How much does an appointment cost?
An appointment is £95 and lasts 60 minutes, in clinic or online. In clinic it includes an InBody 270 body composition scan. Online, your health action plan and resources are sent to you afterwards. Follow-up reviews are 45 minutes, £85. All bookings are made online.
Where is the clinic?
My Root Cause Clinic is at Twelve08, Church Barn, Church Lane, Tickenham, between Clevedon and Nailsea, with parking right outside. I also see women online anywhere in the UK. How to find the Tickenham clinic.
What does the InBody scan involve?
The InBody 270 is a clinical body composition analyser. You stand on it barefoot and hold two handles for about 15 seconds. It measures your visceral fat level, skeletal muscle mass and body fat percentage, and estimates your metabolic rate. I read the results with you, alongside your history and symptoms. If you have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device, or you’re pregnant, we skip the scan. Read more about what the scan measures.
Can I see you online?
Yes. Online appointments are 60 minutes by video, £95, for women anywhere in the UK. You get the same questionnaire, the same time with me and a health action plan personalised to you. The InBody scan is the one part that needs you in the room.
How do I book?
All bookings are online. Use any booking button on this page. After you book, I’ll send you a health questionnaire so I can prepare before we meet.
What symptoms and conditions do you cover?
Perimenopause and menopause symptoms, fatigue and energy crashes, brain fog, migraines and recurrent headaches, joint pain and aches, rising blood pressure, blood glucose or pre-diabetes, weight changes, and gut symptoms including bloating and IBS. I look for what’s driving your symptoms.
Can you help with bloating and IBS?
Yes. Bloating, IBS and digestive discomfort are common reasons women come to see me. They often reflect changes in the gut microbiome, food sensitivities or stress, and I look at your gut symptoms as part of the whole picture. If bloating is new for you and you’ve had it on most days for three weeks or more, particularly if you’re over 50, please see your GP as well, so they can check it.
Is this right for me?
I’m a registered dietitian with a PhD, so I work on the metabolic and lifestyle side of how you feel: body composition, blood sugar, nutrition, movement, sleep and stress load. I don’t prescribe. If what you tell me points to something that should be investigated or treated medically, I’ll say so directly and suggest you see your GP or menopause doctor. Many women do best with both.
What do my scan results mean?
Your scan shows your visceral fat, muscle and body fat, which your scales can’t. I go through your numbers with you at your appointment, and I’ve written about what each one means in What your scales can’t tell you.
How soon will I feel a difference?
Some women notice a change in their energy, and in aches and pains, within days, once blood sugar starts to steady. Many feel a difference within the first couple of weeks. Changes on the scan, such as visceral fat, take longer and are easiest to track across a few appointments. I’ll talk you through a realistic timeline for your goals at your first appointment.
Will I see you every time?
Yes. Every appointment, in Tickenham or online, is with me, so each one builds on what I already know about your history and your plan.
