About your consultation
What to expect
Your first consultation with us is usually for one hour. We can see you in person in our clinic or speak by phone, skype or email. In that time we discuss your health concerns, what you want from the consultation, dietary approaches you have tried before, food you eat and avoid and your lifestyle.
We then create a dietary plan, with practical meal suggestions, a shopping guide for reading food labels, tips for eating out and useful recipe books, websites and support groups.
We then meet again to review your progress and this is usually for 30 minutes. Many people meet with us 3 or 4 times but there is no set number of consultations. It is about what you want from us.
What to bring with you
When you book with us, you will be emailed or mailed your food, activity and symptoms diary. You can complete this either by hand or typed on the computer and bring with you.
If you like, do bring a family member or friend. As we say ‘two sets of ears are often better than one’ and especially if the other person does most of the cooking at home.
You can bring any food labels you want help with reading, a list of supplements or the bottles themselves and a list of medications you take.
If you have recent blood results or a letter from your doctor, do bring these along.
