Hi! I’m Dr. Rida Saeed, your online nutrition doctor
I help people in Dubai and across the UAE, in Pakistan and beyond, as an online nutritionist and dietitian, improve their health through practical, personalised nutrition. My focus is on finding the root cause of your symptoms, rather than handing out one-size-fits-all diet charts.
My Philosophy
Food is one of the most powerful tools we have for feeling better every day. Good nutrition doesn’t have to mean strict rules, expensive products or giving up the foods you love. It means understanding your body and making small, sustainable changes.
“The right plan is the one you can actually live with.”
Every client is different, so every plan is different. We consider your health history, symptoms, daily routine, family meals and cultural food preferences, and build an approach that fits your real life.
How I Work
Consultations are 100% online. After an initial assessment, you receive a personalised nutrition plan and practical guidance, with follow-up sessions to review your progress and adjust the plan as needed. Booking is simple: just message me on WhatsApp.
Areas I Can Help With
My approach focuses on adding nourishing, affordable and delicious foods to your day, rather than only cutting things out. I support clients with:
