Frequently asked questions
Short answers here. The full FAQ page has more, and your practitioner can go through anything else.
What is healthy ageing?
The World Health Organization describes healthy ageing as keeping the ability to do what you value in older age. Your consult looks at what that means for you.
Do I need to be unwell to book?
No. You can book while you feel well and talk through where your health is now with your practitioner.
Will I be prescribed anything?
Only if your practitioner decides it's clinically appropriate. A consult may end with advice on sleep, movement or food, more tests, a referral or no treatment.
Are blood tests part of it?
Only if your practitioner thinks blood tests would help. If they do, they explain why and go through what they show.
How often are check-ins?
It depends on your plan. Your practitioner sets a schedule with you and changes it as you go.
What does it cost?
You'll see the consultation fee before you book. If treatment is discussed, your practitioner explains those costs before anything starts.
