To facilitate an accurate assessment, I request the completion of a detailed questionnaire. This helps me understand your specific needs, though we recognise some areas might initially be unclear. These can be addressed in further discussions.

• Understanding you and your body

• Medical and family history

• Current levels of physical activity

• Lifestyle and work environment

• Sleeping patterns

• Dietary preferences

• I will also discuss your short-term and long-term health goals.

My strategy extends beyond mere food selection. It includes guidance on dietary choices, considering your personal preferences. For example, if veggie smoothies aren't to your taste, I won't suggest them. I also tailor physical activity recommendations to fit your lifestyle, understanding that not everyone has the time or desire for traditional gym workouts. Even small steps, like a daily 10-minute walk, can make a significant difference.

I may recommend temporary supplements to jumpstart your body's healing process. The core idea is to foster natural self-healing, with supplements serving as a short-term aid.

Collaboration is key. I co-create your plan with you, ensuring it's realistic, manageable and sparks your enthusiasm. While I offer support and guidance, your dedication is what truly drives success.

If necessary, I may suggest additional functional testing, such as blood, saliva, urine or stool tests, which are more comprehensive than standard GP tests. These tests provide an immediate snapshot of your health and guide our approach to enhance your well-being.

I might also refer you to specialists like physiotherapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists or herbalists if it benefits your ongoing health. Collaborating with your GP and other medical professionals, we strive for the best possible outcome for you.
