Frequently Asked Questions
DO YOU TAKE PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE?
We do not directly work with private health insurances. However you may want to check your policy details with your insurance as they may cover nutritional therapy. If that is the case, you will need to claim our fees back directly with your insurance.
HAVE YOU WORKED WITH SOMEONE WITH MY CONDITION BEFORE?
Whilst we understand why you are asking this question, and chances are we have worked with someone sharing the same diagnosis as yours, it is important to understand that we practice with the Functional Medicine model. What this means is that two people could be sharing the same diagnosis, but the underlying mechanisms and triggers contributing to their disease are different.
Unlike the conventional medicine approach, we look for the root cause(s) of what is causing illness and symptoms to reduce your symptoms and improve your overall health.
HOW LONG WILL I NEED YOUR SUPPORT FOR?
We get asked this question a lot and our answer is, it is hard to tell before we start. Symptoms are not the start of chronic disease.
Chronic diseases don't typically manifest suddenly; rather, they develop gradually over years, if not decades. Therefore, expecting to feel well and healthy within a matter of days or weeks would be unrealistic.
However, it's important to note that many individuals respond exceptionally well to even minor interventions, and most people do experience improvements in their symptoms within a few weeks or less. Naturally, your response will depend on various factors and your unique circumstances.
We offer a 3 and 6 month package. Based on our experience, we have observed an higher rate of success when engaging with our clients through a series of appointments over a period of time. This approach offers consistent contact, ongoing support, and fosters accountability to help our clients stay on track. At the end of your package, additional single consultations or a a follow up package can be added on as required.
Many of our long-term clients choose to check in with us every 6 to 12 months, when their physiology changes or if they require support during unexpected flare-ups.
WHAT ARE THE ADDITIONAL COSTS OUTSIDE OF THE PACKAGE FEES?
This varies from case to case. Please note that our package fees do not cover any testing or supplements.
If additional testing beyond what you may already have from your GP or specialist is needed, we will request your doctor to arrange these tests for us, provided they are available through the NHS at no cost to you. Alternatively, we might recommend functional tests that are exclusively offered by private laboratories. We may also suggest supplements as part of your treatment plan, and we will explain our reasons for considering them.
It's important to emphasise that we always take your financial situation into consideration, and there is absolutely no pressure for you to commit to additional expenses. We are experienced in working with individuals from various financial backgrounds and working within limited budgets.
Please note: We are unable to discuss tests and supplements via email or over the phone prior to your initial appointment and until we have taken a comprehensive history of your case.
DO I NEED TO BE REFERRED BY MY DOCTOR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
You do not need a referral and you are welcome to book your initial appointment with us via this website. We will ask you to share your existing test results and complete some forms prior to your appointment so we can familiarise ourselves with your case.
If you are unsure whether or not you should book an appointment with us, feel free to email us on hello@autoimmunecliniclondon.com and we will be happy to assist.
DO YOU OFFER SINGLE APPOINTMENTS?
At this present time we are offering a 3 and a 6 month package. We may in special circumstances offer a one off consultation and we would encourage you to contact us to discuss your needs. Please email hello@autoimmunecliniclondon.com to discuss further.
