Meet Your Dietitian

Expert Dietitian & Phytotherapy Specialist

I founded HANZI Nutrition in 2018 as Antalya's first phytotherapy-trained dietitian. With two master's degrees and over 7 years of clinical practice, I help clients across Europe reclaim their health through evidence-based nutrition, complemented by phytotherapy (herbal support).

About Tugba

About Tugba

I graduated from Yeditepe University with a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics in 2017 with honors, followed by an MSc in Nutrition & Dietetics and an MSc in Phytotherapy — all from Yeditepe University. In 2018, I founded HANZI Nutrition and Dietetic Center in Antalya as the first phytotherapy-trained dietitian in the city.

Over 7 years and 500+ clients across 12+ countries, I've built a practice grounded in evidence-based nutrition, complemented by phytotherapy. I specialize in medical nutrition therapy for chronic conditions — including diabetes, PCOS, hypertension, obesity, and autoimmune disease — as well as sports nutrition, pregnancy nutrition, and sustainable weight management, always in coordination with your medical team.

I collaborate closely with psychologists, doctors, and physiotherapists to ensure each client receives holistic, coordinated care. Every plan I create is informed by your blood values and adapted continuously as your health changes.

My Approach

My Approach

I believe nutrition is most powerful when it's personal. Every plan I build starts with your blood work, your lifestyle, and your goals — not a template. I draw on evidence-based dietary science and phytotherapy to create protocols that work holistically: Mediterranean, elimination, intermittent fasting, or ketogenic, depending on what your body needs. I don't believe in restriction for its own sake. I believe in understanding your body well enough to nourish it precisely.
