What can you expect from a Nutritional Therapy Consultation with Liz?
Prior to coming to see Liz for the first time, you will need to complete a questionnaire. At your first consultation Liz will take a detailed history which will include an overview of your current health problems, medical and family history, plus diet and lifestyle factors. She may recommend laboratory tests if she feel they would be helpful. It is important that your Family Doctor is fully aware of any health problems you may have; if you have not already consulted him / her with regards to your symptoms please do so prior to commencing treatment.
Following your first consultation Liz will send you a personalised dietary, lifestyle and supplement programme based upon the information you have given her. It is important to remember that your prescriptions are not life-long, but will be subject to review as your treatment progresses. You will derive maximum benefit from seeing Liz at 4-6 weekly intervals to monitor your progress and make any adjustments necessary.
