About Me
KATARINA SANITROVA MD, DipNT
mSMC,mNTOI
After completing my medical studies, I specialized in pediatrics. My interest in nutrition was sparked by my health issues and my son’s food allergy, leading me to explore how nutrition could offer solutions where conventional medicine fell short. The book Green for Life profoundly changed my perspective on food, inspiring me to adopt a raw food diet for almost 2 years, during which I successfully healed my asthma. This personal transformation changed my life and motivated me to pursue nutrition more seriously.
I began by studying Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching for a year, followed by three years of Nutritional Therapy in Dublin. This combination of new skills and knowledge, along with my medical background, has equipped me to help my son and my clients improve various health conditions.
Nutritional therapy focuses on achieving balance rather than dieting or counting calories. It recognizes that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, as each person has a unique genetic makeup and different underlying factors influencing their health. As a result, a personalized approach is essential, incorporating tailored nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, specific dietary supplements, and functional testing when necessary.

They Said About Us
I am writing to say Big thanks to Dr. Katarina for her consultation and help my healing.I had intestinal problems for several months, bloating and heaviness, other specialists prescribed prebiotic and probiotics, which made it even worse.And only after recommendation some herbs from IHerb of the Dr. Katarina I start to feel much better. I Highly recommended very professional doctor.
Ever since working with Katarína at Nutrigenix, I have become so much more aware and knowledgeable about how to help my body get the best nourishment in order to live a healthy life and function at ease. I've learned about my eating habits and how small, incremental changes can lead to big results. Also going through different stages of my life I might need to focus on different nutritional options. Now, no matter what situation I am in, and whether I am eating vegetables or cake, I make the right decisions for my body. It's a comfort to know that with all the advice from Katarina, I am ready to get a healthier body and look good too.😇
I would like to sincerely thank MUDr. Katarina for her extremely humane and professional approach. After being poisoned by the Campylobacter bacterium, I had long-term digestive problems that limited me in my daily life. Katarina not only helped me find the right solution, but also patiently went through every step of the treatment with me. I appreciate her broad professional knowledge, her willingness to explain every detail and her kind approach that helped me feel comfortable throughout the treatment. She is a great professional who cares about her patients and is always ready to help. She makes me feel so much better and I know I'm in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional nutritional care.
I can’t thank Katarina enough as she has changed my life. Having suffered with anxiety and peri-menopausal symptoms, Katarina went to the root of the problem instead of trying to cover it by treating the symptoms, which was the case with all the doctors previously. With her depth of knowledge, she makes you feel you are in good hands. I feel much happier, my energy level has improved tremendously and my mental condition is much more positive now!
My son was diagnosed with Parosmia (after Covid-19 infection) and he also suffered with acid reflux. We went to see Katarina by recommendation as his condition wasn’t getting better with medication. We were very impressed by Katarina’s supportive manner, holistic approach, attention to detail and clarity. She is very professional and she combines her functional/nutritional medicine knowledge together with the medical one. She has put together a personally tailored protocol plan for our son to follow day by day. We have seen significant improvement in his health and the condition was healed in about 7 months!
