We leave no stone unturned in understanding your health history, current concerns, lifestyle, genetics, and goals, ensuring we develop a holistic and evidence-based plan that supports long-term wellbeing.
Our focus is on root-cause functional medicine—not quick fixes. Your Initial Consultation sets the foundation for understanding your unique biochemistry and building a personalised, sustainable path toward lasting wellbeing.
Initial Consultation – What to Expect
Our practitioners take the time to understand you - your health history, current concerns, lifestyle, genetics, and goals - so we can develop a holistic and evidence-based plan that supports long-term wellbeing.
Your Initial Consultation Includes:
- Detailed Health History & Symptom Assessment
We begin by exploring your whole health story, including:
- Current symptoms and concerns
- Past medical history, medications, and diagnoses
- Stress, sleep, digestion, hormones, and lifestyle influences
- Family and genetic factors
This allows us to build a complete, accurate picture of your wellbeing.
- Review of Any Previous Test Results
If you bring recent blood tests or reports, your practitioner will review them and highlight key patterns, imbalances, or areas that may need further investigation.
- Optional Bio-Scan (Body Composition Analysis)
As part of your consultation, we may include a full Tanita MC-780 Bio-Scan—a medical-grade body composition assessment that provides valuable insights beyond standard weight and BMI. (additional fee applies)
Your scan includes:
- Visceral fat rating (internal fat linked to metabolic and hormonal health)
- Muscle mass distribution across all major regions
- Body fat % and fat mass
- Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
- Hydration status & total body water
- Metabolic age
- Sacropenic Index (loss of muscle mass and strength)
This data helps your practitioner:
- Identify metabolic, hormonal or inflammatory patterns
- Track progress over time with measurable markers
- Tailor nutritional and lifestyle recommendations
- Personalise weight, energy, and metabolism strategies
The scan is non-invasive, quick, and forms a key part of your personalised health plan.
- Clinical Assessment
Depending on your presentation, your practitioner may also check:
- Blood pressure
- Stress indicators or mood screens
- Bio-toxin screens
- Specific nutritional or functional signs
- Personalised Functional Health Plan
By the end of your consult, you will receive:
- A tailored plan addressing your primary health concerns
- Nutritional, lifestyle, sleep, and stress-management strategies
- Supplement or herbal recommendations (if clinically indicated)
- Clear next steps and treatment timelines
- Pathology & Functional Testing Recommendations
If further investigation is appropriate, your practitioner may discuss:
- Standard general pathology
- Functional pathology
- Thyroid, adrenal or hormonal panels
- Digestive and microbiome testing
- Genetic/methylation testing
- Food intolerance or sensitivity testing
All testing is optional and recommended based on clinical relevance, giving you the power to decide what is best for your health journey. We respect your autonomy and will guide you in making informed decisions about your health.
- Access to Ongoing Support
After your appointment, you’ll also have:
Secure messaging for brief follow-up questions
A guided plan for upcoming consultations
