It includes a healthy "Food First Philosophy" approach plus natural food supplements to target gut health conditions, metabolic health and other health conditions.

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.
