Liezl Compion

Liezl obtained her degree in Dietetics from the University of Stellenbosch in 2000. She started her career in the UK as a clinical hospital dietician. She obtained a wide range of experience in medical and surgical wards and diabetes and paediatric clinics, but her main area of expertise was paediatrics where she worked in the neonatal unit and dealt with parents and children with obesity, ADHD, allergies, fussy eaters, malnutrition and gut related problems.

After returning from the UK in 2004 she joined a private practice in Somerset West and Stellenbosch and have been practicing there for 11 years. She has 3 sons, one which require a specialist diet and supplementation for a genetic disorder, which taught her tremendous lessons on the practical side of her passion, childhood nutrition.

Her specialist interests, which she has been working with in private practice for the last 11 years include; nutrition in pregnancy, healthy eating in children and babies, overweight and insulin resistance in children, ADHD, fussy eaters, gut related problems i.e. constipation and diarrhoea in children, nutrition support in underweight children and nutrition support in cystic fibrosis.

She also has a specialist interest in eating disorders and metabolic syndrome in adults including insulin resistance, dislipidemia(abnormal cholesterol levels), hypertension, central fat distribution, overweight or obesity and conditions associated with metabolic syndrome including fatty liver disease, hypothyroidism, hemochromatosis and polycystic ovarial syndrome. She recently completed a course in genetics and nutrition and is incorporating genetic testing in developing the best health plan for her patients.

She truly has a passion for nutrition and her patients and treat every patient and child as an individual to achieve optimal health through a healthy lifestyle which include nutrition, exercise and medical food.
