Health Condition Assessment

Our health condition assessment is a comprehensive review of your health, with a focus on identifying risk factors related to your specific health concerns or condition(s) and offering personalised recommendations and support to help improve your health.

We have expertise and experience providing assessments and support for the following health conditions:

• heart conditions and heart attack
• diabetes or prediabetes
• stroke
• arthritis or other chronic pain conditions
• anxiety or depression
• Parkinson’s disease
• frailty associated with ageing
• renal disease

The assessment takes approximately 45 minutes and includes a conversation about your previous medical and health history. Prior to your session, we may ask you to complete a client information and health history form. During the assessment, we will perform specific clinical assessments related to your condition(s) and overall health. These could include an exercise test (with or without ECG), lung capacity, cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure (at rest and during stress), body measurements, and assessments of things like quality of life, mood and readiness to change scales.

Based on the results of our conversation and your assessment results, we will offer specific and personalised recommendations and create an action plan. You will be provided with a report summarising both the assessment results and the action plan.

The cost of the health assessment is $170 and you can book here. If you have medical insurance, some insurance policies may partially or fully cover the cost of this assessment and we encourage you to speak with your insurance provider.

You do not need a referral from your doctor to come and see us, though we do encourage you to share your results with your doctor.

Nutrition Consultation

Our nutrition consultation is for people who have identified that food is an area that they would like to improve in life. There is so much information about food available, much of which appears contradictory, that sometimes knowing what works best for you can be very difficult.

If you:

• have tried a number of diets yet struggle to maintain a healthy weight and relationship with food (you’re in good company, research shows the majority of dieters are not able keep the weight off and often end up actually gaining weight in the medium and long term)
• are concerned about what is the right pattern of eating for you
• know a bit about good nutrition but haven’t quite been able to make it stick
• are healthy and simply want to eat well
• would like specific advice about eating for a health condition such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis.

The assessment takes 30 minutes and will include an assessment of your current eating pattern and content. You will be asked to complete a food diary prior to coming to your appointment and we will use that information as the basis for a conversation.

We will make an action plan for your nutrition which could be a structured menu plan or simply options to choose from for different meals. We will listen to your personal tastes and identify lots of options that will both be yummy and serve your health.

The cost of a nutrition consultation is $120 (which includes the 30minute consultation and additional time spent building your meal plan and recipes) and you canbook here.

Medication Review Consultation

Our medication review consultation is for people who take regular medications to prevent or manage a health condition. You may have been on your medicines for a long-time or you may have had something happen recently that means you now have a number of pills to take each day.

If you are:

• Unsure about why you are taking medicines or would like to learn more
• Wanting to identify and treat the underlying cause instead of symptoms only
• Taking (or wanting to take) dietary or herbal supplements in addition to your medicines
• Feeling ‘stuck’ with managing your medicines
• Wanting a medicines plus more natural and holistic lifestyle management plan for your condition,
