Your Nutrition Consult

As part of your initial 50 minute consult you would be provided with:

• Dietary assessment

• Appropriate nutrition education

• Personalised nutrition plan to assist you with meeting the goals we discuss

• Your nutrition plan includes suggested portion sizes, meal and snack options, training nutrition guidelines, healthy takeaways and any other info you require to help keep on track. We monitor body composition, weight and skinfolds, if appropriate, as part of the process too

Our review consults are between 20 to 30 minutes and we charge accordingly. During these consults we:

• Discuss any questions from your plan and information we sent through

• Review current intake and discuss additional nutrition strategies to assist with meeting your nutrition goals.

• Review body composition if required.

• Provide additional information such as update plan if required, or provide a carb loading plan to trial for an upcoming event.

• To provide a clear diagnosis and plan for recovery and return to work / sport or function

• Second opinion for chronic cases that haven’t progressed appropriately within evidence-based expectations

• Provide expert opinion on surgical vs non-surgical management for clients unsure of which pathway to undertake. Chris works closely with many Orthopaedic surgeons making it easier to communicate with all parties regarding management planning and prognosis expectations

• Identification of client barriers to successful recovery and rehabilitation, assisting in motivational and empowering strategies
