About Me

My Professional Journey

Selin İmran Özdemir, MSc, Registered Dietitian

---

Contrary to popular belief, I believe healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated. But I also know this: sometimes, even when you feel like you’re doing everything right, your body doesn’t respond the way you expect. That’s exactly where I come in. Through over 10 years of experience as a lead clinical dietitian at Başkent University Istanbul Hospital, I’ve come to realise one thing very clearly: real change doesn’t happen until you understand not just what you’re eating, but why you’re eating it.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked across a wide range of areas, including diabetes, kidney conditions, organ transplant nutrition, and bariatric surgery. I completed my Master’s degree focusing on eating disorders, which helped me understand that nutrition is not only physical, but also deeply behavioural and emotional. That’s why my work today goes beyond what you eat — I focus on how your body responds, and the underlying reasons behind it.

Using a functional medicine approach, I look at gut health, hormonal balance, and inflammation together. My goal isn’t to give you restrictive meal plans, but to help you build a sustainable system that works for your body. If you feel like you’re doing everything right but still not getting the results you want, and you want to better understand your body, we can work together.
