Our clinical nutrition services support patients from outpatient care to intensive care, ensuring optimal nourishment throughout recovery.

At the heart of our clinical nutrition and dietetics department is a comprehensive, patient-centric model that supports nutritional needs across all levels of care from outpatient consults to critical care.

Inpatient Nutrition Support

Hospitalised patients often experience dietary challenges due to illness, medication, or surgery. Our clinical dieticians assess each patient's condition and design appropriate meal plans to aid recovery, enhance immunity, and prevent nutritional deficiencies. Specialised diets are created for cardiac, renal, diabetic, and oncology patients under close monitoring.

Tube Feeding & Parenteral Nutrition

When patients cannot consume food orally, we provide expert support for enteral (tube feeding) and parenteral (IV) nutrition. Our nutrition specialists ensure safe, balanced nutrient delivery to meet caloric and metabolic requirements in ICU or post-operative settings. Plans are regularly adjusted based on lab markers, weight trends, and clinical progress.

Critical Care Nutrition

In the ICU, nutrition becomes a life-sustaining therapy. Our diet and nutrition experts work closely with intensivists to manage nutrition for ventilated or unconscious patients. We focus on preventing muscle wasting, maintaining electrolyte balance, and minimising infection risk through sterile nutrition administration protocols.

Surgical Recovery Nutrition

Post-surgical healing is accelerated by well-balanced, protein-rich, and anti-inflammatory diets. Our nutrition clinic offers tailored support to promote wound healing, maintain strength, and enhance energy post-operatively. Whether it's orthopaedic, gastrointestinal, or bariatric surgery, nutrition plays a central role in outcomes.

We conduct detailed nutritional assessments that evaluate:

• BMI, body composition, and anthropometry  (measurement of body weight, height, and muscle mass)
• Laboratory investigations for nutrient deficiencies
• Diet recall and eating behaviour analysis
• Medical history and lifestyle factors

This data forms the foundation for your personalised plan with a nutrition specialist or clinical dietitian.

Our clinical dieticians support patients managing conditions such as:

• Diabetes
• Hypertension
• Kidney disease
• PCOS and thyroid disorders
• Cardiovascular disease

Through targeted nutrition therapy, we help stabilise blood sugar, manage cholesterol, and reduce disease progression.

Deficiencies in iron, vitamin D, B12, calcium, and other micronutrients are increasingly common and can have long-term effects on immunity, mood, and metabolism. Our diet and nutrition experts diagnose and correct these through tailored dietary changes and supplementation guidance. Supplements are recommended only when clinically necessary and always administered under medical supervision to avoid overuse or interactions with medications.

Our nutrition clinic offers a 360-degree evaluation for each patient, looking beyond calorie intake to include digestion, gut health, allergies, lifestyle, and stress factors. This holistic view helps us design diets that are both medically sound and personally sustainable.

Each individual’s diet is unique based on medical needs, cultural preferences, and goals. Our meal plans are practical, easy to follow, and include regular feedback and adjustments. Whether you’re seeing a dietician for weight loss or for disease management, plans are reviewed every few weeks for optimal progress.

Beyond diet charts, our counselling sessions focus on educating patients and caregivers. We cover food labels, portion control, cooking methods, and dining out strategies. Our nutrition specialists empower patients to take control of their health through informed food choices.

Special Diets Management

We offer expert support in managing:

• Gluten-free and lactose-free diets
• Ketogenic and low-FODMAP diets
• Bariatric surgery nutrition
• Plant-based and vegan diets
• Religious or culturally specific dietary needs

Each plan is reviewed and monitored to ensure it meets nutritional adequacy and patient satisfaction. 

At Apollo Hospitals, Noida, we offer a full spectrum of clinical and lifestyle-focused procedures to support nutritional health, disease management, and preventive care. Each service is delivered by experienced clinical dieticians and nutrition specialists with advanced training in clinical nutrition and dietetics.

Dietary Assessment & Counselling

The first step in any nutrition intervention is a thorough dietary assessment. We review eating habits, medical history, lifestyle, weight trends, and lab parameters. Based on this, our diet and nutrition experts provide tailored counselling that is practical, sustainable, and aligned with your goals.

