Edagül Kopuz, Dietitian

Edagül Kopuz is a dietitian in the Nutrition & Diet unit at Acibadem Atasehir Hospital in İstanbul. She has more than six years of experience in medicine and works with patients who need structured nutritional guidance as part of their overall care. Her work centers on personalized nutrition planning, evidence-based nutrition plans and clinical dietetic support, with an emphasis on dietary strategies that patients can realistically maintain over time.

She completed her education at Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University in 2020 and continued her studies at Üsküdar University, completing them in 2024. Her professional experience includes MEDICANA HOSPITAL from 2021 to 2022. Since 2024 she has been with Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where she provides nutrition and diet consultations within the hospital’s care system.

Clinical focus

The core of Edagül Kopuz’s practice is personalized nutrition planning. Rather than applying a standard template, she develops plans that take into account the individual patient’s health status, medical history and care plan. These evidence-based nutrition plans are built on current dietetic knowledge and are adjusted as the patient’s needs and clinical situation change. Where a patient is being treated for a medical condition, she provides clinical dietetic support so that dietary recommendations are aligned with the treatment the patient is receiving from other members of the care team.

A further area of her work is dietary strategy development, in which she helps patients translate general nutritional goals into concrete, practical steps for daily life. This is closely linked to sustainable dietary habit counseling: the aim is not a short-term change but habits that can be maintained after the consultation period ends. Recommendations are discussed with the patient in line with their individual health needs, and the plan is reviewed over time. Nutritional guidance is offered as one component of care, and its effect varies from person to person depending on the underlying condition and the patient’s circumstances.

How Edagül Kopuz works with international patients

Edagül Kopuz consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports, including laboratory and pathology results, imaging reports, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges the appointment and hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing results and previous treatments, a clinical assessment and a discussion of the dietary options that may be appropriate. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their nutritional needs before traveling or as part of follow-up. Any recommendations made remotely are based on the information the patient is able to share and may be refined after an in-person assessment.
