Consultations typically last 75 minutes, during which you will be provided with an evidence-based analysis of your diet and lifestyle, and support programme tailored to address your health concerns.
Prior to your first consultation
You will be asked to complete a detailed Health Questionnaire and 7-day food diary. If you have any GP blood test results from the last 12 months or any additional test results that may be relevant, you will be asked to send them.
On receipt of these documents Abbie will need at least one week prior to your consultation to research and put together a detailed analysis of your health concern(s) as well as start putting together a tailored programme for you. At Thrive Nutritional Health, we use the latest medical research to ensure the information we provide you with is the most up to date.
During your consultation
Abbie will go through your completed health questionnaire, asking further questions and verifying with you the information provided. She will then explain to you what she believes may be contributing to your main health concerns and introduce you to an initial dietary and lifestyle programme. This may include a supplement programme or this may come later after possible further testing.
Functional Testing
In a number of cases Abbie may recommend further investigative testing. We always try to refer clients back to their GPs for testing on the NHS wherever possible, however in some cases Abbie may suggest functional testing that is not available on the NHS, for example, a comprehensive digestive stool analysis, which includes a full profile of both the gut microbiome and digestive health as well as other markers, or a comprehensive hormone panel e.g. female hormones, full thyroid panel.
These tests are at an additional charge. It is of course your choice as to whether or not you go ahead with further testing and we will always endeavour to find ways to work around this if testing is not within your budget.
Following your consultation
Abbie will email you the key points discussed during your consultation, which will include diet and lifestyle advice, and if relevant, a supplement programme.
Follow-up consultations
Your first follow-up consultation will take place approximately 4-6 weeks after your initial consultation. During this meeting Abbie will discuss any new test results, your progress so far with the diet and lifestyle recommendations made in your first consultation and further recommendations will be made based on any new or additional information.
Subsequent consultations will be agreed based on progress. If you have bought a package, the 3rd consultation will provide you with a maintenance programme and advice to take you forward.
Supplement discounts
As a client of Thrive Nutritional Health you will receive a discount of 10-15% on supplements included in your programme.
