The Consultation
Download the Patient Questionnaire (Word document 188kb)
Before the first consultation I ask my clients to complete a questionnaire which can be downloaded from this site. The information from this, together with further discussion, will help me to form a detailed view of your current state of health. Your medical and relevant family history, together with knowledge of your diet and lifestyle, will inform my assessment.
The first consultation lasts about 1 ¼ hours where personal health goals are discussed and the client is advised on which foods are likely to be beneficial and which would be best avoided. A personalised programme is generated and objective advice is given on supplements which are often helpful in restoring health. One or two follow-up consultations are usually advised to assess progress and make adjustments to your programme; these take about 45 minutes. After this you will have enough knowledge to help keep yourself in good health, but a return visit every few years may be advisable.
The benefits of eating well cannot be underestimated; it may be the best insurance for your future health.
Occasionally, biochemical tests are recommended to supply more information on the body’s underlying imbalances, to supplement the information obtained from the questionnaire. The cost of these tests and the cost of supplements are extra to the cost of the consultation.
Phone and e-mail support is available between appointments.
