Prior to your Consultation

After having booked your first appointment, you will receive a detailed Confidential Health Questionnaire including a Food Diary. I will analyse the information before our consultation.  

First Consultation

The first appointment lasts 90 minutes. We will review your health concerns in detail and assess your current symptoms. A personalised programme, tailored to your individual needs and requirements will be established and will include the following:

• dietary guidelines 
• supplements
• lifestyle changes (if appropriate)
• recipe ideas
• some practical advice and a shopping list 
• useful websites or apps
• further laboratory or genetic tests (if appropriate)

Follow Up

The follow up appointment usually takes place 3–4 weeks after the first consultation and lasts 45 minutes to one hour. We discuss your progress, the improvement of the symptoms and analyse the results of any tests. The number of follow up consultations will vary from patient to patient.

Testing

In order to assess the imbalances in the body’s chemistry, functional testing is sometimes recommended.

The tests are used to identify:

• food intolerance and allergies
• chronic fatigue (includes an adrenal test)
• nutritional deficiencies
• toxic exposures and heavy metals 
• thyroid imbalances
• hormonal imbalances
• genetic SNPs
• poor absorption/digestion as well as bacterial imbalance, parasites, and candida

These tests are based on blood, urine, saliva or stool samples. Genetic tests are based on saliva samples.

Testing will require additional charges.
