Beatrise Upeniece

Nutritionist

I believe that an orderly, balanced and full-value menu plays an important role in the prevention of various diseases and maintaining a healthy lifestyle in general, but it is easy for a person to get confused in today's mass of information.

I have learned the latest and most current information in the field of nutrition, so I want to help people with various eating disorders to improve their relationship with food. I am also able to help people who suffer from various chronic diseases (cardiovascular diseases, gout, diabetes, obesity, etc.), as well as those who simply want to improve their diet, reduce or increase weight. When creating the personalized menu and giving recommendations, it is important for me that the plan developed for the specific person is realistically feasible. A healthy diet should not be burdensome, but should organically fit into a person's daily life, making it more sustainable and helping to achieve the desired results.

I am currently studying cosmetology, so I also specialize in maintaining healthy skin not only from the outside, but also from the inside as well. I give recommendations in cases of various skin diseases and imperfections.

As an athlete who has participated in several Latvian and European competitions, I am interested in the nutrition of professional and amateur athletes, I am also interested in vegetarianism, the beneficial effect of products containing probiotics on the body and the creation of seasonal, quick and easy-to-prepare menus.
