A LITTLE BIT ABOUT VAN.....
VAN PATEL
THE DIETOLOGIST
Meet Van Patel – The UK’s Leading Private Weight Loss Expert and Founder of The Dietologist
Van Patel is the UK’s leading private weight loss expert and the heart behind The Dietologist, a specialist service devoted to supporting women through life-changing weight loss journeys—particularly those having weight loss surgery or using GLP-1 medications.
With warmth, wisdom, and over 33 years of experience across the NHS and private sector, Van offers far more than just nutrition advice. She creates a deeply personal and empowering space where women can finally heal their relationship with food, their body, and themselves.
Van understands how isolating the weight loss journey can feel—especially when old habits resurface or progress slows. That’s why she’s developed her signature step-by-step toolkits (coming soon) and soulful guidance to gently walk women through the emotional and physical challenges of sustainable weight loss.
Her mission is simple yet powerful: to help women feel strong, seen, and supported as they transform not just their weight, but their whole sense of health, confidence, and self-worth.
When she’s not changing lives, Van is mum to two mini adults and a cheeky fur baby named Ollie. She now calls the West Midlands home.
Van studied a 4 year Nutrition and Biology degree at the London Metropolitan University in 1988. She trained and worked as a Registered Dietitian at the London Hospitals until she settled in the West Midlands in 2006. She worked at the Queen Elizabeth and Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham where she was trained in Bariatrics by the famous surgeon, Mr Paul Super. He was the first surgeon to introduce gastric bands to the West Midlands. Van continues to support Mr Super's patients as well as working with leading Bariatric Surgeons both nationally and internationally.
