Clients should expect a comprehensive health and lifestyle assessment, a review of their blood analysis where applicable, behavioural support, functional laboratory test recommendations and personalised nutrition, lifestyle and supplement plan. Some clients will also receive recipe ideas, structured food plans and support, and educational handouts.
“I want to educate and empower individuals to take control of their health, taking away any ambiguity by diving into the root cause of symptoms and working through the underlying issue together. The sessions are completely personalised, and a large part of the journey is to break down habits by providing small, sustainable changes tailored to their lifestyle. It is vital for me that individuals retain a positive relationship with food. I recognise that food is an integral part of one’s social life and, often, an expression of emotions.
If an individual is battling a particular condition or symptom, it is often vital to stage protocols to ensure that we get to the root cause and support each bodily system that may be affected.”
Meet with Mel to explore and understand how you can break down bad habits by making small, sustainable changes, take control of your health and nutrition while maintaining a positive relationship with food. Learn more about this by visiting our Nutrition Page.
