I am a qualified Clinical Nutritionist, and a Functional, Integrative Nutrition & Lifestyle Health Coach. I am also a qualified Medical Laboratory Scientist with over 30 years experience (including Genetics, Cytogenetics, Haematology, Microbiology, Biochemistry & other areas). I assist clients with general healthy nutrition, wellness & vitality strategies. I assist Clients and their Family improve their Health & Vitality with Nutrition and Lifestyle strategies. This includes Pre-conception and Pregnancy nutrition care. I am also an Accredited Gut Ecology & Metabolic Modulation (G.E.M.M) protocol practitioner founded and developed by Dr. C. Houghton at Cell-Logic, Australia, to assist clients with digestion, metabolic health and other health challenges. The protocol provides a gentle approach to improving health and wellness. It includes a healthy "Food First Philosophy" approach plus natural food supplements to target gut health as well as other areas in the body. Visit https://cell-logic.com.au/the-g-e-m-m-protocol-for-patients/ for more information. Therefore, I am qualified to assist clients with digestive health imbalances, metabolic health (weight, cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin resistance, glucose and hypertension management), and other health challenges, including autoimmune and neurological conditions using the G.E.M.M health core principles or other strategies. I also help clients understand their conventional and functional laboratory test results. Treatment plans are based on a client's extensive health history (medical history, family history, diet, lifestyle, medications, supplements, conventional & functional pathology test results) from the initial and follow-up sessions and health questionnaire sent to the client before the first consult. For each client I ensure the Nutrition & Lifestyle treatment plan is holistic, matches each client's health goals and is based on the best scientific evidence at that time. I also offer FREE email support in between follow-up consults for quick treatment plan or consult queries. I may recommend additional pathology laboratory testing (Conventional &/or Functional) to gather further health information and I may recommend supplements for extra health support (optional extra costs for supplements & functional lab tests). Functional Lab tests may include Genetics, Microbiome, HTMA & other types. Genetics tests may assist clients with prevention of nutrition and lifestyle diseases, or in improving health goal outcomes.
