CONSULTATIONS
If you are experiencing health challenges or simply would like to maintain a balanced healthy life and optimise longevity, 1:1 sessions are a chance for you to receive individualised nutrition and lifestyle recommendations that will help you achieve your goals. Juliana designs bespoke plans that integrate naturopathic, nutritional and Functional Medicine principles, aimed at addressing the precursors of your health issues, supporting you nutritionally and biochemically.
THE CONSULTATION PROCESS
In an initial consultation, which lasts approximately 1 hour, time will be spent on a comprehensive evaluation which will allow the gathering of an in-depth picture of your current health concerns as well as your past history. During this session, your goals will be identified and your nutritional intake, as well as your lifestyle habits, will be assessed. A broad variety of other body processes including your gut and cardiovascular health, hormones as well as detoxification capabilities, immune function and mitochondrial health will be evaluated to find out how these systems may relate to the health challenges you may be experiencing.
Prior to your first consultation, you will be asked to complete a consent form and a health questionnaire, which will provide valuable information about your diet, lifestyle, medical history and the general health status of your body systems.
These will be sent to you by email and you are required to complete the forms and send them back prior to your consult. Any tests which may have been ordered by your GP or other practitioners should be brought to the initial consultation.
After the consultation, you will receive a personalised programme by email which will include dietary and lifestyle recommendations, as well as a supplement protocol as appropriate. Juliana designs plans that are not only tailored to be safe, realistic and effective but also aimed at imparting knowledge and strategies that can enable you to understand the principles behind the recommendations. The foundation of all transformation is knowledge.
