My
Approach
Blending modern science with an understanding of the biochemical pathways underpinning the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Initial Consultation
In this visit we discuss your symptoms and health priorities. A copy of your most recent blood test will be required. From this information I work to connect the dots, taking into consideration the way in which each organ system impacts each other. This approach is not often utilised by Dietitians who do not consider themselves to be holistic, integrative or functional. A tailored treatment plan will be provided rather than stock standard handouts. This plan will also be provided to you via email after the consultation.
Review Consultations
In this visit we discuss any changes in symptoms and health priorities. The treatment plan and supplementation will be discussed. If supplementation is provided, a prescription to purchase the 'practitioner- only' products will be provided to you. The cost of each supplement will be below the recommended retail price. The number of review consultations will be determined based on your symptoms and complexity.
The definition of holistic shapes my practice. Holistic means:
-
Emphasising the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts.
-
Concerned with wholes rather than analysis or separation into parts.
When a condition or set of symptoms are looked at as a whole rather than in isolation, creating a nutritional treatment plan is more likely to reduce symptoms and achieve desired improvements. As an example, for someone with high blood sugar levels, it may be useful to look at how their digestive system is functioning. This is because poor digestion, bloating or constipation can lead to low energy levels, and that may be triggering sugar cravings raising blood sugar levels. Dietitians that utilise this approach use the terms holistic, integrative or functional.
Science-based
High scientific standards ensure you obtain accurate, unbiased advice. I am constantly looking at the research to see what interventions have been studied.
Personalized for You
I treat the symptoms and the root cause so you can get healthy. This is as oppose to providing standard guidance that you may find online.
Integrative Health
Treatment usually includes dietary, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations.
If you are eligible for the Medicare rebate (approx. $55 per session), you will need a care plan from your GP. Usually eligibility requires a complex health issue. Discuss this with your GP. Claims can be done easily online through your MyGov account.
Alternatively costs may be claimable with private health insurance ‘extras’ cover. All claims can be done easily online
