What happens in my consultation?
Your first consultation will assess your current health status. Together we will determine what you want to achieve and your short term and long term goals. We will discuss what you are eating, how you feel presently, your medical history and any other health issues you may be experiencing.
After reviewing your health information and seeing you in person, a treatment plan will be devised. This outlines:
• Your goals
• My suggested dietary changes and herbs/supplements if necessary
• The time frame in which we expect to work
• Approximate costs involved with treatment
• Costs of ongoing treatment vary considerably depending on your needs, budget and the time involved.
Tests I may use:
Zinc Taste Test
Zinc levels can be assessed using a ‘Zinc taste test’. Zinc is an important mineral for the immune system, reproductive systems, wound healing and repair, and our sense of taste and smell. This quick and simple test gives a great indication of your zinc status.
Urinary Indicans Test
This is a simple urine test which will indicate the level of overgrowth of ‘bad’ bacteria in the bowel- dysbiosis. Dysbiosis can lead a variety of digestive symptoms such as diarrhoea or bloating, and is useful for indicating the need for a detoxification program.
Allergy or Intolerance Testing
94 common foods, additives, sweetners and colours are screened for possible intolerances or sensitivities that may be responsible for a range of symptoms including digestive complaints, sinus, asthma, and eczema.
Hair Analysis
Provides an overview of the bodies mineral and heavy metal levels and ratios. A comprehensive report is supplied with results, graphs and recommendations based on the results.
