Dr. Eda Honca

As a 72-year-old retired chemistry professor with severe diverticulitis, I'd been told to avoid all seeds and nuts forever. Dr. Honca analyzed my specific flare-up patterns and created a 'pulsing' diet plan with reintroduction phases. She identified that cooked flaxseed was actually beneficial for me. Her scientific approach, explaining the 'why' behind each restriction, transformed my relationship with food from fear to understanding. At Acıbadem Fulya, I regained control.

My 8-year-old son, Leo, was diagnosed with ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) after surviving solely on white bread and yogurt for years. Dr. Honca didn't just give us a meal plan; she created a 'Food Explorer' game. Using sensory bins at the hospital and a graduated exposure protocol, she helped him touch, smell, and eventually taste 15 new foods in 3 months. Her child-led approach was a miracle for our family.

I'm a 28-year-old professional ballet dancer who developed RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport). My performance was crashing, and I was facing career termination. Dr. Honca designed a precise, timed nutrient delivery system that synced with my rehearsal and recovery windows at Acıbadem Fulya. She worked with my endocrinologist to reverse my hormonal dysfunction through food alone. I returned to the stage stronger, with my period restored—a victory beyond dance.

After bariatric surgery abroad went wrong, I was 45, malnourished, and could only tolerate liquids. Dr. Honca managed my emergency re-feeding protocol with incredible precision. She used continuous glucose monitoring and micronutrient IVs alongside microscopic food advancements. She saved me from a feeding tube and rebuilt my gut function from the ground up. Her crisis intervention was literally life-saving.
