The difference one consultation makes
Most patients see a doctor for their medication and a separate dietitian for food. Here, you do both in a single visit.
Prescription and meal plan in one visit
As an MD and a Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian, Dr. Ivan writes your clinical orders and your nutrition protocol from the same evidence base, in the same appointment. No second referral. No conflicting advice.
Built around Filipino food
Plans reference adobo, sinangag, patis, and the Filipino table, not Western portion templates. Evidence-based guidance that your ulam and kanin can actually follow.
In-person or teleconsult, nationwide
8 clinics across 9 hospital affiliations, from Taguig to Antipolo. If you are outside Metro Manila, teleconsult brings the same standard of care to your device.

About Dr. Ivan
One of the few Filipino doctors who specialize in Medical Nutrition
Most patients see a doctor for medication and a separate dietitian for food. I do both. As an Internal Medicine physician with a Medical Nutrition fellowship, and a Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian credential, I can write your prescription and your medical nutrition plan in the same consultation, grounded in the same evidence base.
That dual training is the difference between a generic handout and a nutrition plan that actually works alongside your medications and your Filipino diet.
