PCOS affects every woman differently, which is why generic diet advice so often fails. As a PCOS nutritionist in Dubai, Simran Nijhawan builds personalised, evidence-based plans around your health history, blood results, symptoms and goals. Nutrition cannot cure PCOS, but the right approach can genuinely help you manage weight, energy, cravings and cycles, and Simran’s clinical training means her advice is grounded in medical insight rather than social media trends.
Simran’s other core focus is gut health: IBS, bloating, food intolerances, constipation and the fatigue and brain fog that so often travel with them. Rather than cutting out foods indefinitely, she works through a structured process to identify what is actually driving your symptoms, then rebuilds a diet you can enjoy and sustain. She also supports patients with high cholesterol, blood sugar control, prenatal and postnatal nutrition and weight management.
Simran’s passion for nutrition began at Emirates European Medical Centre, not as a practitioner but as a client. Experiencing first-hand how nutrition transformed her own health sparked her career change, and she is proud to have returned as the clinic’s in-house nutritionist. She believes food should be empowering, not overwhelming, and that real results come from sustainable changes tailored to your lifestyle, medical history and goals.
Simran holds a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from King’s College London and a Master of Science in Dietetics from Leeds Beckett University. She worked in leading Central London hospitals, including Chelsea and Westminster and Northwick Park, supporting patients with complex needs across gastroenterology, liver disease, hyperlipidaemia, stroke rehabilitation, antenatal care and weight management. She is registered with the Dubai Health Authority and with the UK’s Health and Care Professions Council, registration DT032653, which you can verify on the HCPC register, and she is a member of the British Dietetic Association.
Working inside a multidisciplinary clinic means Simran’s patients get joined-up care. Patients recovering from injury with the clinic’s chiropractors often pair treatment with nutrition support, and those managing chronic pain can combine her input with the clinic’s drug-free pain relief treatments. Outside clinic hours you will find her on the tennis or padel court, practising yoga or experimenting in the kitchen.
Yes, within honest limits. Nutrition cannot cure PCOS, but research consistently shows that the right dietary approach can help manage symptoms such as irregular cycles, weight gain, cravings and low energy. Simran builds your plan around your blood results, symptoms and lifestyle, and works alongside your doctor rather than replacing medical care. Progress is reviewed and adjusted at follow-ups.
First, a detailed consultation covering your symptoms, diet, medical history and any test results, because bloating has many possible causes. Simran then works through a structured, evidence-based process to identify triggers, rather than simply cutting out food groups indefinitely. The goal is a sustainable, enjoyable diet that keeps symptoms controlled. If your history suggests a medical review first, she will say so.
No referral is needed; you can book directly. Recent blood tests are helpful, and if you have them, bring them along, but they are not essential for a first visit. Where testing would genuinely sharpen your plan, Simran will recommend specific tests through your doctor. Our front desk team can also help you check insurance coverage for dietetics.
Dietitian is a protected title in the UK, requiring accredited clinical training and registration with the Health and Care Professions Council. Simran is an HCPC registered dietitian, registration DT032653, which you can check on the public register online, and she is DHA licensed in Dubai. That means her advice is clinically trained, regulated and evidence-based.
Most patients start with an in-depth initial consultation, then follow-ups every few weeks to review progress, adjust the plan and keep momentum. Lasting habit change usually takes a few months of support rather than a single visit, but there is no lock-in. Appointments are available every day from 8:30am to 7pm, in Umm Suqeim 2.
