When we work with you, we take the time to understand the story of your health.
We always start by discussing your health goals, and by talking through your health and life story. We may also advise specific tests if we think these would be useful. Above all, we listen and aim to understand.
We’ll then give targeted and personalised advice. This will likely include recommendations for dietary change, and advice on physical activity, sleep, and relaxation. We’ll recommend specific supplements if we believe they may be valuable for you.
Our recommendations will be designed collaboratively to fit your lifestyle, and targeted specifically at issues underlying your health complaints. It’s truly a ‘root cause’ approach.
Choosing your level of support
In our introductory call, we’ll talk through what we can offer, and decide what would best fit your goals. We’ll work with you to design a plan that suits your health needs, lifestyle and budget.
Many of our clients are aiming to create significant changes in their health. From experience we know that such changes take some time and support; as such, we’ll generally recommend a three-month programme of Nutritional Therapy.
Some people don’t have any particular health concerns to address, but are simply interested in further improving their health. In these cases, we may recommend a single consultation.
What to Expect
In our Nutritional Therapy programmes, we help you to understand your body, create a plan of nutritional and lifestyle recommendations, and support you in implementing change.
Understanding your health
We will meet in person or on a video call to get to know you and gain an in-depth understanding of your health. We will ask about your current symptoms, health history, previous tests and treatments, diet, and lifestyle. All these details, from childhood illness to current habits, help us to discover potential root causes of illness and opportunities to improve your wellbeing.
We’ll then provide you with nutritional and lifestyle recommendations (diet, physical activity, sleep, self-care, and relaxation). We’ll discuss these with you in detail, and make sure they fit well with your lifestyle. We may recommend specific supplements or tests (e.g., stool or hormone tests) if we think these would be useful for you.
Making changes
Everyone responds to nutritional and lifestyle changes differently, and you may find some recommendations easy to implement, and others challenging. We are certified coaches, and we’ll help you through this critical phase. We’ll discuss your questions and challenges, and refine your plan so it is well-suited to you.
We offer check-in and coaching sessions, for example, for clients making substantial changes (such as elimination diets).
Interpretation and adaptation
We’ll make follow-up appointments to explain the results of any tests and to discuss how you feel your health is responding to the plan. We modify recommendations to create an enhanced plan based on the changing picture of your health. If necessary, we may make referrals to other healthcare practitioners, doctors or specialists.
Supporting long-term health
We will help you to implement your enhanced plan, and ensure it suits you well. Depending on the complexity of your case, we offer several options for flexible ongoing support to suit your health goals, lifestyle and preferences.
