how it works
-
1. pre-consultation
Prior to our initial consultation, I will ask you to fill in a Health Questionnaire and complete a 3 Day Food Diary, so I am able to get a thorough understanding of your health concerns and goals.
-
2. initial consultation
For our initial consultation, using the functional medicine framework I will take a thorough medical history, and assess all of your bodily systems. This will last around 60 minutes, but there’s no strict time-frame for this - if we need to spend a little longer together, then we will spend a little longer - the important thing is for me to gain a comprehensive understanding of where you’re at, so that I am best equipped to help you improve your health and wellbeing.
-
3. the plan!
After our initial consultation I will put together a personalised, holistic nutrition and lifestyle plan that is uniquely tailored to you, including dietary, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations, recipes and meal ideas, and informational handouts.
I will guide you though the plan via phone or video call to make sure everything is clear and that you are happy with it.
-
4. gp and/or functional testing
In some instances it may be prudent or beneficial to carry out GP or functional testing. Tests may be recommended to establish where any nutritional deficiencies and metabolic imbalances may lie. And to help gain a better understanding of the root cause of your health concern. I will, of course review and interpret all test results for you.
-
5. additional support
This is an optional extra for those that would like additional support and guidance in-between appointments. This is a bi-weekly 20 min. service for us to check in, see how you’re getting on and make adjustments if necessary.
-
6. follow-up appointments
Follow-up appointments take place around 4-6 weeks after your initial consultation. Here we will assess your progress, celebrate your successes, and address any concerns or questions you may have. If tests have been undergone I will review and guide you through the results, and together, we can develop new goals. You will then receive an updated plan and additional resources to guide and support you through your health journey.
