Liezl van Zyl Registered Dietician Bloemfontein

Liezl van Zyl – Registered Dietitian, Bloemfontein

About Me

My name is Liezl van Zyl, and I am a Registered Dietitian with a BSc Degree in Dietetics (SA) from the University of the Free State. With years of experience and a passion for healthy living, I assist individuals in achieving their optimal health through evidence-based nutritional advice and lifestyle changes.

After completing my community service year, I began my career in private practice in Johannesburg, while also consulting at two established practices and working as a clinical dietitian in Rosebank, Morningside, and Sandton Medi-clinic Hospitals. In 2011, I had the honour of being selected twice as the personal dietitian to the Prince of Saudi Arabia in the Seychelles. After this enriching experience, I returned to Bloemfontein and started my own private practice, which continues to thrive today.

I am currently practising from my outpatient facility at Donald Murray Avenue, where I am part of the incredible team at SmartCare. Additionally, I work as a locum at Rosepark Hospital.

I am also accredited to perform DNA Diet Tests, offering a personalised approach to weight loss based on genetic insights. Through this, I help individuals make informed dietary choices tailored to their unique genetic composition.
