Care boundaries

A practical consultation, not a generic diet sheet

The consultation starts with your personal context, health history, current treatment, and food routine. The advice is designed to support safer everyday choices, not to replace diagnosis or prescribing care.

Important boundaries

This service does not replace urgent medical care. Dr. Hakeem provides dietetic nutrition support within applicable professional scope. Diagnosis, prescribing, medication changes, and urgent symptoms should be handled by your GP, specialist, prescribing clinician, NHS 111, or emergency services as appropriate.

FAQ

Common questions

Can diet help cholesterol?

Diet can support cholesterol management for many people, especially when changes focus on saturated fat quality, fibre, weight goals where relevant, and overall meal pattern.

Can this help if I also have diabetes?

Yes. Heart health, blood sugar, and weight goals often overlap, so the plan can account for all relevant medical priorities.

Do I need recent test results?

Recent cholesterol, blood pressure, HbA1c, kidney function, and medication information can help personalise the consultation.
