What Can You Expect From Your Nutrition Appointment?
We always start with in-depth health and nutrition questionnaire completed in advance of your first visit.
Your initial consultation typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes and includes:
- A discussion of your symptoms
- Current and past treatments
- Current health concerns
- Diagnosis(es)
- Family history
- Levels of physical activity and dietary patterns
- Lifestyle, including sleep and stress
- Medical history of past events
- Use of medication and supplements
This provides an initial clinical impression for the practitioner.
Digital Feedback
On becoming a Irrefutable Health Practice Member, you will continually be tracked with a BIA (bio impedance analysis – an internal cell counter and compartment measuring system), anthropometric and health measures to be able to give you your scores and summaries of your improvement.
Testing and Assessment
We need to know your goals and will go on to organise any required follow-up appointments or testing (15 to 60 minutes, case-dependent). These may include the use of a wide range of tools to confirm the clinical impression from your consultation through evaluations or tests, all driven by your individual needs: the structural integrity of your cell membranes to your body’s frame, toxin exposure, your detoxification or biotransformation abilities for toxin and metabolic byproduct clearing, your hormone or neurotransmitter regulation, immune communication, neuro-function, inflammatory predilection and processes, gut reactivity and complexity of your microbiome, your gut function, how you digest and absorb nutrients, eliminate waste or evidence of an infection. The impact these factors have on your energy regulation or mitochondrial function influences if you will heal or not. Your presentation and goals will dictate which environmental area is brought to the forefront: your sleep and relaxation, your exercise and movement patterns your history of exposure to physical trauma, pollutants and micro-organisms and your hydration and nutritional intake, which support good function or throws you out of balance. In addition, we are prepared to look to your mental, emotional and spiritual influences.

BlueSky Connexions Community Classes
Personally or through BlueSky Connexions (BSC), we will suggest ways to reduce your stress, improve your resilience, deepen relationships, improve your networks and change your lifestyle – all very tough things to do. Alone, it is so easy to gravitate back to what you did before. OUR SOLUTION is BLUESKY CONNEXIONS – we have a team to support you.
You will be invited to participate in the BLUESKY CONNEXIONS events, block classes, teaching or coaching sessions most specific to your issues. You do not have to figure out all of this alone. People in communities get well and, more importantly, stay well – supporting each other. Someone will be there if you weaken your resolve. Lifestyle change is done best in the company of another.
Specific invitations to classes integral to your care will be sent to you through your Practice Member Portal. You will be strongly advised to confirm and attend these sessions. A seat will be held for you until the initial session. All other events and their availability will be listed on the BSC website, and you are encouraged to sign up to attend those that you find interesting, invite others to attend these events or have them sign up and come with you to your specific invitational classes.
