Chronic Disease Management / Reversal Consultation
Treat the cause, not just the numbers.
It is estimated that 80% of chronic disease is due to a few simple daily habits, including being physically active, adhering to a healthful dietary pattern, not smoking, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.
But it is never too late to take control of your health, and chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol can often be reversed when the body is given the correct environment to heal.
Even conditions like asthma, eczema, psoriasis, endometriosis, PCOS, arthritis, premenstrual syndrome, osteoporosis, and more can be improved with personalised nutrition and exercise programs.
This consultation may be right for you if you:
Are living with a chronic disease.
You are motivated and ready to make changes to your lifestyle for a healthier you.
You want to try to reduce/eliminate the need for your chronic medication.
Want to better understand the root causes of your condition.
Common Concerns We Address:
Why is this happening?
Can lifestyle improve my condition?
Which habits are worsening my health?
Is reversal possible in my case?
Which lifestyle factors are playing the most important role for me?
Want sustainable lifestyle support alongside medical care.
What we explore during this consultation:
Root cause
We will look at the underlying factors causing and contributing to your chronic disease, instead of simply treating the symptoms or effects. This could be relating to your nutrition, weight, or other habits.
Sleep & Stress
Nutrition and movement form the foundation for disease management and reversal. But chronic stress and poor sleep can contribute significantly and affect our ability to implement nutrition and exercise interventions.
Nutrition
We will look at your current nutrition patterns and build a plan towards a more nutrient-dense, healthful way of eating to give your body the nutrients it needs to fight chronic disease.
Body Composition
We go beyond just a number on a scale and focus on optimising body composition, as fat and muscle have very different metabolic impacts on disease. We may recommend a Dexa body composition scan for you.
Exercise
We will look at your current exercise regime and goals, and ensure you are building sufficient strength and cardiovascular fitness to help you age well, with additional tweaks to maximise movement for your specific condition.
Biomarkers
Depending on your age, family history, and conditions, we will order blood tests to evaluate your health and biological age. Genetic testing may be added if there is a concern. Bone density and body composition can also be investigated if desired.
