By providing as much information as possible, this first step enables me to understand your situation and needs, so that we can focus on and discuss specific areas in greater depth during the initial consultation. Whilst it may take time to complete, this step is important to support the investigation and piecing together of the jigsaw.

During this meeting, I will work with you to clearly define your key priorities and your short and long-term health goals. We will also clarify areas from the questionnaire and then deep dive into other areas to ensure that I have a good understanding of your situation, including dietary preferences, demands on you (e.g. caring for dependents, elderly parents, job), sleep patterns, and physical activity levels.

This is created in collaboration with you, taking into account your individual dietary needs and preferences (including food likes and dislikes), making it clear, simple and manageable, and being realistic about lifestyle changes to support adherence and long-term sustainable change. Supplementation may be recommended following questionnaire and consultation analysis and/or test results.

To support the investigation, further testing may be recommended. This may include GP tests, private functional tests and/or genetic tests which may involve saliva, blood, urine, and/or stool samples. Guidance and instructions for test completion are provided to clients, and client’s financial situation is taken into account in testing recommendations.

I work collaboratively with other medical professionals and specialist practitioners to ensure that clients receive joined-up, holistic support.

I’ll support you throughout your journey, providing guidance and answering questions, while also utilising specialist coaching skills to help you overcome any personal mental barriers, allowing you to focus on achieving your unique health goals.

An opportunity to review progress, celebrate successes, and discuss any further adjustments to nutrition, lifestyle and supplementation. Depending on your situation and needs, further testing may be recommended to support investigations.
