The Medietitian was founded by Eleni Constantinou. Her Mediterranean origins inspired her to start ‘’MedDietitian’’, with a mission to promote this long tested and proven diet that endorses health and wellbeing.
Eleni was born in Cyprus, where she was raised with a deep connection to the sea. Exposed to the secrets of the Mediterranean lifestyle early on, Eleni experienced the aromas of fresh lemon, orange, and olive trees, which come in abundance in the region. These scents complement a diet rich in fresh fish, whole grains, legumes, and colorful vegetables, known for their anti-inflammatory properties and healing benefits.
Medietitian’s approach to health is comprehensive, encompassing the diet factor, the importance of physical activity by taking into account the psychological presentation of the client as well as other lifestyle factors to facilitate a holistic change. We aim to provide individualized support to help clients improve their physical and mental well-being. We are using several techniques to manifest change such as behavioural change techniques and motivational interviewing.
Eleni is a senior NHS community dietitian, she currently works for NELFT and she is experienced in all areas of dietetics, with a special interest in gastrointestinal disorders such as IBS and IBD and devises complex nutritional plans for patients who require artificial nutrition support and enteral nutrition. She is crafting tailored plans for adults with various conditions such as metabolic disorders, obesity, type 2 diabetes, malnutrition, and cancer and she is FODMAP trained.
Eleni acquired 8 years of extensive NHS experience from renowned UK hospitals, including Papworth Hospital in Cambridge, Bedford hospital, Lister hospital and Basildon hospital. She worked in community-based care for the greatest part of her career where she is able to cultivate long-term relationships with clients and witness their ongoing progress in their home settings, pursuing her passion -to share the Mediterranean way of life with a global audience and supports people from all walks of life.
