Dietitian
Hello my name is Vanessa. I am a specialist Neurological Dietitian.
Having a neurological condition can sometimes lead to swallowing problems, problems with your bowels, changes in appetite, feeling full quickly, having difficulty shopping, preparing or cooking your meals which might affect the type of food you eat, or how often you eat. If this is a problem for you, a dietitian may assess you and can offer advice and support on your diet to help you be as strong, healthy, and independent as possible.
