Yağmur Kaya, Dietitian

Yağmur Kaya is a dietitian in the Nutrition & Diet unit at Acibadem Altunizade Hospital in İstanbul. She graduated from Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University Faculty of Health Sciences in 2021 and, in 2024, completed a program at Okan University Graduate Education Institute. She has worked with Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2023 and has more than five years of experience in nutrition and dietetics.

Alongside her university education, she has completed a series of training programs relevant to her clinical work. In 2023 these included SOS Nutrition Therapy Training, Training on Gluten-Related Diseases and Current Nutritional Approaches, and Scientific Phytotherapy Training for Dietitians. In 2024 she completed Dietary Supplements Training for Health Professionals, and in 2025 she completed Longevity Dietitian Training. This training informs the way she plans dietary programs for people with specific medical conditions as well as for those who wish to support their general health over time.

Clinical focus

Yağmur Kaya’s areas of expertise cover a wide range of life stages and health situations. She works with athletes and physically active individuals on sports nutrition, and with adults interested in longevity nutrition. She provides dietary guidance for iron deficiency, for coeliac disease, and for gout, where nutrition forms part of the overall management of the condition. Her practice also includes pregnancy nutrition, nutrition for menstrual health, and nutrition and diet during menopause.

Other areas of her work include weight management for children and adolescents, carbohydrate counting, and nutrition programs for people with eating disorders, which are generally delivered alongside the care provided by other clinicians. She also prepares nutritional plans for bed-dependent patients, taking into account their medical situation and the practical aspects of feeding. In each case the aim is a dietary plan that reflects the individual’s diagnosis, current results, preferences and daily routine, and that can be reviewed and adjusted as circumstances change.

How Yağmur Kaya works with international patients

Yağmur Kaya 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, such as laboratory results, imaging reports, discharge summaries and records of previous treatment, arranges appointments and organizes the 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 available dietary options. Video consultation is available for international patients and may be used for an initial discussion or for follow-up of a nutrition plan.
