J.32/ The Consultation Process
In this blog I’ll run through how my consultations are conducted, my research process, how you order your supplements and how you can keep in contact with me during our treatment process.
Our 1.on.1 consultation is online via Zoom, in the comfort of your own home! Upon booking your consultation you’ll receive a confirmation email with the details of our Zoom meeting. In your confirmation email you’ll also find a form to fill out before our appointment, this allows me to get some back ground history on your symptoms, family history, diet intake and current supplements. This is greatly helpful as I am already thinking and doing prep work before our consult on how I can help you. Booking in your appointment is also streamline as you can see all my available appointments on my website, if you can’t find something that suits you please get in contact with me here and we can work together to find a suitable time for us both.
During our consultation I speak with you in great detail about your main health concerns but we also delve into your whole health. This involves a lot of questions and discussions on your past and current health and symptoms, the more information I have the better I can help you achieve your health goals. These questions involve anything from your gut health to any skin conditions, we cover everything! Our initial consult goes for roughly an hour so make sure you’re in a comfortable spot with minimal interruptions. During our consult I am usually mulling over ideas in my head of a possible treatment plan as we speak and I jot down any ideas I have while we’re chatting away, this allows me to make sure I can explore every possible avenue. At the end of the consultation I go over all the important points that we covered and ask if you have any thing else to add. I will also usually go over any tips or diet additions while I’ve got you as this is easier to convey via chatting rather than email in some cases.
After our consultation I start doing more research into your case, for those tricky ones this can sometimes take a few hours! I start to get an idea together of the main areas I’d like to focus on treating first, I like using mind maps I find these great for being able to see things clearly whilst also putting all my ideas down. From there I start picking out products/supplements I think would be suitable for my client. Once I’ve finalised the plan for my patient, I write everything down clearly, how to take the supplement, what it’s for and how long to continue taking it. In your treatment plan I also include any dietary alterations, lifestyle changes and any other relevant information. Once you’ve received your treatment plan in an email you’ll be able to log in and order the supplements and these get sent straight to your home.
I usually recommend a follow up consultation is booked in anywhere from 4-8 weeks depending on how you’re going with the supplements. In this consult we go over past symptoms, any current symptoms, how you’re going with the supplements, any relevant pathology testing and any other health queries. Ideally speaking my goal is to have you symptom free and in optimal wellbeing so it’s best to continue treatment and regular consults until your health is balanced again.
