First consultation
Individual consultations provide each client with personalized nutritional information and a meal pack tailored to specific nutritional requirements. An adult caregiver must accompany children younger than 16 years. Partner consults are welcomed, and will last longer than the usual first consultation.
The initial consultation is 60 minutes long. It includes a detailed assessment of medical history, family medical history, blood results (if required, you may be advised to go for required blood tests, but this is not compulsory), lifestyle and eating habits.
A detailed body composition analysis (measuring body weight, fat percentage, muscle mass, visceral fat and metabolic age using the latest advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology; waist circumference measurement; growth chart evaluation) is performed and goals are discussed.
This is followed by a detailed discussion that helps you to understand your condition; and concentrates on the physiology of the underlying condition(s) and how it impacts health, the impact of food and nutrition on health, weight and specific disease conditions and which food modifications need to be considered. You receive your personalized meal plan 3 days after the consultation.
