The first appointment is and hour long. A questionnaire will be emailed to you which you would need to fill in and return before the appointment as this helps to give you the best support on the day of the appointment. Health conditions will be discussed and dietary and supplement guidance given to help you achieve a better state of health. Sometimes other functional tests will be advised and these include blood, stool, urine and saliva tests. The results of these tests come back to me and in most cases you would need a follow up appointment to discuss the results. The follow up appointment is 45 minutes.
