Food & Nutrition Specialists ✓ ACRA Verified

Specific session rates for Food & Nutrition Specialists were not published at the time of listing. As a general reference, nutrition consultations in Singapore typically run S$80–200 per session for an initial assessment and S$60–150 for follow-up appointments. Some practitioners offer bundled packages of four to eight sessions at a reduced per-session rate, which suits clients working towards longer-term goals such as weight management or managing a chronic condition. Confirm whether a separate first-consultation fee applies, whether materials or meal plans are included, and what the cancellation or no-show policy is before booking. Ask if the sessions are claimable under any Integrated Shield Plan or corporate wellness benefit, as this varies by insurer and practitioner registration status.

Most nutrition and lifestyle consultancies do not require a formal GP referral for a general wellness consultation. However, if you are managing a diagnosed condition — such as Type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or post-bariatric recovery — a referral letter and recent blood work or medical records will help the practitioner tailor advice more precisely and may be necessary if you intend to claim through insurance or a subsidised healthcare pathway. At the first visit, expect to complete an intake form covering medical history, current medications, dietary habits, activity levels, and specific goals. Some practitioners conduct a brief body composition assessment or dietary recall during this session. If you have a complex medical history, it is worth calling ahead to confirm whether the practitioner has experience with your condition before committing to an appointment.

In Singapore, the title 'dietitian' is not yet a legally protected profession under a statutory licensing board in the same way that physiotherapy or TCM is. However, registered dietitians who trained at accredited institutions typically hold membership with the Singapore Nutrition and Dietetics Association (SNDA), which maintains a voluntary professional register. Nutritionists without a clinical dietetics qualification operate under no equivalent regulatory framework, so the distinction matters when seeking advice for medically complex conditions. Before booking, ask for the practitioner's academic qualifications, professional body membership, and any specialist certifications relevant to your concern. If clinical dietary management of a medical condition is involved, a referral to an Allied Health Professional registered with the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC) — which covers dietitians when the profession is gazetted — may offer stronger regulatory protection. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
