Pediatric nutrition at Clinique Naturelle with Caroline Vogt (ASCA and RME)
In children, balanced, conscious nutrition plays a fundamental role: it nourishes the growing body, sustains daily energy and contributes to the harmonious development of physical, emotional and cognitive health.
Good nutrition helps boost immunity, promote concentration and sleep, support digestion and prevent imbalances or deficiencies. Nutrition and micronutrition provide simple, natural and personalized solutions to help every child grow up in the best possible conditions.
What's the difference between nutrition and micronutrition?
Nutrition is the daily diet that provides children with the essential nutrients their bodies need to grow, such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Eating well therefore means providing the energy and elements necessary for harmonious development, the immune system, concentration and general well-being.
Micronutrition, on the other hand, focuses on the specific needs for small quantities of certain nutrients essential to health, such as certain vitamins, minerals, trace elements or essential fatty acids. It helps to detect and compensate for any deficiencies, to optimize the body's growth and functioning, and to support children during periods when their needs are particularly high, such as growth or times of fatigue.
In short, nutrition covers the overall diet, while micronutrition supplements and adjusts intakes to support the child in a personalized and optimal way.
Nutrition and micronutrition, allies in child development
Childhood is a time of great change, when nutritional needs are particularly high. Vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids play a major role in the development of bones, the nervous system and the immune system.
Micronutrition goes further than basic nutrition: it identifies and compensates for any imbalances or deficiencies, in order to give the body back the resources it needs. Combined with practical nutritional advice, it helps children to :
- strengthen natural defenses and better resist frequent infections,
- support concentration and cognitive skills at school,
- regulate energy and mood,
- improve digestive comfort,
- prevent deficiencies linked to dietary selections or certain growth periods.
A gentle, personalized approach adapted to every age group
Each child is unique: his or her life rhythm, tastes, needs and even frailties are taken into account when we accompany them. Our approach is to offer simple, practical advice adapted to the child's age and family habits, so that nutrition becomes a natural and lasting support.
Recommendations may include dietary adjustments, the introduction of new benchmarks or, if necessary, micronutritional supplements (vitamins, minerals, probiotics, essential fatty acids...) always chosen with precision and adapted to children.
How does a consultation work?
In the case of consultations where the child is not yet involved in his or her own feeding, the session is held without the child.
The aim of the initial consultation is to understand the child's eating habits, lifestyle, development and any difficulties he or she may be experiencing. A detailed assessment is carried out to identify specific nutritional needs and identify any deficiencies.
Then, personalized recommendations are offered: dietary adjustments, practical advice for everyday life, and if necessary, micronutritional supplements adapted to the child's age and weight. Each recommendation is clearly explained, so that parents can easily guide their child towards a balanced diet that is beneficial to their health and well-being.
Subsequent consultations allow us to monitor progress, adjust recommendations and answer parents' questions, for a complete, tailor-made support package.
