Frequently Asked Questions

Learn How it Works!

What happens during a consult?
During your initial 60-minute consult we get to know one another and find out what your health goals are. I will take a thorough case history with you to understand your personal situation and the journey you have been on thus far. We will then discuss any integrative pathology testing that would be of benefit to help give us clues as to the cause and drivers of your dis-ease. We will then discuss ways to implement dietary and lifestyle changes to start supporting your journey towards wellness. Unless something is really obvious or you have acute symptoms, no herbal or nutritional supplementation is prescribed in the initial consult. This is to make sure we run relevant pathology testing first to determine the need for nutritional or herbal supplementation.
What is the cost of a consultation?

An initial consult is $360. This covers the 4 – 6 hours of research that is put into each and every case. I believe that spending a lot more time at the beginning to understand your personal circumstances and properly test for underlying functional drivers of dis-ease that we get much better long term outcomes, that in the long run cost you a lost less. I never want to guess with someone’s health, I would rather take my time to understand your situation and your body and prescribe dietary, lifestyle and therapeutic support based on sound evidence. I also work with a team of health care professionals and often take time to discuss your case and work out a full supported health care plan.

I am in a wheel chair and find it hard to get to appointments
I am available to see patients via Zoom or Skype if travelling due to disability is hard. Our clinic in Eltham is also wheelchair friendly. Just let the reception team know before you come and we will make sure we are there to let you through the back door.
How often do you need to see me?
After your initial consult I will generally see you 4 weeks later for a follow up. This is to allow time for any pathology results to come back in. It also gives you time to integrate dietary and lifestyle changes and to see what effect these have on your health. After your first follow up consult we work out a plan that suits you, I am available in between consults via email for support. I believe if you have any questions that you should be able to ask so I encourage patients to reach out to me, we often tweak and adjust things based on your feedback between appointments so you have the maximum results in the time between consults.
Do I have to change my diet to get results?
The short answer… If you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting what you have always got. What we put into our mouths play a huge role in how we feel day to day, that is magnified if we have an autoimmune or neurodegenerative health condition. I will always work with you to make it realistic, but the short answer is yes. You may just have to make friends with green leafy vegetables.
How much does pathology testing cost?
That will depend on the type of pathology testing we decide to have done. As much as possible I will work with your doctor to run basic tests that are often covered by Medicare. We will discuss anything else that might be useful and decide whether extra testing is useful on a cost to benefit ration.
