The purpose of Nutritional Consultations with Gabriela is to asses your diet, nutrient deficiencies and address your health concerns. She aims to give you practical advice on foods to include in your diet and foods to avoid and to educate you on how changes in your diet can improve health.

Every patient is individual, with differing needs. Gabriela takes this into consideration and prepares a programme which can be incorporated into your lifestyle at your own pace.

Prior to your consultation you are asked to complete a Health Profile Questionnaire and Food Diary, which will be sent to you when booking an appointment. The Questionnaire needs to be returned to Gabriela before the first consultation for in depth analysis.

Initial Consultation

Your first consultation lasts 60 minutes and your health concerns are discussed at length. An individually tailored nutritional programme is devised to meet your special needs. This includes:

• Action Plan with clear guidelines
• Foods to incorporate and avoid in the diet
• A supplement programme to help restore nutrient deficiencies
• Fact sheets about your health conditions
• Menu examples, recipes may be included if required
• Relevant laboratory tests such as stool analysis, candida antibody test, food intolerances test or others may be considered to support progress.

Follow – Up Consultations

A follow-up consultation is usually held 4 weeks later and lasts 40 minutes. It focuses on any residual symptoms, new symptoms and test result analysis. The nutritional programme is reassessed and altered as appropriate.

Further follow – up consultations are held at suitable intervals as required.
