Frequently Asked Questions
Which consultation should I choose?
Quick Consult is ideal for straightforward questions. Metabolic Foundations is designed for general health and lifestyle optimization, while Comprehensive Consultation is best suited to more complex or interconnected concerns requiring a deeper assessment.
What types of health concerns can we discuss?
Consultations can cover a wide range of topics, including metabolic health, nutrition, digestion, energy, breathing mechanics, posture, movement, and musculoskeletal dysfunction. More complex concerns involving multiple physiological systems are generally better suited to the Comprehensive Consultation.
What makes your coaching approach different?
My approach emphasizes the interconnected nature of human physiology rather than viewing individual symptoms or systems in isolation. By examining relationships between metabolism, nervous system function, breathing, posture, and movement, we can work toward a more comprehensive understanding of your concerns.
Are blood tests or other medical tests required?
No. Testing is not routinely required. I prioritize a thorough understanding of your health history, lifestyle, symptoms, and functional patterns. Existing test results can provide useful context, and additional testing may be worth discussing when appropriate.
Do I need to prepare anything before our consultation?
You'll be asked to complete an intake questionnaire outlining your primary concerns, relevant history, and goals. For more involved consultations, existing medical records, test results, or other relevant documentation may be useful but are not necessarily required.
Is this a one-time consultation or an ongoing coaching program?
Each consultation is designed to provide useful guidance and actionable recommendations as a standalone service. Additional consultations can be arranged when a more extended process of assessment, refinement, or follow-up would be beneficial.
Can you help with longstanding or complex problems?
Yes. The Comprehensive Consultation is intended for individuals dealing with persistent or overlapping concerns, particularly those involving movement, posture, breathing, and other interconnected physiological systems. The goal is to better understand contributing factors and develop practical recommendations, without promising a particular health outcome.
