Consultations

Types of Consultation

Consultations are available by appointment and generally take the forms of an Initial consultation followed by one or more follow up consultations as required.

Before the Consultation:

Before your first consultation you will be asked to fill in a 7 day food diary, symptoms analysis questionnaire and a general questionnaire covering personal information, health, diet and sports profile.

• Try to fill in the questionnaires as accurately as possible.

• The more detail you provide the better the quality advice I can provide.

The Food Diary

• Try to take it over a week with an intake that is fairly representative of what you have been having over the last 3 months. This will help me relate the foods you eat to any symptoms that you may have had in the last 3 months or more.

• Do not suddenly try to improve your diet for the food dairy week as this will be counterproductive in the long run.

The Symptoms Questionaire

• The symptoms questionnaire enables me to ascertain possible health issues you may have.

• Fill it in carefully with scores from 0-2 depending on the severity of the symptom.

The General Questionaire

• The questionnaire should be filled in as fully as possible. Please fill in the sports profile if you are an active sports person.

• Try to indicate in the diet profile whether if there are differences between what you are reporting here and what is in your food diary.

During the Consultation:

The information you provide forms the basis for a series of written findings, recommendations, suggested foods and menu plans that I will produce for the you to take away.

Follow up Consultations:

A 2nd consultation is strongly advised so that I can determine with you if the changes are being followed successfully and are working.

Prior to subsequent consultations I will ask you to fill out another 7 day food diary and a symptom analysis questionnaire along with a feedback form.