Nutritional Deficiency Screening

Many individuals suffer from undiagnosed deficiencies in key nutrients like iron, B12, calcium, and vitamin D. Through detailed screening, we identify deficiencies and provide guidance for dietary correction and supplementation. Our clinical dieticians also monitor recovery and adjust plans accordingly.

Enteral Nutrition Therapy (Tube Feeding)

For patients who cannot consume food orally, our enteral nutrition (tube feeding directly into the stomach or intestine) therapy services ensure safe and balanced feeding through nasogastric, PEG, or jejunal tubes. This is particularly critical in ICU, post-surgical, or neurologically compromised patients. Our team follows strict safety and infection control protocols while managing such nutrition plans.

Weight Management Programmes

Apollo’s structured weight management nutritionist-led programmes combine dietary modification, behaviour therapy, and physical activity to help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Whether for obesity or underweight conditions, plans are designed for long-term results with minimal risk of rebound.

Therapeutic Diet Planning (Diabetes, Renal, Cardiac)

We offer specialised diet plans for chronic medical conditions such as:

• Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes
• Chronic Kidney Disease
• Hypertension and Heart Disease

Each plan is evidence-based and created in consultation with your treating physician to ensure safety, medication synergy, and clinical benefits.

Sports Nutrition Counselling

Athletes and active individuals receive expert counselling from dieticians for weight loss, energy balance, and performance nutrition. We assess training schedules, recovery demands, and macro/micronutrient needs to create fuelling strategies that optimise endurance, strength, and recovery.

Medical nutrition therapy is a cornerstone of chronic disease management. At Apollo Hospitals, Noida, our nutrition specialists create patient-specific therapeutic diets based on condition, lifestyle, preferences, and treatment response.

Renal & Diabetic Diets

Patients with kidney disease require precise control over fluid, potassium, phosphorus, and protein intake. Similarly, those with diabetes benefit from carbohydrate-controlled diets that maintain blood sugar balance without sacrificing taste. Our clinical dieticians adjust these plans weekly to reflect lab results and treatment stages.

Cardiac Diet Plans

Heart-healthy eating plans are vital in managing hypertension, cholesterol, and post-cardiac events. We guide patients through low-sodium, low-saturated fat diets that are high in fibre, antioxidants, and healthy fats. These are integrated into cardiac rehabilitation programmes in partnership with your cardiologist.

Cancer Nutrition Support

Cancer treatments often lead to appetite loss, nausea, weight loss, and taste changes. Our nutrition clinic provides dietary support during chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery to maintain strength, prevent muscle loss, and support immunity. Enteral or parenteral nutrition is used when oral intake isn’t possible.

Post-Surgical Nutrition

After surgery, the body requires higher calories and protein to heal. We provide tailored nutritional strategies to enhance recovery, minimise complications, and restore strength. Whether you're recovering from orthopaedic, gastrointestinal, cardiac, or oncological surgery, our diet and nutrition experts ensure your nutritional needs are met at every stage.

Nutrition is not just for recovery it’s essential for maintaining long-term health. Our preventive care services empower individuals to lead healthier lives through informed dietary choices, whether to prevent illness, boost immunity, or enhance daily energy.

Weight Management Programmes

Our structured weight management solutions cater to both weight loss and gain goals. Plans are designed by a weight management nutritionist with regular follow-ups, progress tracking, and education on long-term healthy habits. Support is also extended to patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Body Composition Analysers

We use advanced body composition analysers to measure fat percentage, muscle mass, water content, and visceral fat. This allows our dieticians and nutrition specialists to personalise meal plans beyond just weight or BMI, making interventions more targeted and effective.

Digital Food Tracking Tools

Our patients are encouraged to use app-based or web-enabled tools for logging meals, monitoring nutrient intake, and tracking progress. These platforms sync with our internal systems, allowing the clinical dietician to review food logs and suggest timely modifications.

Calorimetry & Nutrient Analysis

Indirect calorimetry is used in critical care and metabolic cases to determine precise energy expenditure. Nutrient analysis software enables us to assess macro and micronutrient breakdowns in real-time. This is particularly useful in intensive care, surgical recovery, and cancer nutrition management.
