Your Follow Up Consultation includes:

1. Progress Review Since Your Initial Appointment

Your practitioner will begin by discussing:

Symptom changes and improvements
Your response to supplements, dietary shifts, and lifestyle recommendations
Any new or ongoing health concerns
Challenges or barriers that may be impacting your progress

This helps ensure your plan remains aligned with your needs.

2. Review of Functional Pathology Results (If Applicable)

If you have completed any testing - such as hormone panels, digestive/microbiome analysis, thyroid or adrenal profiles, methylation/genetic testing, or food intolerance assessments—your practitioner will:

Explain the results in clear, easy-to-understand terms
Highlight key findings or imbalances
Connect the results to your symptoms and health goals
Outline the clinical priorities and recommended treatments
Provide a phased, personalised plan based on your results

Test review is detailed, empowering, and tailored to your unique biochemistry.

3. Updated Treatment Plan

Based on your progress and/or test results, your practitioner will refine your functional medicine plan, which may include:

Adjustments to supplement or herbal prescriptions
Updated nutritional and lifestyle strategies
Stress, sleep, and digestive support recommendations
Gradual habit-building or behaviour-change planning
A clear roadmap for the weeks ahead

4. Optional Body Composition Tracking (Tanita MC-780)

If relevant to your goals, your practitioner may repeat a Tanita MC-780 Bio-Scan to monitor shifts in:

Muscle mass
Body fat percentage
Visceral fat
Metabolic rate
Hydration status

This helps track measurable progress and guide treatment decisions.

5. Discussion of Next Steps

Before your appointment ends, you’ll discuss:

What to focus on between now and your next visit
