Today dietitian Nikiforov has a private practice, in which she holds consultations and develops individual nutrition programs taking into account blood test results and medical history. When bariatric treatment is indicated, working with a competent dietitian is of great importance to the patient and helps them prepare consciously for changes after surgery, and also to draw up a correct and effective personal, balanced postoperative nutrition program.
