After booking your consultation with me, I will forward an in-depth questionnaire and three-day food diary to you via e-mail, for completion.  This will enable me to assess your health and nutritional status.  Please be aware that there is a requirement for you to return the completed questionnaire and three-day food diary to me, at least one week before your consultation so that I may review all of the information provided, including details of any medications that you are currently taking, as this will ensure that due consideration is given to your safety, when looking to compile your personalised nutritional protocol. 

One hour is devoted to your initial one-to-one consultation.  During our time together, I will be taking on board the specific needs of your body, whilst empowering you to commit to achieving your goals, including considered choices deemed necessary to benefit your overall future health.  Invariably, I will be looking to discuss with you, aspects relating to your life that could well be having an impact on your health and from there, will look to determine whether it will be feasible for you to undertake any functional laboratory tests.  This will then place me in a position to develop a dietary & lifestyle plan that supports you therapeutically in a way that is entirely unique to your particular needs.  

Your protocol will include:

• A personalised nutrition plan (modifications to existing diet or entirely new suggestions)
• Suggested dietary supplements (if required)

I will provide you with a quick reference report, consisting of an overview summary, outlining your nutritional and lifestyle plan, as well as details on how to order dietary supplements, should those form part of your protocol, following your consultation.  I will forward your report to you, via e-mail, within five working days of your consultation. 

I usually recommend that you attend a follow-up appointment approximately four to six weeks following your initial consultation, which will give me the opportunity to review your progress and if necessary, adapt your plan.  You might require subsequent follow-up sessions, depending on your progress, which I will always discuss and agree, with you.  In terms of session duration, I devote 30 minutes to each Follow-up appointment.
