The Consultation Process
The first consultation typically lasts 90 minutes when a detailed case history is
taken.
This will include family medical history, your own medical history and a comprehensive
review of your symptoms. The consultation is supported by a questionnaire and a three-day
diet history to help assess your current nutrient intake. Biochemical tests may be
recommended and are usually non-invasive involving, for example, provision of urine,
stool, saliva or hair samples. These can give a clearer picture as to how the body
is functioning and may help to detect early abnormalities. A programme of individualised
therapy will then be drawn up for you to work with and is likely to include dietary
modification, lifestyle advice and possibly supplementation.
Follow-up consultations are usually required to assess progress and modify the programme
as necessary. Follow-ups last 30 to 45 minutes and are, on average, two to four weeks
after the initial consultation.
