After earning her B.Sc. degree from the University of the Free State (UOFS), Lize broadened her experience by working with the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom, serving in Liverpool, Manchester, and Bristol. This exposure equipped her with a global perspective and deepened her clinical expertise.
In recent years, the practice has expanded to include Jacqueline Pienaar, Anel de Wet, Nale Pretorius and Megan Botha who bring fresh energy and specialized knowledge to the team. Together, they've ventured into emerging areas of nutrition, including modern supportive weight loss therapies such as gastric balloons, where ongoing dietetic support is key to long-term success.
The shift toward online consulting, spurred by the Covid pandemic, has opened exciting new possibilities. Through platforms like Zoom, Teams, and WhatsApp, Lize and her team are now able to support patients across borders, helping to optimize outcomes through consistent check-ins and real-time guidance. Regular feedback reports to referring specialists ensure coordinated care and maintain the highest standards of professionalism.
By offering tailored dietary strategies, proactive support, and evidence-based interventions, Lize Snyman's practice continues to make a meaningful impact—one patient at a time.
