Plant-Based Nutrition Consultation
Thrive on a well-planned, plant-based diet.
What do the the longest living people in the Blue Zones all have in common? They eat mostly plants! Plant-based and plant-predominant diets have been consistently shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, and many more.
Whether you are transitioning towards a more plant-based way of eating or already following a plant-based diet, this consultation helps ensure your nutrition is balanced, practical, and optimised to support long-term health.
This consultation may be right for you if you:
Want to transition towards a more plant-based diet.
Follow a vegetarian or vegan diet and want comprehensive blood tests to optimise your overall health and longevity.
Want to ensure you are meeting key nutrient requirements on a plant-based diet.
Want to improve your biomarkers or overall health through plant-based nutrition.
Don't know where to start when it comes to a healthy, plant-based diet.
Common Concerns We Address:
How do I transition to a plant-based diet in a sustainable way?
Am I getting enough protein?
Am I getting enough micronutrients?
How can I optimise my diet for energy, performance, or longevity?
How can I increase my fiber without feeling bloated and gassy?
What we explore during this consultation:
Nutrition quality
We will look at your overall diet quality, food variety, and fiber intake, to ensure you are eating the right amount and sources of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and fiber.
Lifestyle
Because our health is multifactorial, and not dependent only on what we eat, we will also look at your other habits, like exercise, sleep, and alcohol consumption, to ensure the rest of your lifestyle is also optimised for health and longevity.
Micronutrient Adequacy
We will assess your diet to ensure you are consuming sufficient key nutrients of a plant-based diet, such as vitamin B12, iron, iodine, calcium, zinc, omega-3 fats, and vitamin D.
Biomarkers
Depending on your age, family history, and conditions, we will order blood tests to evaluate your health and screen for chronic disease and micronutrient deficiencies.
Social situations
It's easy to maintain healthy habits when you're at home. But during these consultations, we will explore challenges like meal planning, eating out, traveling, and more, while staying on track.
Body Composition
Many people start following a plant-based diet to lose weight, for which it can be very effective. We will also focus on not only weight loss, but improved overall body composition.
