6-Month Root Cause Programme

1. Comprehensive Root Cause Assessment  &  Questionnaire

A detailed review of your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and current approach.

This allows us to move beyond isolated symptoms and identify patterns and underlying drivers that may otherwise be missed.

2. Functional Medicine Practitioner Health Analysis

Your health and journey is interpreted through a functional medicine and naturopathic lens to identify:

• Likely root causes

• Contributing factors

• Interactions between systems (e.g. gut, immune, inflammatory pathways)

This is where your health story is properly understood as a whole, rather than in fragments.

3. Initial Deep-Dive Consultation & Testing Plan (90 minutes)

Your first 90‑minute consultation brings everything together and sets the direction for the programme.

In this session we will:

• Walk through your story, symptoms, exposures, and priorities in detail

• Explore likely root‑cause patterns and how different systems may be interacting

• Discuss and agree targeted testing recommendations (if appropriate), including pros, cons, and priorities

• Begin your Foundations Plan (core nutrition, lifestyle, nervous system, and environmental strategies)

You leave this consultation with greater clarity on what may be driving your symptoms, what we are going to explore in more depth, and a realistic first‑phase plan to begin working with straight away.

4. Test Interpretation & Root Cause Mapping (if undertaken)

If testing is carried out, results are reviewed in the context of your full health picture, not in isolation.

This allows for deeper, more accurate interpretation and more precise recommendations.

5. Results & Strategy Consultation (60 minutes)

Once your assessment and any relevant test results are available, we meet again for a dedicated 60‑minute session to:

• Talk through your results and overall root‑cause picture in clear, understandable language

• Connect the dots between your symptoms, history, environment, and any test findings

• Walk through your functional medicine strategy recommendations, allowing for your feedback at this point to ensure they fit into your life, your preferences, and capacity

• Prioritise where to focus first, and what can wait

Your main written plan is created after this consultation so that it accurately reflects both your clinical picture and what feels realistic for you.

6. Personalised Health Strategy Report

A structured, individualised written plan designed specifically for you and your situation.

This includes:

• Nutrition guidance

• Lifestyle strategies

• Supplement recommendations (unless inappropriate)

• A phased roadmap for the first part of your 6‑month programme

The aim is to give you a plan that is clear, realistic, and effective, not overwhelming.

7. Monthly Symptom & Progress Tracking

Throughout the 6 months, you will complete a simple monthly symptom and progress tracker.

This allows us to:

• Monitor changes objectively over time

• Identify what is working (and what may not be)

• Adjust your plan where clinically appropriate, rather than relying on guesswork

8. Mid‑Programme Review & Revised Plan Consultation (60 minutes)

Around the halfway point of your programme, you will have a 60‑minute mid‑programme review consultation.

This is designed to:

• Take a step back and look at your progress so far

• Clarify what feels helpful, what feels difficult, and what may need changing

• Decide which elements of your plan to continue, simplify, or adjust

• Refine the focus for the final phase of your programme

After this consultation, your plan is updated and you receive a concise Months 5 & 6 Revised Plan, so you have clear guidance for the final stretch.

9. Outcome & End‑of‑Programme Review

At the end of your 6‑month programme, you will complete a final questionnaire to assess your progress and overall response.

This provides a clear review of changes in your symptoms and helps to define your next steps moving forward.

10. Final Consolidation Consultation (60 minutes) & Outcome Summary

Your final 60‑minute consultation is focused on consolidating what you have achieved and planning ahead.

In this session we will:

• Review your progress over the programme as a whole symptoms

• Identify which interventions and strategies have been most helpful for you

• Clarify the key drivers that appear most important in your case

• Create a personalised maintenance and relapse‑prevention plan for the months ahead

After this consultation, you will receive a brief Final Outcome & Next‑Steps Summary, outlining:

• The main changes observed

• The core elements of your ongoing plan

• Maintenance recommendations

• Options for further or lighter‑touch support, if appropriate

By the end of the programme, you will have:

• A clearer understanding of what has been driving your symptoms

• A structured and personalised approach to your health

• Greater confidence in how to manage your health moving forward

• Reduced reliance on guesswork or conflicting advice

• Likely root causes

• Contributing factors

• Interactions between systems (e.g. gut, immune, inflammatory pathways)
