Who (and What) Does Cherry Lam Treat?

Cherry can help you with the following areas and health concerns:

In your nutrition consultations, Cherry will enquire about your diet pattern, medical history, lifestyle habits, barriers to a healthy diet, then provide nutrition advice and create a personal plan best suited for your needs. She will ensure these diet/ lifestyle changes are feasible for you.

What happens in the Initial Consultation?

In the 1-hour initial consultation, Cherry will gather detailed information about your typical day-to-day diet pattern, medical history, social history and lifestyle habits. She will investigate and address the root cause of your health issues, then work collaboratively with you to resolve any concerns.

Through comparing your personal nutrition requirements and your actual intake, she will provide diet-swaps and a non-restrictive meal plan suited to your needs.

Depending on your reason of visit, Cherry may ask you to keep track of your diet, weight, gut symptoms and mood changes and carry that information onto the Review Consultation if she considers this is necessary.

What happens in a Review Consultation?

In the 30-minute review consultation, Cherry will touch-base with you and check for diet progress, review changes you’ve made to your diet or lifestyle and celebrate your small wins and achievements! Review consultations also serve as an opportunity for you to ask any questions about your concerns, seek ongoing counselling and education from Cherry, or even ask about health information you saw on the internet that you’re unsure about.

As a general guideline, Cherry’s patients may return for Review Consultations once or twice over a 6 to 12 month period.

Private Health Insurance

If included in your extras you may be able to claim a portion of your consultation back. If you’re unsure give your Health fund provider a call and quote the item number ‘500’ and they will let you know if you can claim and exactly what you can get back.
