στη δημιουργία διατροφικών πλάνων που μπορούν πραγματικά να εφαρμοστούν στην καθημερινότητα

• στη δημιουργία εξατομικευμένων πλάνων συμπληρωμάτων διατροφής

• στη συνολική διαδικασία αλλαγής συμπεριφοράς και βελτίωσης της υγείας και της ευεξίας

Οι διαιτολόγοι – διατροφολόγοι της κλινικής διαθέτουν άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος και εγγραφή στον ΣΔΔΕ και λειτουργούν βάσει συγκεκριμένων επιστημονικών πρωτοκόλλων, με εμπειρία τόσο σε άτομα που ακολουθούν αποκλειστικά διατροφική παρέμβαση όσο και σε ασθενείς που λαμβάνουν παράλληλη ενέσιμη φαρμακευτική αγωγή για την παχυσαρκία.

Ιδιαίτερη σημασία δίνεται στη διατήρηση της μυϊκής μάζας κατά τη διάρκεια της απώλειας βάρους, ειδικά σε περιπτώσεις χρήσης ενέσιμων θεραπειών για την παχυσαρκία, όπου η σωστή πρόσληψη πρωτεΐνης και η κατάλληλη διατροφική καθοδήγηση αποτελούν καθοριστικούς παράγοντες για την υγεία, τη λειτουργικότητα και τη σύσταση σώματος.

Στην κλινική μας, στόχος είναι η εκπαίδευση, η αλλαγή συνηθειών και η δημιουργία ενός βιώσιμου μοντέλου διατροφής που μπορεί να υποστηρίξει μακροχρόνια υγεία, καλύτερη ποιότητα ζωής και αποτελεσματική διαχείριση βάρους.

Η Παναγιώτα Λαμπρινάκου είναι Διαιτολόγος Διατροφολόγος που ολοκλήρωσε τις σπουδές της στο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλίας στην Καρδίτσα (πρώην ΤΕΙ) και εξειδικεύεται στην δημιουργία Διαιτολογίων για όλα τα στάδια της ζωής του ανθρώπου καθώς και για την διαχείριση και βελτίωση παθολογικών καταστάσεων. Στις συνεργασίες της, επιθυμεί να δημιουργεί μια προσωπική σχέση που θα επιτρέπει την άμεση επικοινωνία για την επίλυση κάθε απορίας και προβλήματος. Διασφαλίζει στον καθένα πως δεν θα είναι μόνος στο "δρόμο" για την επίτευξη των διατροφικών του στόχων. Αυτό περιλαμβάνει πρώτον να κατανοήσει τη σχέση του ατόμου με το φαγητό, τις δυσκολίες που τον εμποδίζουν στην υιοθέτηση μιας υγιεινής διατροφής, τις ανάγκες της υγείας του, ώστε να του παρέχει ένα διατροφολόγιο εξατομικευμένο στις ανάγκες του και στις διατροφικές του προτιμήσεις. Σκοπός δεν είναι μια προσωρινή αλλαγή, αλλά η υιοθέτηση ενός πιο υγιεινού τρόπου ζωής για τη βελτίωση του σώματος και της υγείας. Κάθε συνεργασία περιλαμβάνει προσωπικά διαιτολόγια, εκπαίδευση σε νέο τρόπο υγιεινής διατροφής στις ανάγκες της καθημερινότητας, παρακολούθηση προόδου με συχνή επικοινωνία για τυχόν δυσκολίες και προβλήματα καθώς και τρόπους για υγιεινή και νόστιμη μαγειρική. Έχει μεγάλη αγάπη στη δουλειά της καθώς βλέπει πόσο μπορεί να βελτιωθεί η ποιότητα ζωής κάποιου αν αλλάξει τη διατροφή του, τόσο σε επίπεδο κοινωνικής ζωής αλλά κυρίως ως προς την ευεξία και την υγεία του. Μέσω αξιολογήσεων, ερωτηματολογίων θα εντοπιστούν οι ανάγκες και οι τομείς βελτίωσης που πρέπει να γίνουν στη διατροφή του κάθε ατόμου. Στόχος είναι να βρεθούν τα εμπόδια, όπως το στρες, οι περιορισμοί της καθημερινότητας ώστε να δημιουργηθεί ένα εξατομικευμένο πλάνο Διατροφής και συμβουλών που θα γίνει ο "οδικός χάρτης" προς τον στόχο του. Έχει εξειδίκευση στην Ψυχολογία Διατροφής μέσω εκπαίδευσης και προσωπικής ενασχόλησης επειδή το θεωρεί πρωτεύον στην υιοθέτηση και τήρηση ενός νέου πρότυπου υγιεινών συνηθειών και στην παράλληλη διακοπή ανθυγιεινών προτύπων διατροφής. Αν ζητηθεί υπάρχουν έξτρα συνεδρίες και εργαλεία ώστε να επιτευχθεί και θεραπευτικό κομμάτι στην σχέση του ατόμου με το φαγητό και την ψυχολογία. Η προσωπική φροντίδα του κάθε ατόμου είναι ουσιώδης για μια καλή συνεργασία ώστε να υπάρχει εκπαίδευση και ενδυνάμωση ώστε να γίνουν βιώσιμες αλλαγές.
