Personalised support, without being tied into a package
I believe nutritional therapy works best when it is shaped around the person rather than a fixed programme.
Everyone comes with a different health history, set of priorities, lifestyle and level of support required. For that reason, I do not routinely tie clients into packages or predetermined numbers of appointments.
We begin with a discovery call.
If we both feel that nutritional therapy is the right next step, you can then book an initial consultation. From there, we agree an appropriate timeline and decide together what level of follow-up support is likely to be useful.
The process is flexible, but commitment matters.
Meaningful changes in nutrition, lifestyle and health rarely happen overnight. Consistency gives us the opportunity to implement changes, understand how your body responds and adjust the approach as we learn more.
Initial Nutritional Therapy Consultation — 90 minutes
The initial consultation is where we begin to build a detailed picture of your health.
Before we meet, you may be asked to provide relevant information such as your health history, current medications and supplements, dietary information and any recent test results you already have.
During our 90-minute consultation, we will explore areas such as:
- your current symptoms and concerns
- your medical and family history
- your diet and eating patterns
- sleep
- stress
- movement and exercise
- digestion
- energy
- hormonal stage where relevant
- medications and supplements
- existing blood tests or investigations
- your priorities and health goals
The aim is not to look at each symptom in isolation.
We begin to identify the patterns and factors that may be contributing to the wider picture and decide which areas deserve attention first.
Following the consultation, you will receive personalised recommendations based on what we have discussed.
These may include nutrition, lifestyle, movement, sleep or targeted supplementation where appropriate.
Additional testing may sometimes be considered, but only when it is likely to answer a useful question or influence the direction of your plan.
More testing is not automatically better care.
At the end of the process, we will also discuss whether follow-up support would be useful and what an appropriate timeline might look like for you.
Initial consultations are available following a discovery call.
Follow-up Consultation — 60 minutes
Follow-up consultations allow us to review what has happened since your initial appointment.
This is where the process becomes truly personalised.
We can look at:
- what has been working well
- where you have found things difficult
- changes in symptoms or wellbeing
- changes in diet, sleep, movement or lifestyle
- relevant test results
- questions that have arisen
- whether recommendations need to be adjusted
- what deserves attention next
The number and timing of follow-up appointments will depend on your individual needs.
Some people may benefit from relatively close support initially.
Others may need more time between appointments to implement changes and observe what happens.
I prefer to agree this with you rather than asking you to commit to a fixed package before we know what you need.
Why follow-up matters
The first consultation gives us a direction.
Follow-up gives us the opportunity to understand how your body and your life respond to that direction.
Health changes take time, and consistency is important.
Regular review allows us to make sensible adjustments rather than continually changing strategies or expecting everything to happen at once.
For existing clients following an initial consultation.
Medication & Supplement Review — 30 minutes
A focused review of your current medications and supplements
This session is designed for clients who would like a clearer understanding of their current supplement routine alongside their prescribed medication.
Ahead of the appointment, you will send me an up-to-date list of:
- prescribed medications
- over-the-counter medicines
- vitamins
- minerals
- herbal products
- other supplements you are currently taking
I will review this information before we meet.
During the review, we can consider:
Drug–nutrient considerations
Some medications can influence the absorption, metabolism or status of particular nutrients.
Where relevant, I will identify recognised drug–nutrient depletion considerations and discuss whether anything may warrant further attention.
Medication–supplement interactions
Supplements are not automatically harmless simply because they are available without prescription.
I will review your current supplements alongside your medications and flag potential interaction or safety considerations where relevant.
Whether your supplements still make sense
Supplement routines can gradually grow over time.
We will review:
- what you are taking
- why you are taking it
- whether the dose and form remain appropriate
- whether there is unnecessary duplication
- whether anything may no longer be required
- whether further discussion with your GP, pharmacist or prescriber is appropriate
The purpose is not to change prescribed medication.
I will never advise you to stop or alter prescribed medication without discussion with the healthcare professional responsible for prescribing it.
Who is the Medication & Supplement Review for?
This session can be particularly useful for existing or previous nutritional therapy clients who have completed their main programme of support but would like to periodically review their supplements and remain on track.
It may also be useful when:
- your medication has changed
- your supplement routine has become complicated
- you are unsure whether supplements are still necessary
- you are taking several different products
- you would like an evidence-informed review of what you are currently using
Not sure where to begin?
All new clients begin with a 20-minute discovery call.
It gives us both the opportunity to decide whether nutritional therapy feels like the right next step before you commit to an initial consultation.
The Healthologist provides nutritional therapy and health education intended to complement appropriate medical care. Nutritional therapy does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. Prescribed medication should only be changed in consultation with the prescribing healthcare professional.
