About Liezl van Zyl

Liezl van Zyl earned her BSc Dietetics Degree at the University of the Free State. After completing her community service, she moved to Johannesburg and worked as a consultant dietitian in two established private practices. She also gained clinical experience at Rosebank, Morningside, and Sandton Medi-Clinic Hospitals. In 2011, she was selected twice as the personal dietitian for the Prince of Saudi Arabia in the Seychelles. After returning to Bloemfontein, she founded her own private practice.

Personalized Nutrition and Genetic Testing

Liezl completed a course in Nutrition and Genetics through DNAlysis. She is accredited to perform DNA Diet Tests, offering personalized weight loss guidance based on genetics. These tests analyze genes that affect metabolism and fat loss. The results provide individualized dietary recommendations, an eating plan for optimal weight, and exercise advice according to genetic composition.

Passion for Healthy Living

Liezl has a strong passion for healthy living. She enjoys helping people understand how small changes can lead to big health improvements. She focuses on lifestyle diseases, including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, diabetes, digestive issues, allergies, and intolerances. Nutrition in sports is also one of her key interests.
