Specialized care for each type of patient

Our clinical nutrition services in Tijuana don't treat all bodies the same, and not all diagnoses require the same approach. This is how we address each case at Alfa Nutrición.

BMI is just a starting point — it doesn't distinguish fat from muscle or real body composition. In consultation, we use InBody bioimpedance for a precise diagnosis.

PATIENT TYPE 1/14

Healthy Patient

A person with no specific clinical condition who seeks a healthier lifestyle. Without proper nutritional guidance, their health may be at risk. The goal is prevention and long-term well-being.

PATIENT TYPE 2/14

Diabetic Patient

A person with a medical diagnosis of this chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. Nutritional therapy is essential for both prevention and ongoing glycemic control.

PATIENT TYPE 3/14

Hypertension & Cardiac Patient

Hypertension occurs when blood pressure exceeds 110/90 mmHg. This multifactorial disease is linked to age, overweight, high-sodium diets, and excess alcohol. Nutrition plays a key role in prevention and management.

PATIENT TYPE 4/14

Geriatric / Elderly Patient

A person of advanced age, with or without dependence for basic daily activities. The goal is to preserve cognitive function, prevent premature aging, and promote healthy, dignified aging.

PATIENT TYPE 5/14

Oncology / Cancer Patient

A person who has or has had a tumor. Nutritional care is multidisciplinary and specific — restoring nutritional deficiencies, maintaining body weight, protecting the immune system, and improving quality of life.

PATIENT TYPE 6/14

Sports / Athletic Patient

Proper nutrition is fundamental for improving performance, reaching goals, and providing essential nutrients, adequate hydration, and habits that support the entire athletic journey.

PATIENT TYPE 7/14

Obesity & Overweight

Abnormal or excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses a health risk (BMI ≥30 kg/m²). A chronic, multifactorial, and relapsing disease — not a lack of willpower. We address it through body composition, hormonal balance, and individualized nutrition.

PATIENT TYPE 8/14

Gynecological-Obstetric Patient

Nutrition during pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding is fundamental for the mother's health and baby's development. A personalized plan covers each stage, helps prevent gestational diabetes or hypertension, and promotes optimal recovery.

PATIENT TYPE 9/14

Insulin Resistance Patient

Insulin resistance is a metabolic condition where cells reduce their response to insulin, raising blood glucose and increasing risk of type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and cardiovascular disease. Nutritional intervention improves sensitivity and prevents long-term complications.

PATIENT TYPE 10/14

Gastrointestinal Patient

Nutrition is key in managing gastrointestinal conditions. A tailored plan reduces symptoms such as bloating, reflux, gastritis, colitis, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome while optimizing nutrient absorption and digestive recovery.

PATIENT TYPE 11/14

Thyroid Patient

Thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism affect metabolism, body weight, energy, and overall well-being. A personalized nutritional plan complements medical treatment, prevents deficiencies, and improves quality of life.

PATIENT TYPE 12/14

Eating Disorder Patient

Anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other disordered eating patterns are complex conditions affecting physical and emotional health. Nutritional therapy is key to restoring adequate nutritional status and fostering a healthy relationship with food.

PATIENT TYPE 13/14

Pre & Post-Surgery Patient

Nutrition in the pre and post-operative period is essential for preparing the body before surgery and ensuring a faster, safer recovery. It strengthens the immune system, preserves muscle mass, promotes healing, and reduces complication risk.

PATIENT TYPE 14/14

Metabolic Syndrome Patient

Metabolic syndrome combines abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, high glucose, elevated triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol. When these coincide, the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease rises significantly. Early nutritional intervention is key.
