An initial consultation is used to get to know you, do an InBody analysis body composition scan, assess your diet, gain any medical histories, assess any bloodwork (if relevant), exercise patterns, energy levels, bathroom habits ect. We look at goals you want to achieve and realistic steps to get there. Meal plans based on your goals are also discussed in the initial consultation but are not included in the price.

An initial consultation is used to obtain an full medical history as well as any current symptoms you may be experiencing, looking into medications and supplements, as well as a full dietary analysis. The time is then spent doing nutrition education and setting goals to achieve the results you are looking for. InBody analysis scans cannot be done virtually, but are recommended should you be located close to a facility that offers these scans.
