From managing chronic disease to fuelling athletic performance, every service is grounded in evidence-based medicine and adapted to Filipino food culture and daily life.
Areas of Care
As both an Internal Medicine physician and a Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian, Dr. Zapanta can write the prescription and the medical nutrition plan in the same visit, no referrals, no fragmented advice.
Comprehensive outpatient and inpatient medical care for adults. Dr. Zapanta manages the full spectrum of internal medicine, from annual check-ups to complex chronic disease cases requiring coordinated care.
Common concerns include diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, thyroid disorders, anemia, and general adult health screening.
Adults managing one or more chronic conditions, patients needing a regular internist, and those seeking a thorough medical check-up.
Individualized medical nutrition planning for specific medical conditions, built around Filipino food, rice, adobo, sinigang, kakanin, and everyday ingredients you can actually find in your local palengke or grocery.
Evidence-based protocols for diabetes (blood sugar control), hypertension (low-sodium Filipino eating), weight management, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) renal diet.
Patients with diabetes, hypertension, CKD, obesity, dyslipidemia, or anyone who wants a science-backed approach to eating for their health condition.
Performance nutrition for Filipino athletes, gym-goers, weekend warriors, and active individuals. Dr. Zapanta helps you fuel training, optimize body composition, and recover faster, without falling for supplement myths.
Backed by his fellowship training in sports and metabolic nutrition, consultations cover macronutrient periodization, hydration, pre- and post-workout fueling, and weight-class management for competitive athletes.
Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, gym members, competitive sports players, and anyone wanting to improve performance or body composition under proper medical supervision.
Specialized nutrition support for patients who cannot eat normally, whether due to surgery, critical illness, neurological conditions, or gastrointestinal disease. This is hospital-based, closely monitored care.
Enteral nutrition (tube feeding) and parenteral nutrition (IV nutrition / TPN) are prescribed and managed with precise caloric and micronutrient calculations tailored to the patient's medical condition and metabolic needs.
Hospitalized patients, post-operative cases, ICU patients, stroke patients with dysphagia, cancer patients, and those with severe malnutrition who need clinical nutrition support.
A whole-person approach to metabolic health that goes beyond prescriptions. Dr. Zapanta integrates evidence-based lifestyle interventions, nutrition, sleep, physical activity, and stress management, into a practical plan that fits your daily life.
This is not about trendy supplements or quick fixes. It is about making durable changes to the habits that drive long-term metabolic health: blood sugar regulation, body weight, energy, and cardiovascular risk reduction.
Health-conscious individuals, professionals with high-stress lifestyles, patients with pre-diabetes or early metabolic syndrome, and anyone who wants to optimize their baseline health long-term.
All of Dr. Zapanta's services are available via teleconsult. Whether you are in Metro Manila but can't make it to a clinic, or you are based in the province, remote consultations give you access to the same standard of care.
Teleconsults work well for follow-up visits, medical nutrition plan reviews, lab interpretation, and initial consultations for straightforward cases. In-person visits are recommended for first-time complex cases and physical examination.
Follow-up appointments, provincial patients, OFW family members coordinating care for relatives in PH, and anyone with a busy schedule who cannot make it to a clinic in person.
Simple Process
Three steps from first contact to your consultation. No complicated forms. No long waits for confirmation.
