The Consultations
|
As a new client, your Initial (first) Consultation is of extended duration (75-90 minutes). During this consultation, Chris will undertake with you a comprehensive case-taking process, including your extended health history, family health history, dietary intake, lifestyle habits, medical diagnoses/assessments and current treatments. Any proposed prescriptive items are researched to ensure there are no negative interactions with your prescribed pharmaceutical medications/treatments.
This consultation also includes a range of assessments (eg. weight, blood pressure, tongue and nail analysis) and where relevant, questionnaires. Additionally dark field blood microscopy is also available. This process assists in uncovering and exploring factors which might be contributing to your presentation. It also provides a baseline of your health on the day, which Chris will utilise to track changes and adjust your protocol as these occur. It may also be necessary for more targeted external testing (see below) to take place, to assist in pinpointing cause behind your symptoms and to assess efficacy, necessity and ongoing safety of any prescriptive items. Initial consultations are offered with your choice of face-to-face or TeleHealth online format. |
