How do I book an appointment via telehealth?

Call our care team on 1300614814, and they’ll book you in for your initial deep dive session. You’ll be given a unique telehealth meeting link for your practitioner which you can use to access the virtual meeting room to begin your session. All you need is a computer or phone, an internet connection, and somewhere quiet and comfortable to sit.

What can I expect during my initial deep dive consultation with Melbourne Functional Medicine?

At your initial deep dive consultation, your functional medicine specialist will spend three hours with you to delve into your health condition in detail. Your practitioner will begin by asking you questions about your health history, lifestyle habits, genetics, and other factors that impact your health issue during the first part of the session. During the second half of the session, your practitioner will organise all of the pieces of your health puzzle for you and explain what they mean so far, as well as what the initial strategy is going to be. They will also answer any queries you have at this time. As the session draws to a close, your health coach will come in and join you and your practitioner so that everyone understands your health plan and how it will be carried out. This way, they’ll know what assistance you’ll require right away, such as navigating functional tests or placing vitamin orders and can assist you from session one.
