Welcome to the Functional Foundation Programme

Spring 2022

Our 10-week course is hosted by our Nutritional Therapist Team with assistance from Dr Sarah and aims to help you optimise your diet, support long term healthy behavioural change and build a solid foundation with lifestyle guidance for long-term well-being and health improvements.

Each week we will offer a video module and live coaching session with a small group to enable everyone to participate, contribute and learn in a safe, motivating and supportive setting. The live coaching sessions are designed to help you with practical implementation and trouble-shooting as well as to providing accountability, building team spirit and offering group support - all elements that have been shown to dramatically increase successful follow-through with making change.

Participation will be limited to 30 participants only on a ‘first come, first served basis.

All successful applicants to the course will receive:

A Free copy of the recipe book we will be using to support the course – Mickey Trescott’s ‘The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook’.
Access to the Functional Foundations Website with access to watch the videos and replays.
20% discount on selected supplements which we recommend to accompany the diet and lifestyle changes from our Nutritional Shop ‘My Functional Apothecary’ for the duration of the course.
Enrolment into the Private Facebook Group for weekly updates and support
Opportunity for 1:1 Nutritional Therapist Advice where necessary alongside the group sessions (at an extra cost)

Booking Criteria:

Please note this course is not suitable for the following patient groups:

Under 18’s
During Pregnancy and breast-Feeding
Vegetarian or Vegan patients (pescatarians can be catered for). We feel working with these patients is better catered to in a 1:1 setting. Should there be enough interest in a specific Vegan course in the future then this is something we would consider – do send us feedback if you wish.
Those with active eating disorders or BMI under 18. Again we prefer to work with more vulnerable patients in a 1:1 setting. If you have concerns about this then do call to discuss the issues with us 1^st.
Patients with multiple chemical sensitivities (for example severe histamine intolerance or known salicylate or oxalate sensitivity). The diet plan we are using is high in these chemicals and 1:1 setting is necessary to cater for these specific needs.

All participants will be required to complete a full medical history form on successful booking. This is so that we can understand your health needs better and make necessary adaptations for you if needed.

If we find there is a valid reason why the course is unsafe or inappropriate for your needs, then a full refund will be considered.

If you have any worries or concerns about whether the course is right for you then do contact the clinic team at consulting@drsarahdavies.co.uk
