a few things before your Consult…

Please read through the FAQs below to make sure you know what to expect.

We want you to get the most out of working with us, so please come prepared for your consultation. This will help things run smoothly so we can make the most of our time together! So, here are what we love for you to provide to us ahead of your express prenatal supplement consultation with us:

  1. A copy of your blood work results from the last 6-12 months. Haven’t had any before then? Drop us an email at [email protected], and we can help point you in the right direction!
  2. A summary of your current supplements and medications (if any), including brand name, when you take them and how much of each you take.

    Photos are great! Email them through to [email protected]

We recommend providing as much information about your health as possible before your consultation so we can tailor our recommendations to your unique circumstances, and bloodwork can be particularly useful! Collate your pathology results from the last 6-12 months before your appointment and email them to us at [email protected]. 

Please email us after you are booked in and one of our practitioners will review your history and make suggestions for you to request from your doctor, please allow adequate time to see your doctor and arrange these tests so we have the results for the consultation, we require a *minimum* of 48 hours to reschedule your consult without a fee.

No, this consultation is designed only to discuss and create a plan for your fertility and pregnancy supplementation plan. If you’re looking for a supplementation plan AND nutrition advice including meal and snack ideas tailored to you, book in for our 2 hour, Fertility Nutrition Intensive consultation, to ensure you get the advice you need!

For this service, we allocate only 30 minutes to assess your prenatal supplement regime requirements; we cannot extend the consultation time if you wish to discuss any of your needs further as we are usually booked back-to-back with our clients. If you’re looking for a comprehensive nutrition assessment AND a bespoke supplementation plan, check out our Fertility Nutrition Intensive consult, where we can dive in deep on both with plenty of time for any of your questions to be answered!

Great question! We use a combination of key pieces of information to design our prenatal supplementation plans for you. 

  • Your medical history – some medical conditions may mean you need more or less of certain prenatal nutrients.
  • Your age – the sad reality is that as we get older, our fertility does decline. There is research about specific nutrients and supplements we can utilise to help with egg and embryo quality associated with age-related quality decline.
  • Your fertility history and goals. 
  • Your medications – some supplements and medications don’t mix, or may mean you need more of a certain nutrient in your plan!
  • Your diet – your dietary quality can impact our recommendations, as well as any dietary preferences and cultural needs – e.g. vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian, Halal, gluten-free, dairy-free, lactose-free or allergens.
  • Your body size – people in larger bodies require more of the key prenatal nutrients, so we need to assess whether there is an increased demand for critical nutrients like folate and vitamin D to support your reproductive health and fertility.
  • Your blood work – provides us insights regarding your nutritional status, alongside some general health parameters to help us customise your recommendations.

We take all these factors into account and your preferences and perspectives to provide a customised prenatal supplement plan recommendation for you!

We offer guidance on where you can purchase the supplements we recommend. After all, you can have the best supplement plan, but if you can’t access it to take them, it’s not so great after all then, right? We aim to make this experience as smooth and seamless for you, so we take the headache out of sourcing where you find all your products!

You need a few pieces to help get connected to your dietitian at The Dietologist:

  1. A laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone is preferred. A smartphone works too when you’re on the go!
  2. A reliable Wi-Fi or Internet Connection.
  3. A headset or earphones are preferable.
  4. You don’t need to have Zoom installed on your phone or laptop; however, it can make for a smoother experience for you!
  5. That’s it! Click the link in your appointment confirmation email a few minutes before your appointment begins.

We are here to help. If you have any issues with the above, please contact us via email at [email protected]

No. The consultation fee covers the expertise and knowledge of your dietitian and the design of your own bespoke plan and recommendations, which are emailed to you after your session, including where to purchase your products. Due to the individual nature of each supplementation plan, our fee does NOT cover any of the costs of purchasing the supplements or the ongoing costs of re-purchasing your products.

This service is sadly not covered by private health insurance or Medicare; this is an out-of-pocket service, but, we promise it’s worthwhile!
