Health and Wellness Review
For those who want to relieve symptoms and change their nutrition and lifestyle habits but don’t know where to start. Those who need coaching and guidance on their journey.
A 30-minute consultation where your practitioner will spend time with you listening to your health concerns including existing diagnoses, symptoms, successes, and challenges to date.
- Together we identify a health goal and the focus points and action steps that may help you to achieve it.
- We discuss potential barriers to change and identify and agree on tools and strategies to overcome them.
You will get an outline of your roadmap to wellness, clarity on your goals, the steps necessary to achieve them, and potential obstacles you may encounter on your journey. We will introduce Nutritional Therapy and Functional Medicine so you can gain an understanding of the power of nutrition and lifestyle habits, functional testing, and supplementation, that may not only alleviate current symptoms but also help prevent the onset of disease in the future.
Nutritional Therapy
For those struggling with symptoms and who want to find their way to optimal health and wellbeing and prevent disease in the future. Those who need an expert as well as a guide and ally on their journey.
A 60-minute initial consultation followed by follow-up consultations (60 minutes) as agreed.
- Prior to your initial consultation you complete a simple intake form which we use to assess any prior diagnoses, medications and supplements, your symptoms, your current nutrition and lifestyle practices, and which bodily systems may be contributing to your concerns.
- During the consultation we will spend time listening to your health concerns, including existing diagnoses, symptoms, successes, and challenges to date. We will work with you to identify the complex underlying triggers that may be contributing to your health issues.
- Using Nutritional Therapy, we will offer you tailor made health plans, using nutrition and lifestyle interventions to help support the body towards maintaining health. There is no one size fits all approach to healing – we consider every client to be individual and therefore each plan recommended will be unique to your specific health goals.
You will get an outline of your roadmap to wellness, clarity on your goals, the steps necessary to achieve them, and potential obstacles you may encounter on your journey PLUS a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan, a recommended supplementation plan and testing recommendations to investigate further underlying root causes of your symptoms.
Functional Medicine
For complex pre-existing conditions that have not been helped via orthodox medical treatment alone. For those whose symptoms are complex and often unexplained. Those symptoms that need thorough investigation and testing and specialised dietary and lifestyle interventions.
A 90-minute initial consultation followed by follow-up consultations (60 minutes) as agreed.
- Prior to your initial consultation you complete a very detailed intake form which your practitioner will spend time analysing before you meet. We prepare a Functional Medicine (FM) Timeline and Matrix of your health.
- During the consultation we will spend time discussing your entire life experience from pre-birth to today and help you gain insight into what predispositions, conditions, environments, and choices throughout your life may have contributed to the development of the symptoms you are currently experiencing. We fill in as much detail together on your FM Timeline as we can.
We fill in as much detail as we can on your FM Matrix to really complete a deep dive into your bodily systems and which ones may be imbalanced and need the most support. We also complete an extensive analysis of Modifiable Lifestyle Factors – nutrition, exercise & movement, sleep & relaxation, stress, relationships & networks.
We may also recommend some functional testing and supportive supplementation.
- Functional Medicine aims to investigate and address root causes of chronic disease and ill-health. These can and often are, multifactorial for every individual. We look for and address root causes, optimise diet, lifestyle and nutrient status and support mental, emotional and physical health.
You will get an outline of your roadmap to wellness, clarity on your goals, the steps necessary to achieve them, and potential obstacles you may encounter on your journey.
- PLUS a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan, a recommended supplementation plan and testing recommendations to investigate further underlying root causes of your symptoms.
- PLUS with the timeline and matrix we take into account everything that may be affecting your past, current and future health including genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, microbiome health, immune health, structure, energy, toxicity, hormone and neurotransmitter balance, hidden infections, environment, thought processes, trauma, relationships, connection, and community. You gain clarity on your symptoms and where they may have stemmed from. You gain an understanding of the multifactorial nature of all illness and disease and where to start when coping with a complex illness.
