Your initial consultation is a comprehensive assessment of your current health status and provides you with an indication of how well each of your body systems are functioning or where there may be areas for improvement. In this first consult it’s important to make sure enough information is gathered to gain a clear understanding of your overall health, including symptoms, genetic predispositions and health history. It is also a vital first step in helping you to better health.
To ensure you get the most out of your consultation it is important to discuss any symptoms or health concerns with your naturopath as something you may feel is unrelated or not important, but may be vital. All areas of your health are taken into consideration, and therefore time is allowed for in-depth discussion on each body system.
Naturopaths use a number of tools and modalities to help determine the best treatment protocols to assist your body to restore and repair. These include: iridology, diet and lifestyle choices, food intolerance testing, functional pathology testing, hair mineral analysis, weight loss programs, nutritional analysis, herbal medicine and zinc testing.
