The correct diet is the first and most fundamental step in the healing process, for healthy weight and maintaining optimal health. Finding your Food Fit to over 600 common foods and household products is the initial step. If you have tried elimination diets before you will know how hard it is to pinpoint the reactive foods.
What to expect from Food Fit
Firstly, a hair sample will be taken at your first consultation and sent off for Food Fit assessment. The results are returned within 5 to7 working days and a second appointment will be arranged to discuss findings.
Based on the results, Jeff will develop an eating plan to suit you. Food intolerances will be considered, and the use of therapeutic foods discussed, as well as the possible prescription of natural medicines to assist your health.
A third appointment takes place 4 weeks after commencing your Food Fit program, in which your symptoms and the treatment protocol is reviewed and discussed.
Long distance patients
Although we recommend visiting in person, alternatives are available.
- If you are having to travel some distance to one of our locations, you can arrange to have your compatibility done beforehand, your first and second appointments can then be combined into one extended appointment.

How do food sensitivities cause these problems?
Food sensitivities cause the immune system to become overactive and produce excessive amounts of inflammatory mediators like histamine. Most medical practitioners do not understand that these inflammatory mediators can migrate to any area of the body causing inflammation in glands, joints, muscles, tendons, mucous membranes, digestive tract and skin and are the cause of many serious health problems. Once this inflammation accumulates in a certain area, we give that inflamed area a name. In the joints, for example, it is called arthritis. In the respiratory tract it may be sinus, asthma and excess mucous. In the nervous system it can be headaches, migraines, depression, tiredness and ADHD. In the skin it can be rashes, eczema, psoriasis and hives.
