Consulting with me you should be aware of immense value I place on blood testing, as a vital tool to see what’s going on inside your body and what could be affecting your health, vitality and hair.
Some have blood tests checked with GP’s thinking everything is ‘normal’, but please remember their parameters and responses are vastly different to mine!
Most people don’t realise that laboratories set ranges according to 90% of the results they produce. The majority of people having blood tests are elderly or symptomatic, so they’re not even set according to what a healthy person should have. Not only this, but over the years I’ve observed them worsening the ranges as the general population gets older, sicker and poorer results. So you have to be one of the 10% of people outside of their range before they even put a !or * next to your result. For instance if a doctor says, “you have low iron” then you can take it that you have exceptionally low iron!
Hence they are looking to see do you have a major medical condition that needs treating, whereas I’m aiming to get you into optimal health and top nutritional status for quality and growth of hair.
Even with their ranges in mind I’ve also seen so many of my clients whose results were dramatically high or low, but their healthcare practitioner didn’t notice, this can only be because they are not even reading the results properly. So this is why I insist I actually see your readings and not just accept that you were told they were fine. Trust me it happens all the time!
I assure you though, that personally I do read them very carefully, because they mean so much to me and vital to getting the best hair outcomes for you.
With my special knowledgable interpretation I analyse them and give you answers.
I have the passion an ability with the experience of over 20 years in my own Trichology practice, in addition to over 30 years as a nurse practitioner in the NHS and GP practices.
This background coupled together with my nutritional studies and years of clinical experience has led me to set my own optimal reference range for you to achieve optimal health and vitality, thereby encourage maximum, natural hair growth. This range is vastly different from the standard and it really does work!
If you’re on other supplements additional to my M&O’s, e.g. Iron, vitamin D and / or vitamin B12 then I like to adjust your recommended dose according to up to date blood results and over time stabilising a individualised maintenance dose for you.
Note: I’ve found that most people need 1 capsule of vitamin D in addition to the 2,000 i.u. in the M&O’s, but sometimes you may need more. Not everyone needs iron, but some people may need up to 3 daily and doses need to be adjusted over time.
This is why it’s important to know your levels as things are ever changing, hence it’s important to keep regular follow ups and blood checks.
I recommend 6 monthly checks at first and when things are stabilising, reduced to yearly checks.
So if it’s been longer than a year since your last consultation (includes hair & scalp examination and blood checks) then please book one now!
Blood tests are expensive though, so I have only ever charged cost price, but unfortunately these prices have been rising along with everything else and we can not absorb the cost any more, so need to increase my follow up consultation fee to £350.
Despite what I said earlier, doctors tests can be useful though, so if you manage to provide me your own recent results the follow up fee, remains at only £250. I can still give you my interpretation.
Doctors are getting better at requesting the tests now, but you may need to contact my office for me to write them letter which I will do if you book a consultation.
Follow up consultation duration is 1 hour and includes comparing before and after photos, which we can do together or if you wish just leave to me to study them. I re-examine your hair & scalp and write you a comprehensive revised review and Treatment Plan which often takes me another couple of hours outside of our session.
Video consultations possible if you can’t attend in person.
M&O’s were developed as a foundation appropriate for anyone to take regardless of blood levels, so if you’re taking these then please continue.
If you haven’t tried them, then you’re really missing about as they are the most comprehensive multi-nutritional supplement, consistently produce amazing results with hair growth & condition and with the added benefit of extra energy and health benefits.
Even with the best planning in the world, it would be very difficult to eat all of the nutrients necessary in a single day! That is where my M&O’s comes in, a complete product in one box! It supplies all the vitamins, minerals, and omegas required to promote healthy hair growth, radiant skin & scalp, strong nails, increased energy, and more.
For a first consultation or follow up consultations which have lapsed 5 years or more the it will require more extensive testing and more consultation time too, so the fee is higher. Please see website or enquire for details.
