What happens in the first in-person consultation?

The first initial consultation takes about 90 minutes and consists of a review of your health history and your nutritional questionnaire, which I will send to you by email once your appointment is confirmed. If you have recent blood work done, please bring this to our appointment as well.
We will discuss your goals for the program, and then do a thorough analysis of your body’s reflexes, using Autonomic Response Testing to determine the root cause of your issue, as well as potential detoxification and nutritional remedies that will take care of the problem. You will get an easy to follow personalized detoxification and wellness program, and will have a better understanding of why you have these symptoms in the first place and what you can do to improve your health.

What do I need to bring for my first in-person consultation?

Please bring the filled out nutritional questionnaire that I will send to you by email once our appointment is confirmed. Bring any supplements that you are currently taking with you. We will test if they are compatible with your body’s biochemistry. Also, please refrain from drinking coffee or alcohol right before the session.

What happens in the first phone consultation?

In the initial phone consultation, we will discuss your health goals as well as your current health challenges. We will address underlying nutritional deficiencies and possible toxins in your system. We will talk about how your  daily food choices affect your health and how you can avoid toxins in general.  I will also teach you about healthy eating and will design a nutritional and possible detoxification program for you, so you can take care of your health challenges.

What do I need to do prior to my first phone consultation?

Please send the Toxicity Questionnaire prior to our appointment to me, as well as a nutritional questionnaire, that I will send to you before our appointment. If you have questions about diet or any other health related questions, please write them down so you will remember to address them during our consultation.

When will I start feeling better?

Most people start feeling better after about 1-2 weeks into the program. However, it not only depends on the initial findings, but on how determined you are to stick to the recommendations. If you avoid eating the foods that are making you sick, you can expect quicker results than if you keep eating what is harming you.

How many follow up sessions do I need?

This depends entirely of the findings of the first session. If you are carrying a high toxin burden and you decide to do a detoxification program, it can take a few months for you to be completely cleared of toxins. In that case, follow up sessions are recommended every 2-3 weeks to monitor your progress and to make necessary adjustments to the program. If you are free of toxins, and want to improve your health or take care of a symptom that has been bothering you, follow up session are required every 3-4 weeks. Please note that this is just an estimate. Every-body is different and once you are tested, we will discuss this in detail.

What is the difference between a personalized detoxification program and the 21-day Purification program?

The personalized detoxification program involves first an analysis of your body’s reflexes to determine which toxins are in your body, and to find the best remedies that will take care of the problem. This program is highly individualized, and no program looks like the other. This program is easy to-do, and will not interrupt your schedule.

The 21-day purification program is a general cleanse that you can do up to twice a year. It is an excellent program that is scientifically proven to reduce the toxic burden of the body. It consists of whole food supplements, nutritious shakes and lots of vegetables and fruits to bring your body back in top shape.

Once I am on a detoxification program, will I have to starve myself?

No. Absolutely not. If you are on a personalized detoxification program, uttermost attention is placed on the fact that the program does not interrupt your daily schedule. Most likely, you will get a homeopathic detoxification remedy, taken twice a day, and whole food supplements, which you will take two or three times a day. You will also get a list of foods that you are sensitive to and that you need to avoid for best results. But again, the goal is here not to starve yourself, but to give your body all the nutrients it needs so you can eat yourself back to optimal health.

If you are doing the  21-day Purification program it is also not recommended to be hungry at any time.

Will I get nutritional advice?

Yes. We will discuss which foods are good for you, and which foods you need to avoid to start feeling better. We will discuss the nature of food cravings and what you can do to stop them, and anything else that you need to know to bring your body back to optimal health.

Will you prepare meals with me?

No, but I can give you recommendations on what to cook. If you want to work with a personal chef, I am happy to provide you with referrals.

If I want to lose weight, can you help me?

Yes. Many of my clients report loosing weight once they have started with a detoxification program. The reason for that is that toxins are stored in the fatty tissue, and if you are very toxic, your body will hold on to the fatty tissue to prevent the toxins from circulating in your system. With a good detoxification program, the toxins will be cleared without harming the body and with little to no side effects. Once the toxins start leaving your body, excess fat will naturally melt away since the body has no more reason to hold on to it. A food sensitivity (especially Gluten sensitivity), can also greatly contribute to weight gain. Once you stop eating foods that you are sensitive to, you will start loosing pound by pound. You will see, loosing weight is easier than you think it is.

Will I have to count calories if I want to loose weight?

No. All you need to do is eat the foods that are recommended for you, cut out foods that you are sensitive to, and stick with your detoxification program.

Can I purchase the recommended supplements from you?

Yes. Please note that I will have to order some of the nutritional supplements for you. Supplements are shipped to you via UPS and arrive within 2-3 business days.

Can I keep taking my own supplements?

Yes, if we have tested them and they are beneficial for you. In general, supplements that are made of whole foods test way better than synthetic supplements, since your body knows what to do with them.

What are whole food supplements?

Whole food supplements are way superior than conventional, synthetic supplements. They are like nature designed them, and this is the reason why they work. Not all supplements are created equal, and many of the synthetic supplements that are on the market today will do more harm than good. Please read this article from my blog to learn more about this important topic.

Why do I need to take supplements? Can I not just eat healthy?

Eating healthy, organic food is your foundation of good health. You are what you eat. But sadly, nowadays it is NOT enough to just eat healthy. The soil in where the food is grown is so depleted of nutrients that the food itself does not provide enough vitamins and minerals to keep your body in top shape. A (organic) potato for example, contains less than a third of it’s nutrients than it did just 20 years ago.

What are the fees?

The fee for the initial consultation is $150.- and takes 90 minutes.

Follow up sessions last 30 minutes and are $ 65.- per visit.

Please note that detox and nutritional remedies are not included in the price and can range from $50-$200 per month. Phone sessions are priced the same as in-person sessions.

How can I pay?

Please bring either cash or a check to your appointment. If you want to use your credit card, you can prepay the session using Paypal. Phone sessions can be paid via Paypal.

Do you take insurance?

Unfortunately, I can not take insurance. However, keep in mind that prevention of disease is the key to your health and that you will save thousands of dollars in health care bills if you start taking care of your body now.
