Your First Appointment…
What to expect for your first appointment…..
What happens prior to your appointment?
Prior to your first appointment we have a period of gathering information about your past and present medical history. For this we will include the reading of any existing lab reports that you have that would still be classed as current. One of the most valuable sources of information is our comprehensive symptoms questionnaire as this provides a wealth of information about what might be going with various different systems and where imbalances my lie. As part of the symptom questionnaire you will also submit key medical history information but if you feel you need to add anything else please do. We actively encourage you to tell us about those things that you would think ‘this is probably unrelated but’….. I can assure its very relevant when we are trying to create a comprehensive picture about how your body is performing.
We always ask for your raw blood results and not just to tell us that your Dr has said nothing showed, or that you were slightly anaemic. We read bloods in a more comprehensive manner than most do, so we are sure to get valuable information here even if others haven’t.
If you don’t have current labs don’t worry. See our frequently asked questions below.
The Start of your First Appointment
To begin your first appointment we will feedback the findings from the information that you submitted and link the various symptoms reported with any labs. Here you will see how your whole biochemistry fits in with your symptoms and the interrelationships that exist. We also welcome you to bring a family member or friend along if you like for an extra pair of ears and memory as their is usually a lot of information here.
Once we have explained all of this we will then move on with looking in to other testing to fill in any gaps that exist or to find out more about some of the root causes of whats changing the function in your body. From here we will discuss the most suitable treatment options available for you and at this session we will usually start with a completely bespoke treatment that will involve an eating plan, some nutritional supplements and the necessary focus of treatment for your own unique needs.
From this first session you will have a comprehensive understanding of what is causing your symptoms or disease and the processes that we are going to undertake for your continued treatment plan.
