I am a qualified Clinical Nutritionist and Health Coach. I am also a qualified Medical Laboratory Scientist with over 30 years experience (including Genetics, Cytogenetics, Haematology, Microbiology, Biochemistry & other areas). 1. I assist clients with general healthy nutrition, wellness & vitality strategies. 2. I assist Clients and their Family improve their Health & Vitality with Nutrition and Lifestyle strategies. This includes Pre-Pregnancy and Pregnancy nutrition care. 3. 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. The protocol provides a gentle nutrigenomic approach to improving health goals. It includes a healthy "Food First Philosophy" approach plus natural food supplements to target gut health conditions, metabolic health and other health conditions. Visit https://cell-logic.com.au/the-g-e-m-m-protocol-for-patients/ for more information. Therefore, I am qualified to support clients with digestive health imbalances (including constipation, diarrhoea, food sensitivities, diverticular disease & more) , metabolic health (including healthy weight management , cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin, glucose and blood pressure management) and other health conditions (including autoimmune & neurological conditions). Regarding weight management, many clients are using weight loss medications, therefore optimising the client's diet is especially important to minimise nutrient deficiencies that may occur. I also help clients understand their conventional and functional laboratory test results. Treatment plans are based on a client's extensive health history which I take in the Initial (First) appointment (including medical history, family history, diet, lifestyle, medications, supplements, conventional & functional pathology test results). Please bring your most recent laboratory test results and a list of current medications & supplements to your First appointment. 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 consults for essential treatment plan or consult queries. I may recommend additional pathology laboratory testing (Conventional &/or Functional- Gut Microbiome, Genetics, hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) or sensitivities) to gather other health information. I may recommend supplements for extra health support (optional extra costs for supplements & functional lab tests). Therefore, for New Clients: 1. Book an INITIAL (First) consult (75 min or 90 mins) or COACH BUNDLE depending on individual circumstances. Or book a Discovery call to discuss which consult session is best for your circumstances. 2. First consult session: I will take a detailed health history and discuss relevant pathology test results with you, your health goals, provide education & strategies for your personal holistic nutrition and lifestyle treatment plan, answer any questions you have, and provide you a completed treatment plan the same day or the next business day. 3. If you have private health cover, you may be able to claim a nutrition consult rebate for both initial and follow-up consults, dependent on your health fund type & level of extras cover. Current health funds you can make a claim with include HBF, Latrobe health services, Mildura health fund, Phoenix health fund, see-u by HBF, St Lukes Health, Medibank, NIB, Australian Unity & AHM. Check with your private health fund for eligibility including codes/item numbers for initial and follow-up consults. You cannot claim through Medicare however. 4.
