Testing is very useful to pinpoint root cause(s) of your symptoms. This enables me to really tailor and personalise dietary, lifestyle and supplement advice; which can help you to get results faster. The advanced and detailed tests involved vary and will be recommended based on your individual symptoms, health history and health goals.

Examples include advanced hormonal testing, such as the DUTCH test. A gut health and microbiome test, such as the Invivo GI EcologiX, a vaginal microbiome test or a full comprehensive blood panel (including more markers than you are able to obtain from your GP). I will always work with your GP and request any testing required that would be available through them, this is often the most basic blood markers.

These are carried out by accredited laboratories that I work with. Depending on the test, most can be carried out in the comfort of your own home e.g. finger-prick blood tests, DUTCH test, and stool samples for gut tests. Samples are sent direct to the relevant laboratory and all equipment and instructions will be provided. Other tests need to be carried out in person, these are often blood tests requiring phlebotomy services for blood draws. I will arrange this for you, either in a clinic (location dependant), or with a nurse visiting your home to take the sample for you (additional charges apply).

Package fees reflect the time spent preparing for your appointments, researching and writing personalised plans, studying and interpreting any GP or functional test results. Unless discussed with you in your nutrition review, tests and supplements are not included in the package price. As these are personalised based on your individual symptoms and health history. You will be provided with all the information you require to purchase these separately.

Absolutely. In fact, I like to insist on this for fertility cases - at the very least for the initial consultation. The ultimate package is therefore most suited for couples seeking fertility support.

Absolutely. If you are going through IVF, or other assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), nutrition and lifestyle is hugely relevant. They play just as an important role in the preparation and research supports this with improvements seen in certain outcomes. Working on a plan together can help to empower you, understanding how best to support your body, and optimise fertility at each stage.

I recommend starting with one package, which will be most suited to your needs. To find out more about the best package for your circumstances and how we may work together, please do book in for your complimentary nutrition review call.

I do also offer renewal and maintenance package options for clients who have completed their programmes with me but would like some ongoing support.

The Foundation package is very much a kick-starter for fairly simple cases, where you want a tailored steer in the right direction to achieve your health goals. This package covers 6 weeks.

The Enhanced and Ultimate packages are designed to be completed over 12 weeks and 6 months, respectively. This is really the minimum time frame needed for clients to be educated, empowered and supported to achieve real step-changes in their health; getting to the root cause(s) of their symptoms, supported with targeted testing for life-long change.

A minimum of 12 weeks is also a crucial period for preconception and fertility programmes. Eggs take around three to four months to mature, and sperm production takes two to three months. Therefore, our health, diet and lifestyle during this period, prior to conception, has a significant impact. This is also true for assisted reproductive technologies, such as IVF or egg freezing.
