Nutritional advice and therapy
The nutritional advice team at the Zuger Kantonsspital supports inpatients and outpatients in all matters relating to nutrition. Thanks to close interdisciplinary collaboration with doctors, the nursing team and other medical specialists, individual nutritional advice or therapy can be provided. The different clinical pictures and individual needs are taken into account.
Diets can sometimes become unbalanced. This may be caused by illness, surgery or lifestyle changes. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all diet. That is why our nutrition experts attach great importance to individual advice and support.
In modern nutritional therapy and/or nutritional advice, we also give particular consideration to the social circumstances of our outpatients and inpatients, to allow them to enjoy the best possible quality of life.
We offer athletes sports-specific nutritional consultations. During these consultations, we address topics such as optimal nutrition before and during competition, the optimisation of performance or the ideal recovery.
