NUTRITIONAL THERAPIST
WORKING TOGETHER
Discovery Call
The discovery call is an essential step that allows you to ask questions and to determine if nutritional therapy, and myself, are a good fit for you.
During this time, I'll also get the opportunity to learn a bit about you, including your journey and wishes, and explain the process ahead. Overall, this process helps establish a strong foundation for a successful therapeutic relationship.
I will only suggest we work together if I believe it’s a fit, and there’s no pressure to commit after our call. It’s simply a friendly conversation!
If we both feel we are a good fit, I will send you the welcome package which includes more detailed information about the upcoming sessions, as well as helpful tips for getting started.
Before our initial consultation, all new clients are asked to complete health history questionnaires and, in many cases, I will recommend selected blood tests to have done before we meet. This allows us to make the most of the time that we have.
Additionally, as part of the initial process, I will ask female clients to track their menstrual cycle for 30 days prior to our first session. This will help us establish your ovulation health, identify patterns, and assess hormone balance. Details for competing this will also be included in the welcome package.
Initial Assessment
Our first meeting will last approximately 75-90 minutes and involves a deep dive into your health history and what has occurred up to this point. These sessions can get quite heavy as its important that I have a good clinical picture of your experience.
During this session, we will discuss your detailed health background, including any relevant blood test results that may be impacting your current health status.
From this point, we will begin to outline the first stages of implementing a nutrition and supplement program, including further functional testing chosen to target the areas of your health that deem further investigation.
During our time together, we will explore key areas such as:
- Your fertility goals
- Current health status and medications
- Symptoms and their severity
- Personal and family medical history
- Digestive function and nutrition
- Meal preparation and dietary
- Lifestyle, exercise, sleep, and stress management
Personalized Programme
The information gathered during the inital consultation will be used to carefully curate a nutrition and lifestyle plan, including supplement recommendations, that take into account your unique nutritional needs.
There are many confusing and contradicting recommendations out there that can make it difficult to know which supplements to take and taking too much of the wrong thing can be counterproductive and in some cases dangerous.
All recommendations that I make will be based on scientific evidence and adjusted approporately as we progress through these sessions.
All nutrition plans include:
- Nutrient specific dietary recommendations.
- Macronutrient distribution.
- Specific food additions for optimal digestive function (if required).
- Supplement recommendations.
- Lifestyle recommendations and techniques (for exercise, sleep, stress, and toxic load).
- Functional testing recomendation for further investigation.
Follow-up Sessions
The follow-up stages of the fertility nutrition program provide a structured opportunity to assess and refine your strategy in alignment with your reproductive goals.
During these sessions, we evaluate changes in your health indicators and symptoms, ensuring that every stage of progress is acknowledged and suported further.
We will conduct a thorough review of your functional results to make informed adjustments to your supplement regimen, ensuring that your nutritional support is tailored to your unique needs.
Ongoing interpretation of test results will guide our discussions and decisions, enhancing the efficacy of your program.
All clients will have access to a private messaging platform during the entirety of their programme and 3 months after, allowing for continuous support. I remain readily available to address any questions or concerns that may arise throughout your journey, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
My promise to you—I will work harder and look deeper than any clinician or doctor has done so thus far. At every stage I will do my best to explain in detail the reasoning for any new protocol, including mechanisms involved, so that you can make informed decisions about your health.
