Dietary Treatment on Chol HaMoed
Question
Shalom
I began a course of treatment with a dietitian (to improve my health) via Zoom (in digital form) before Pesach, and the sessions are held every week.
Is it permissible from the outset for me to have a session as part of this ongoing series during Chol HaMoed?
The session also includes writing done by the dietitian.

Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
All medical treatment is permitted on Chol HaMoed.
If something is not actual medical treatment but only for “improving health,” it should be postponed until after Chol HaMoed, unless the continuity of the therapeutic process is necessary.
