| DIET: A way of life |
 According to the latest techniques in health management, nutrition is best addressed through a collaboration between the nutrition specialist and you.
Through a detailed interview, we document your feelings about nutrition, diet and health.
Through counseling, we inform you about the latest scientific findings, based on world-wide research.
Together, we develop a nutrition program that matches your lifestyle. We then coach you through the implementation steps until the common objective has been reached.
Our approach is the result of education in Nutrition and Psychology, in the best schools in the US and a ten-year practice worldwide.

 Despina's interest in the medical field and patient care started early on in her life, leading her to make her first steps as a teenage volunteer at Hadassah Medical Centre.
A Clinical Dietitian today, she earned her degrees in Nutrition and Dietetics as well as Psychology from Arizona State University. Later she acquired her clinical training in the main hospitals in Tucson Arizona, world renown companies like Morrison, and top names in the field like authors of ADA published books.
Her experience was further advanced in diverse conditions like the diabetic Pima Indians, health centres, hospitals, outpatient clinics, and even restaurants. She has practiced as a dietitian, health advocate, nutrition consultant, food service manager and director of nutrition at the Athens Medical Group in Athens, Greece.
Despina has also participated in research, publications, and Knowledge transfer through the media. Her name is found in respected medical journals as well as institutional websites.
Having been educated and having worked in various countries world wide, this multilingual dietitian has gained valuable experience in cultural and religious differences as well as intercultural relations, all necessary in serving today's diverse communities.
Her continuous participation in national and international conferences has made her an international speaker in demand. A recent invitation has awarded her the title of “most honourable speaker” at the Suzanne Mubarak Centre in Alexandria, Egypt.
Despina Varakla is a member of several associations worldwide; in January of 2005 she was appointed Honorary Secretary of the Diabetes Education Study Group (DESG) of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD).
Despina's years of experience have gained her skills in management and leadership. Her real pathos, however, lies in Patient Education and Coaching, with a main focus on chronic diseases, especially diabetes.
