Initial Consultation
This first-time appointment is for the purpose of an initial evaluation to gain a holistic understanding of you as an individual.
It usually focuses on clarifying information gathered from your pre-consultation questionnaire and the necessary deep dive into your health concerns, wellness goals, dietary and lifestyle practises to establish where you’re starting from in your healing journey. It may also include, validated screeners (such as those which can aid in the identification of eating disorders and/or sugar/carb/processed food addiction) to determine if more thorough diagnostic assessments are warranted.
The information gathered will provide insight about your body, metabolic health, mental health, nutritional status and how your current diet and lifestyle choices are impacting your wellbeing. After this evaluation, you will be offered some first impressions of your top nutritional priorities and what nutritional interventions are indicated to address these. It is not possible to address all your nutritional and lifestyle priorities in the first consult. Generally, several (5-12) priorities will be identified with the aim to address 1-3 per session. A personalised nutrition care plan will be devised and delivered to you across 4 or more follow-up sessions, that can be booked on an as-needed basis, or if indicated several subsequent appointment options will be booked for those needing more intensive support.
