About Me - Expert Dietitian Ozge Uçucu

As an individual who has never had any weight problems for as long as I can remember and cares about health, I set my heart on this profession. Despite my family's incredible insistence on becoming a doctor, I have always been talked about when it comes to completing my Nutrition and Dietetics education and specializing in this field, when it comes to becoming a "stubborn, determined, doing what he puts his mind to" individual.

I completed the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at Istanbul Bilgi University Faculty of Health Sciences as a major, and in the same year, I completed the Gastronomy branch as a minor. Immediately after, I completed my foreign language education abroad and then started my master's process. Being able to speak Arabic, as an advantage of growing up in a city like Hatay where thousands of civilizations and cultures live together, added an extra language to me besides English.

During my university education, I completed my internships in different clinics, institutions and centers, especially in Nişantaşı American Hospital, Capa Medical Faculty, in endocrinology, internal medicine, adult and pediatric outpatient clinics, and voluntarily in hospitals and sports centers. On the one hand, I supported the conduct of studies on sports nutrition from abroad, with the reference of a doctor I highly respected, on the other hand, I completed my training on phytotherapy, metabolism and intestinal health. During this time, my interest in sports nutrition and sports led me to follow domestic and international research on sports and sports nutrition, to gain experience by communicating with athletes, and to benefit from the experiences of some of my teachers working with professional athletes abroad. In my work experience that started in Etiler, my process started with weight gain, weight loss, nutrition in diseases, including vegan individuals, by supporting the preparation of personalized meal packages, working with individuals interested in endurance and strength sports, and then with other salons in Bahçeşehir and Etiler. continued with contracted consultancy support. However, as a specialist who cares very much about diet and sports psychology, I think that it would be more appropriate to receive training on eating behavior and eating disorder of people and to work with a psychologist who is an expert on eating behavior disorder in the clinic, both in terms of my own psychodiet management process and a multidisciplinary approach. I followed the path of evaluating sports and psychology with a holistic approach. Today, while working with individuals of all ages in my own clinic, face-to-face or online, we support this process in the healthiest way with my psychologist friend, who is an expert in his field.

“The success of my clients is my motivation! I continue to serve my clients in my own clinic in order to make the process that I set out with the vision of being goal-oriented and sustainable, instead of focusing only on weight, weight and calories, a fit form, a sustainable nutrition plan, and psychologically and physiologically happy and healthy bodies. .
