Ingrid Schloss – Clinical Dietitian – Foreshore

Ms Ingrid Schloss – Clinical Dietitian – Foreshore practices at the Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital and Cape Town Medi-Clinic, bringing over 20 years of specialist nutrition expertise to the Foreshore community clinicaldietitian.co.za. She holds a BSc (Med) (Hons) in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Cape Town and is registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa.

Early in her career, she worked in the United Kingdom’s acute-care settings, honing protocols for critically ill patients. Consequently, she developed a deep understanding of multidisciplinary teamwork and evidence-based interventions. Moreover, since returning to Cape Town, Ingrid has led both inpatient and outpatient services—ranging from intensive-care nutrition to community weight-management programmes. Therefore, every client benefits from her dual focus on scientific rigour and compassionate support.

She believes that sustainable healing requires both clear education and personalised planning. Thus, she involves clients in every step—from dietary history to behaviour-change goals. As a result, patients gain confidence and clarity about the role of nutrition in recovery and long-term wellness.

Services

Ms Schloss delivers a comprehensive suite of evidence-based nutritional interventions, each tailored to specific clinical needs:

• Individual Consultations
  During the initial session, she reviews your complete medical, nutritional, and lifestyle history. Consequently, you leave with a bespoke meal plan, guideline booklet, and shopping list that align with both your health goals and daily routine.

• Personalized Eating Plans
  She designs flexible, realistic meal strategies—whether you’re managing diabetes, renal failure, or obesity. Moreover, she integrates clients’ food preferences and schedules, making healthy eating both achievable and sustainable.

• Critically Ill/ICU Nutrition
  For patients in intensive care, she implements tailored enteral and parenteral feeding protocols. Therefore, these interventions support faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and reduced infection risks.

• Gastrointestinal Disorders & Surgery
  She prescribes low-residue, elemental, and elimination diets to manage conditions such as IBS, IBD, or postoperative gut recovery. Consequently, patients experience symptom relief and improved nutrient absorption.

• Haematological Cancers & Bone Marrow Transplants
  Collaborating with oncology teams, she combats treatment-related malnutrition through high-protein, energy-dense regimens. As a result, patients maintain strength and tolerate aggressive therapies more effectively clinicaldietitian.co.za.

• Heart & Kidney Transplant Support
  She assesses fluid balance, micronutrient status, and immunosuppressant interactions to optimise transplant outcomes. Moreover, she educates both patients and caregivers on post-transplant dietary needs.

• Lifestyle Disorders Management
  Whether you aim to lose weight, gain muscle, or stabilise blood sugar, she employs behavioural-change tools—such as goal-setting and self-monitoring—to foster long-term success.
