Treatment is unique to each individual and is dependant on the results of a comprehensive one-to-one assessment and consultation.

A health status check will be carried out. Personal details, height, weight, Body Mass Index, blood pressure and any abnormalities from the physical examination are recorded. Blood samples are taken for laboratory testing to measure cholesterol, thyroid hormones, fasting blood glucose and any other appropriate tests may be requested. Electrodermal testing and Live Blood Analysis are then performed on the patient. A home test kit utilizing saliva samples is provided, which can demonstrate imbalances in adrenal hormones.

Any medical concerns will be discussed and a realistic target weight agreed upon. Advice includes recommendations for dietary and lifestyle changes as well as for nutritional supplementation.
