Nutrition
The therapist will take a medical history, and usually the patient will complete a questionnaire on diet and lifestyle. If the therapist needs detailed information on the patients eating habits, the patients may need to keep a food diary. Diagnostic tests may be required to check for food allergies or nutritional deficiencies. The practitioner will recommend dietary changes and advise about any vitamin or mineral supplements that are needed. Treatment usually consists of an initial appointment lasting up to one hour, and a series of follow up consultations of shorter duration, so that the therapist can monitor progress and changes, and tweak the therapeutic diet as necessary.
