The truth is that we all operate differently and so what happens at my clinic may be vastly different to what happens somewhere else.
When making an appointment with me I will ask you for your mailing address and send you a number of questionnaires and a diet sheet for you to record what you consume in the space of a week. I will ask you to bring those records with you on your first visit, your assessment consultation.
During the assessment consultation I take a detailed history asking you all sorts of questions not only about your health but also about your liifestyle and other relevant information such as medication prescribed by your doctor.
I take your blood pressure, record your weight & height, have a look at your nails, tongue and skin and ask you to undertake a zink taste test.
I have a look at your iris (coloured part of your eyes) with my computer assisted iridology equippment which gives you a chance to see your eyes on the computer screen and which allows me to discuss certain relevant details with you there and then.
I frequently prescribe mineral supplements and dietary changes at the first appointment unless the patient presents with an acute illness and needs other remedies for immediate help.
I will then invite you back a fourtnight later when I present a written report to you. This report outlines what I feel needs to be done to help you improve your health. We will discuss supplementation and lifestyle changes. It will be up to you to decide if you are indeed willing to embark on the journey to better health. As I always point out to my patients, you drive, I only direct!
If you decide to go ahead with the treatment program we start supplementation and the lifestyle program and make appointments for continuous care visits. These visits will be fourtnightly at first but can be spaced out depending on individual needs.
Continuous care visits help you keep on track and provide me with the opportunity to keep a close eye on changes in your symptoms as well as providing me with a chance to advise you about better liefstyle choices.
Assessment & Report consultations take approx. 60-90 min.
Continuous care consultations approx. 30 min.
