Our Health Unlimited Program
What consultations are included in my program?
As many as you need, yes, totally uncapped. We do it this way, so you don’t need to worry about time or finances; Our goal is to support you to achieve results and that includes offering as many consultations as you need (recommended at least every 2 weeks).
The first consultation is your initial assessment consultation and is 1.5 hours in length. Other consultations are 45 minutes in length.
How long will I need to work with you? Is 4 Months right for me?
A typical case will see significant improvements in 4 months, although in some complex cases where there are multiple chronic conditions, it can take a bit longer. 4 months is the minimum amount of time I recommend when we are looking at transforming your health, and looking at diet, as well as areas such as sleep and stress.
We will get a better idea when we see how your body responds to treatment as everybody is different. Of course, if you need to continue working with myself after the 4 months, this is always possible.
Will I need to take supplements or do lab testing?
Laboratory tests offer an insight into your bio-chemistry and enable treatment to be more focused on your unique biology and the root causes of your health issues. They may, therefore, be recommended, although there is no obligation to do the tests. We have access to cutting-edge pathology tests from labs such as
- NutriPath
- Genova Diagnostics
- Precision Analytical
- Great Plains
Our laboratory tests are often more advanced than the standard conventional tests offered under Medicare, and may assess risk factors (metabolites) for conditions that aren’t covered by Medicare. For instance, a stool sample test looks at the health of the gut, its microbiome, parasites, inflammation and numerous other factors which give us a better indication of the functioning of your gut and how that may be affecting your symptoms. Your GP is not typically trained in the latest Functional Testing and working with these tests. Our practitioners are have undergone years of training in their interpretation.
Whilst in the first instance, we do support you with nutrition and lifestyle changes, sometimes supplementation is suggested. Supplements are used as exactly that – as a supplement in addition to the primary nutrition and lifestyle changes,
We will explain why supplements have been recommended and how they will support you in achieving your goals. We will either have the supplements available in-stock or will provide details of where to order them online. We will also let you know of any possible drug-nutrient interactions with medications you may be taking.
What online courses are included in my program?
We have a self-paced online course which runs alongside the one-on-one consultations. It covers topics such as sleep, stress, diet foundations and gut health. This course supports the work we are doing in our one-on-one consults, covering the content in detail.
What can I expect during my first consultation?
In an initial consultation, we look at:
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?
We work together to get clarity around your goals, so that the personalised plan we develop helps you achieve your goals and re-gain your health and well-being.
HISTORY TAKING
We go over your health concerns and your Functional Medicine health questionnaire and gather a detailed health timeline since birth to bring your health story to life. The timeline is about you, the individual, and what makes you unique. It helps us to identify the imbalances in the systems of your body.
WHAT IS CAUSING MY HEALTH ISSUES?
Based on the information that you have given me, I will explain what is likely going on in your body. I’ll also talk about any lab testing, or symptom questionnaires, that will also be useful to find out exactly what is going on.
WHAT NOW?
When we have a better idea of what is going in the body, then we can then pin point our priorities, nutrients, and lifestyle changes that will help.
Together, we work on a comprehensive health plan including diet, and sleep, stress management, and movement. I will ensure you understand why each step of the plan is included so that you aren’t simply told what to do, and are motivated to make the necessary changes.
You will leave the session with the motivation, knowledge, and support to follow the plan.
Do you work with vegetarians/vegans/carnivores?
Contrary to the internet, there is no one way of eating that is right for everyone in every situation!
I take a very personalised view of nutrition that is based in your needs, preferences, and goals.
I can work with you whether you are Vegan or Carnivore or somewhere in between..
Our Clinic
Do you see clients remotely?
Yes, we do, and we find it works really well, wherever you in Australia.
If and when you need any supplements or test kits, these are sent out through the post – no problem!
Are you seeing clients in person?
We’ve taken the step to only seeing clients online, or the phone if you prefer. We find both ourselves and our clients find it easier and more convenient this.
What are the clinic’s opening hours?
Monday 9AM – midday and 3PM to 6PM
Tuesday 9:30 AM to 1PM
Wednesday 9:30AM to midday and 1PM to 2:30PM
Consultations outside of these hours, e.g. after 5pm, are available on request
Health Unlimited Investment
What is the investment?
The fee for our comprehensive 4-month program is priced at $2095 AUD, ensuring you receive valuable support and personalized guidance throughout your journey. This includes unlimited consultations with me, where we tailor your program to your exact needs. While the program fee covers consultations, please note that additional costs for supplements and lab testing are not included.
To complement your learning, you will also gain exclusive access to our self-paced online course. This resource is designed to empower you with the knowledge needed on your path to wellness.
We understand that paying the program fee upfront may not be feasible for everyone. As such, we offer a flexible payment plan. The plan initiates with a first-month payment of $750, followed by three subsequent monthly payments of $500 each. This arrangement allows you to spread the cost over time, ensuring our program remains accessible to you.
Is the expense of laboratory testing or supplements included in your plans?
Any supplements or laboratory testing (that isn’t done through your GP and Medicare) will be an additional cost. This isn’t included in the program price as it varies greatly from person to person.
Can I claim on my Extras insurance (Australia)?
Unfortunately, as of April 1, 2019, most private health insurers won’t offer rebates for our services.
Please speak with your health insurance provider about whether you are covered. Functional medicine isn’t yet recognised in Australia. You will be billed for ‘Naturopathy’, which is code ‘107’ for an initial consult and a ‘207’ for a follow-up consult.
I like what I see, but it’s a big investment
Sometimes it’s worth considering, what is the cost of not taking action? What does it cost you, financially and otherwise, to treat the symptoms and not the root causes of your health issues?
There’s a huge cost in the lifetime dependencies on drugs, supplements, surgeries, and lost wages. By using nutrition and Functional Medicine to improve your health, you are essentially investing in a healthy way of life.
Seeing a Functional Medicine practitioner involves a very in-depth intake assessment, a thorough history taking, extended consultations maybe lab testing. This obviously increases the initial out of pocket expense. We are also considerable less expensive compared to many other Functional Medicine providers in Australia.
However, knowing the root causes of your health issues is priceless. It means that we can address these causes and improve your health quicker, meaning less supplements and interventions in the long term.
I generally recommend working with a practitioner for at least 2 months. This involves a commitment on your part as well as mine.. I’m committed to you, your health and safety whilst we work together. You can contact me questions at any time between consultations using our coaching app so that you are never without support. I’ll be your expert health expert and coach during this time.
It is also possible to pay for our programs by monthly installments at no extra cost.
