1. Routine Health Services

Healthy Eating and Chronic Disease Management services have been the core of my practice since starting my private practice in 2008. Packages are available to support routine nutrition, specific clinical diagnoses, and chronic disease management. Whether you are looking to manage your weight or chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or fatty liver, I can help. I also specialized in Hormonal Health services for PCOS, menopause management, and hypothyroidism / Hashimoto’s disease.

Structure of all Routine Health Packages

BetterByDesign Nutrition structured services roadmap: Individual Meal Plan Design, Nutrition Education Session, and Follow-up visits.
Each Routine Health package has a different clinical focus, and the structure of services is built from standardized service components.
All Routine Health Packages follow a structured process:

  1. Comprehensive Clinical Assessment

  3. Nutrition Education Session
  4. Fourth Service (varies depending on specific package), support for sustainable success.


Dietary Management Package (follow-up package)

The Dietary Management Package is designed for clients who have completed a Routine Health Package within the past 3 months and are seeking continued support, accountability, or coaching. This flexible 3-hour package can be scheduled as six 30-minute check-ins, three 1-hour sessions, or a combination of both. Each package begins with a comprehensive review of your latest lab results and physical measurements (weight, waist, and hip circumference), alongside a detailed assessment of your progress relative to your personalized Meal Plan.

Questions and Answers

Q: If I want to eat better and lose some weight, but also have high cholesterol and higher blood sugar. Which package would be best for me?

A: The Comprehensive Dietary Package would be the place to get started. If you’d first like to meet with me to discuss your needs and I’m a good fit, then please book an Initial Consultation. Any remaining time in that appointment can be saved for a follow-up visit when taking a package.


Q: I have both IBS and want to lose weight. Where should I start?

A: Since your needs fall in both Routine Health and Digestive Health categories, I’d recommend taking an Initial Consultation so that we can meet and I can understand your specific needs. That way, I can recommend the best place to begin and whether services should be taken in tandem, sequentially, or, if at all possible, combined into a single package.


Q: Hypothyroidism runs in my family, and I think I may be moving in that direction. Can I take the Hypothyroid Management Package?

A: Absolutely! The Hypothyroid Management Package will enable me to work with you and your doctor or clinic to get tested, and the Hypothyroid Nutrition Session will help you to optimise your nutrient intake, which will support conversion of the inactive form of thyroid hormone (free T4) to the active one (free T3).
