WHAT TO EXPECT FROM AN APPOINTMENT

Whether you're seeking guidance on improving your overall health, managing a specific health condition, or simply looking to fine-tune your diet, you're in the right place. Here's what you can expect during our time together:

Initial Assessment: Your appointment will typically start with a comprehensive assessment of your current health status, dietary habits, lifestyle factors, and any specific concerns or goals you may have. This assessment helps me gain a thorough understanding of your individual needs and preferences. An initial appointment can last between 60-90min. 

Personalised Recommendations: Based on the information gathered during the assessment, I will create a personalised plan tailored to your unique requirements. This plan will include dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, supplements (if appropriate), and other strategies aimed at optimising your health and wellbeing.

Education and Guidance: Throughout our time working together, I will provide you with valuable education and guidance regarding nutrition, healthy eating habits, portion sizes, food choices, and other relevant topics. You'll learn how to make informed decisions about your diet and lifestyle to support your health goals.

Goal Setting: Together we will establish realistic and achievable goals that align with your health objectives. These goals may include improving energy levels, managing weight, enhancing athletic performance, supporting digestive health, or addressing specific health concerns.

Follow-Up Support: Your nutritional therapy appointment doesn't end when you walk out the door. I will offer ongoing support and encouragement as you implement your plan. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to track your progress, make adjustments to your plan as needed, and address any questions or concerns that arise along the way.

Drug-Supplement Interaction Checking: Ensuring your safety is paramount to me, which is why I meticulously assess potential interactions between your medications and any supplements or dietary changes I suggest during our appointments. Understanding that you may be on medications for various health concerns, I prioritise compatibility to prevent adverse effects and optimise your treatment plan. By prioritising safety through comprehensive interaction checks, my aim is to provide you with the utmost care and peace of mind as you progress on your wellness journey.

Lab Tests Recommendation: I may suggest certain lab tests to delve deeper into your health status and customise your nutritional therapy plan accordingly. These tests offer insights into nutrient levels, inflammation markers, hormonal balance, and metabolic function, aiding in tailored recommendations. Depending on your needs, recommended tests could include comprehensive blood panels, food sensitivity assessments, or specialized tests. Integrating targeted lab testing allows for a better understanding of your physiology and enables the creation of a personalised plan for optimal health. However, these tests are optional, and there are plenty of strategies we can explore without them.

Appointments can be held in English, Portuguese or Italian
