Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What happens in the consultation?

You’ll meet our dietitian virtually, they’ll review your assessment, ask follow-up questions (medical history, food habits, lifestyle), explore your goals, and agree on the next steps for your nutrition guide.

What is included in the nutrition guide?

A customised document with recommended calorie/macro targets (if relevant), suggested meals and snacks, portion sizes, food substitution ideas, habit-change strategies, and follow-up suggestions. It’s tailored based on your consultation

Is this service suitable if I have a medical condition (e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.)?

Yes, our dietitians have experience working with many health conditions. However, if you require medical treatment or medication changes, you can view our other offered services, or attend a GP Consultation [insert page link] with one of our partner doctors. This service complements medical care.

Am I being prescribed any medication?

No, this service is strictly for nutrition guidance and customised nutrition guides. If you are seeking weight loss medication, please view our weight loss service page for more information

How long until I receive the guide?

The guide is sent within 1-2 business days of your consultation, once the dietitian has finalised your recommendations based on your goals and assessment.

What are the different communication methods used for a GP Consultation?

Patients can choose to have their GP consultation session via a phone call or a video call using Google Meet at a time of their choice.

How long does a GP Consultation last?

Consultations are 15 minutes long. If you have more than one issue to discuss, you may need to make another order and booking to discuss that matter at another time. 

What if I’m not happy with my guide?

We strive for client satisfaction. If you have questions or need clarification after receiving your guide, you are welcome to email us at hello@zapmed.co.za and we can assist with any additional queries or further assistance.

Can I claim this via medical aid?

It depends on your scheme. Some medical aids allow allied-health claims. You’ll receive an invoice with the dietitian’s practice number, which you can use to submit a claim directly. Please check your benefits with your medical aid provider if you are unsure. The service cost itself is private and you can use the invoice received via email to attempt a claim directly from your medical aid provider.

How do I book?

Get started here, complete your profile and payment (R 549), fill out the assessment, and schedule your consultation with our registered Dietitian.

Do I need any special equipment or apps?

No, you’ll only need a device (phone/tablet/computer) with internet access and a camera/microphone for the consultation. Your guide is delivered electronically.
