Individually guided
Personal care, tailored to your daily rhythm, needs and cultural background.
Positioning
Why an integrative approach?
Over the course of my work, I realized that nutrition therapy on its own is often not enough.
We eat several times a day – yet rarely think consciously about the role nutrition plays in our health. That is why the Meydanci System starts earlier and supports you for longer.
| Often classic | Integrative system |
|---|---|
| Focus on what is eaten | What, why and how we eat – including thoughts, feelings and habits |
| The diet plan comes first | Awareness, behavior and body are analyzed first – then targeted intervention |
| Success is measured in kilos | Success shows in body composition: fat, muscle, water – measurable with BIA |
| Rules, bans, rewards and punishment | No reward or punishment system – change without bans or guilt |
| Short-term support | 11 months of support, so that real understanding can develop |
About the System
Understanding nutrition on every level
This is an integrative nutrition system that considers all aspects of nutrition in our lives – whether consciously recognized or not – at the molecular, physiological, and lifestyle levels. Our primary goal is to promote sustainable and positive changes in nutritional and lifestyle habits through scientific analysis and structured interventions.
Throughout the system, we address multiple dimensions – from awareness and behavior to the body – supporting a truly integrated approach to health and well-being. Because every person is unique, we listen closely to individual needs and cultural differences.
I
Molecular
How nutrients, genes and the immune system interact
II
Physiological
Metabolism, body composition and blood values
III
Mind & Lifestyle
Habits, patterns, daily rhythm and mindfulness
Expertise
Five disciplines. One system.
Research and practice go hand in hand – for care that understands causes instead of only treating symptoms.
01
Nutritional Medicine
Prevention and nutrition therapy for metabolic syndrome, obesity and gut disorders, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
02
Molecular Biology
Understanding what nutrients do at the cellular level – from autophagy to insulin secretion.
03
Genetics
Nutrigenetics & nutrigenomics: genetically determined risk factors are built into your individual plan.
04
Nutritional Immunology
Research-based knowledge of how nutrients, the microbiota and the immune system interact.
05
Sustainable Lifestyle Change
Behavior change, stress management and mindfulness – for results that last.
Process
Two phases. One clear path.
The system consists of two main phases and includes a total of 11 structured consultation sessions over a period of 11 months.

Phase One: Awareness · Behavior · Body
Phase Two: Nutrition · Metabolism · Regulation
Anamnesis & Client History
A detailed anamnesis captures your dietary habits and daily rhythm. For seven days you record what you eat and drink – so the later plan fits your real everyday life, sleep and working hours.
- Dietary pattern
- Life rhythm
- Potential health risks
- Blood tests
- Weekly protocol
Extra: Food Intolerance and Allergy Test
Nutritional Awareness
A chocolate bar is often more than just chocolate. We look not only at what is eaten, but also why and how – including influences from family, society and past diets.
- Our unconscious patterns
- The stories we tell ourselves
- Memories and past experiences
- Awareness and mindfulness
Behavioral Analysis & Reflection
Behavioral patterns become visible and limiting beliefs are identified. Individual affirmations help you make changes without bans or guilt.
- Analysis of the weekly protocol
- Identifying behavioral patterns
- Affirmations and mindset work
Body Composition & Blood Analysis
You learn what your body composition and basal metabolic rate mean, how the yo-yo effect develops – and how to avoid it.
- Anthropometric measurements
- Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
- Body composition assessment: fat, muscle, bone, protein, and water
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Metabolic assessment: Basal Metabolic Rate
- Blood test analysis (early risk markers)
- Calculation of daily energy requirements
Your individual plan
Based on all assessments and analyses conducted during Phase One, an individualized weekly nutrition and physical activity plan is developed – tailored to your lifestyle, daily routine, metabolic profile and potential genetically determined risk factors.
- Defining concrete goals together
- Which blood parameters should improve
- Realistic goals for fat loss, body composition and BMI
- Personal nutrition plan with explanations and notes
Goals & Targeted Adjustment
Regular measurements make progress visible – and your plan evolves with you.
- Regular BIA assessments
- Monitoring changes in fat, muscle, bone, protein, and water composition
- Regular monitoring of relevant blood parameters, with targeted adjustments to the individualized plan
- Evaluation of key metabolic and endocrinological factors, including dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, blood pressure, and hormonal imbalances
- Additional assessments according to individual needs and health status
Many patients already notice changes during Phase One.
Timeline
Support that lasts
Early on, many people lose motivation: they follow everything for a month, step on the scale – and see little change. That is why I support you closely at first and then at growing intervals, until real understanding has developed.
“When a patient no longer asks ‘How many kilos have I lost?’ but ‘How much fat have I lost?’, I know that this understanding is there.”
Select a month
- Weekly (month 1)
- Monthly (months 2–5)
- Every 2 months (from month 6)
4 weekly sessions
Anamnesis, awareness, behavior plus body composition and blood analysis – the foundation of the system.
Scientific basis
A biopsychosocial understanding of nutrition
The approach combines key concepts from cognitive behavioral therapy, schema therapy and mindfulness-based approaches – applied to nutrition-related questions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Becoming aware of automatic thoughts and eating patterns, questioning dysfunctional beliefs and developing new behaviors.
“If I stray from my diet plan, I have failed.”
Schema Therapy
Understanding how past experiences shape today’s patterns around food, body image and self-worth.
“When I eat chocolate, I feel better.”
Mindfulness-Based Approaches
Perceiving hunger and satiety signals more consciously and telling emotional from physiological hunger.
“Why do I feel like chocolate right now?”
Important: this is not psychotherapy. Selected evidence-based concepts are applied to nutrition questions – with a focus on nutritional awareness, behavior change and long-term health literacy.

About me
Mert Meydanci, MSc
Molecular Nutrition Scientist
I combine academic research with clinical experience – translating scientific findings into practical, sustainable health strategies.
I studied nutritional sciences in Vienna and completed my master’s degree as a molecular nutrition scientist, specializing in nutritional medicine, immunology and molecular biology.
My research focused on autophagy and metabolic diseases as well as the interaction between nutrition and the immune system – at the University of Vienna and most recently at the Institute of Immunology at LMU Munich.
Alongside my research, I worked closely with physicians in Vienna and gained extensive experience in nutrition counseling for obesity, metabolic syndrome and gut disorders, as well as nutrition during pregnancy.
My goal: to guide people with my expertise so that they can take good care of themselves – confidently and independently, for the long term.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your question? Feel free to write to me.
Who is the system for?
For people with a range of nutrition-related concerns who want to address the causes holistically – for example metabolic syndrome, obesity or gut disorders, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or in sports.
How is it different from classic nutrition counseling?
It does not start with a diet plan but with understanding: awareness, behavior and body are analyzed first. Targeted nutritional intervention only begins in Phase Two – science-based and adapted to your everyday life.
Why does the support last 11 months?
Experience shows it usually takes at least six months for a real understanding of body composition and metabolism to develop. Only then does it make sense to gradually extend the intervals between sessions.
Is this psychotherapy?
No. Selected evidence-based concepts from psychology are applied to nutrition questions. The focus is on nutritional awareness, behavior change and long-term health literacy.
Where do the sessions take place?
In cooperation with ZES – Center for Endocrinology and Metabolism – in Munich-Schwabing-West and in Grünwald.
