WHAT TO EXPECT

I offer several packages and the right one for you is based on the severity of your symptoms and the length of time I believe we need to work together to produce the best results, based on the conversation that we have prior to commencing. I do packages as opposed to one-off consultations because from experience I know that the best results come from my ongoing guidance and your accountability to follow the protocol that I deliver. During our 15 minute phone conversation we will discuss your symptoms, goals and concerns and I will explain where I believe my services can best help you. If you help you require is out of my remit I will refer you in the right direction for you.

Before the first consultation I will provide a health and nutrition questionnaire and food diary which are to be completed before a full analysis during a consultation can commence. I will then evaluate your individual needs using extensive evidence based research in nutritional science to develop a personalised, safe and effective nutritional and lifestyle program that is bespoke for you. If further testing is needed this will be fully discussed and this may range from GP blood tests, ultrasound, hormone testing, microbiome, liver, adrenal function, nutritional absorption, allergens or genetic testing to enable me to give you a full restorative program which will include lifestyle, nutritional, supplemental vitamins or minerals and/or possibly bio-identical hormones. (Please note further testing, supplements and bio-identical hormones will be an additional cost). You can choose a package that incorporates the appropriate testing which will give us more clarity on underlying cause for symptoms.

Appointments can be booked online here as per the type of package required. Any testing will require discussion with you prior to booking in order to fully analyse which kit is the right test for you from my testing page. Payment for consultations is required at the point of booking and I operate a 48 hour cancellation period prior to consultation (full payment will be taken within this non-cancellation timeframe). Payment plans for some of my larger packages are available. It is advised that you book in your follow up appointments at the same time as your initial appointment (4-6 weeks later) in order that you are already in the booking system for this and not waiting for a follow up time in my diary.

Package 1: Hormone Health Check

The initial consultation will include an in-depth medical and nutritional analysis, taking a 360 degree systems-oriented approach so a plan can then be implemented and tailored to address your health concerns. This consultation will typically last 60-90 minutes. It is required that a full medical questionnaire and food diary are filled out prior to the first meeting which will be emailed to you in advance. Any recent blood tests will be analysed during this consultation and if there is a need for further NHS testing you will be given a referral letter for your GP.

Your personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan will be emailed to you within one week of this consultation accompanied by a phone or facetime call when I will go through it with you and any supplements that might be required can then be ordered. You will then have a 30-45 minutes follow up consultation 4-6 weeks later where an adapted plan will be given to you to support your ongoing progress. Further follow up consultations can be booked as needed.

Package 2: Hormone Health Reset

The hormone health reset package has the same features as the hormone health check but with the addition of another follow up appointment. This package has the benefit of us working together over a four month period (at a reduced rate) by which time you should be seeing great results!

Package 3: Hormone Health MOT

This package includes the same consultations as the hormone health check but with the addition of a hormone test. From a DUTCH hormone test we can fully analyse what levels your hormones are at, this not only examines to your sex hormones; oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEAs but also cortisol, your stress hormone and melatonin for sleep. This is an incredibly insightive test and is the gold standard for hormone testing, a real must if you want to figure out exactly what is going on. I would highly recommend this test to most of my clients. Included in this package is the analysis of the test together with the implementation of your results into your personalised plan.

Package 4: Hormone Health Masterplan

This package includes two tests. The DUTCH hormone test as described above and a fully comprehensive gut stool test. From this test we will be able to ascertain the function of your digestive system which will evaluate any imbalances in bacteria, parasites or yeasts. It will also will indicate any inflammatory conditions like IBS or IBD, nutrient absorption issues, food sensitivities and the overall status of your microbiome. What goes on in the gut can have a huge effect on your hormones and you immune health overall, again, this is a test that many functional doctors see as essential for analysing and improving the health status of clients. If you would like to see a sample report of either of these tests you can order through my testing page.

Package 5: Full DNA Package

This package is particularly exciting because it takes an indepth look into the power of genetic testing, understanding your predispositions and enables me, as an accredited practitioner to provide explanations of the results and make recommendations that are tailored to enhance or dampen down variants in pathways that are indicated by your genes. This package incorporates the DNA test kit along with five reports that are most specific to your needs from the following list: methylation, detoxification, histamine intolerance, nervous system, nutrient core, oestrogen balance, thyroid balance, athlete or APOE. I then, following an indepth consultation, will give you a personalised plan that not evaluates everything you would expect from a 360 analysis but is also combined with a proactive and preventative health plan that takes in your genetic results.

Follow up/ongoing consultation or ad-hoc results analysis consultation

This can be booked as an add-on to any of the packages above. During this 45 minute consultation we will focus on the progress you’ve made, your current symptoms and any changes you’d like to make to your goals. Afterwards you will be emailed an amended plan in line which was has been discussed in the session. This consultation can also be booked if you are on a package or if an ad-hoc test has been taken and you would like the results analysed and incorporated into your plan.

Clients would typically visit me for an initial consultation in person at my clinic but I also operate via Skype, Zoom or Facetime so that consultations can be managed remotely if required.

Functional health tests can be booked on my testing page as an add on to any consultation and supplements can be ordered online with The Natural Dispensary, as a client of mine you can use my practitioner discount code BHUTCH10 at checkout.
