Who do you work with?
As my practice is phone based, I get to work with women all over the world which allows for coaching to be private and intimate. Many of my clients are looking for a sense of peace but aren’t sure how to access their inner happiness. Many have common health niggles that are interfering with their lives and leave them feeling less than well most of the time. All these symptoms and many more are related to Adrenal Fatigue.
The Balanced Life Systems are also ideal for busy, stressed out executives whose health is beginning to interfere in their performance and impact their lifestyle; again a major source of Adrenal Fatigue.
The Balanced Life Systems are designed for clients who value their long term health – and who are prepared to invest time, effort and money in achieving or recovering it.
Do we meet face-to-face?
The nature of the tests and the Balanced Life Systems means that it is not necessary for us to meet face-to-face with most consultations carried out on the phone.
Do I need to go to a doctor for the tests?
No, the lab tests can be carried out in the privacy of your own home.
What type of tests do you use? Saliva, Blood, Urine?
All of the Adrenal Fatigue programs require a saliva sample taken over a period of 24 hours.
We may conduct additional lab tests whereby you will be required to collect samples of urine and/or stool in addition to saliva. Each case is unique and depends on the severity of your case and your commitment to healing.
How do the lab tests work?
- Everything you need to perform the tests is delivered in a kit by mail.
- You will receive detailed instructions to guide you through performing each test.
- Once complete, you simply send your lab kit back to the specified address.
- Your lab results will then be sent to me and I will be in contact with you to arrange your consultation.
Who analyses the lab results?
Specialist facilities in the US analyses all lab tests and provides the results for practitioners and clients. This facility is a state of the art, leading organisation in the field of health and wellbeing, focusing on healing by natural means and specifically-developed supplements rather than by synthetic drugs.
Please note: All results are confidential. The Lab Tests that I use and the companies with which I am a registered practitioner are:
Do I need to use the test kits you provide?
We use highly specialized laboratories that provide services to patients nationwide. We send the kits to you, and they are returned to the lab company by you. These labs are used exclusively by alternative medicine providers. Local lab companies do not carry the types of tests that are used here. It is highly recommended that you use the kits provided by A Balanced Life.
Are you qualified to prescribe these tests?
Absolutely. I have undertaken specialised, extensive training in the field of functional medicine – trained by a highly experienced, well-recognised leader in his field, Dr. Daniel Kalish.
I have a BSc. (Hons) in Health Sciences and am also presently studying for my Masters of Science in Holistic Nutrition offered by Hawthorn University in California.
In addition, I am a qualified Holistic Lifestyle and Exercise Coach trained by the CHEK Institute in San Diego. This Institute is highly regarded in the field of holistic health.
This training has qualified me to work with clients who would like to pursue a healthier life through the use of natural supplements and holistic health techniques rather than through a one-size-fits-all approach which uses artificial and synthetic drugs to hide symptoms rather than resolve the root cause.
I’ve got my lab results, now what?
- Once you’ve received your lab results, we’ll schedule a consultation to discuss what they mean and what they tell you.
- If you are doing more than one test, we will wait until we receive the results of all of your tests, then notify you to schedule a consultation.
- Following this, I will create a complete personal program for you which we will review in your following consultation depending on which Level program you are enrolled.
- You will then be clear on exactly what actions you need to take to re-balance your body and begin to make progress and improvements to beat adrenal fatigue.
- For additional support, we can schedule follow-up consultations to ensure you’re achieving results and making progress.
Do you accept insurance?
No, we do not do any insurance billing. Because we do not bill insurance companies, it is up to each individual to determine it their insurance plan provides coverage for Samantha’s services.
How much do the supplements cost?
Depending upon the results of your lab tests and the severity and/or number of symptoms, I may recommend that you include a number of supplements to your diet in your program. These range in price depending on the severity of your symptoms.
I will inform you of the total cost required for your program before you decide to purchase them.
Can I purchase the supplements recommended from my local health food store?
As part of your program, Samantha may recommend that you purchase nutritional supplements. These may include specific vitamins, minerals, herbs and natural plant based hormones. All of the supplements Samantha recommends are from nutrition companies that only sell their products to health care professionals. These are the highest quality products available. They contain the purest pharmaceutical grade nutrients (nutraceuticals) and the potency of each product is guaranteed.
In an effort to save money, many doctors have suggested that patients purchase products at local health food stores. While this seems to save people money in the short run, the resutls fo these programs have been inconsistent and less than would be expected had practitioner – only brands been used. Therefore, it is in many ways more sensible both financially and in terms of consistent results to use the highest quality products available.
We suggest you purchase most of your products directly from us, so you can be rest assured of consistent results. In this way, if a specific protocol is not working we will know it is not the quality or potency of the nutrients that is slowing the healing process. All of the supplements we use have been proven clinically effective by hundreds of naturally oriented health professionals. They have been shown to help resolve patients’ health concerns with predictable outcomes.
How long will it take before I notice results?
This will depend upon a number of key things, including:
- How unbalanced your body is to begin with
- What Stage of Adrenal Fatigue you have
- How closely you follow the System
- Whether you use the recommended supplements
It is important to understand that healing and balancing your body through natural methods often takes longer than the quick fix, temporary solutions provided by synthetic drugs.
Your body may have taken years of abuse and poor lifestyle choices – it will not heal itself in weeks and often requires up to 12 months before you notice that all your symptoms have improved.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
Based on the holistic approach and scientific understanding of the human body and how it works, functional medicine (the discipline that underpins the Balanced Life Systems) is known to be one of the most effective methods to achieve total body wellness and recovery from chronic and long term health problems.
I am confident therefore, that as long as you follow and complete the System, it will work for you. In the instance that it doesn’t, then I am happy to offer you a full refund of your investment.
I’d like to get started now, what do I do?
If you are ready to begin your Balanced Life System, do get in touch or book your initial appointment using my online diary here. If you’re not sure which system is for you, contact me and I’ll be happy to discuss this with you before you make a decision to go ahead.
