Functional Women's Health & Fertility
what is functional medicine?
"As a catalyst in the transformation of healthcare, functional medicine takes a comprehensive, whole health approach to prevention, health, and well-being; treats root causes of disease; and restores healthy function through a personalized patient experience — all while being a vital partner to conventional medicine." - Institute of functional medicine
Yolandi Rademeyer
CMP LM, R.D(S.A) in functional medicine.
As conventional Dietitians we usually run a practice that allows for an initial consult for 45 minutes to maybe an hour that you get charged for by the hour, and then schedule follow up consults once a month thereafter to check-in, with little to no contact in between.
But as a dietitian in functional medicine, also being a midwife, my practice is based on continuity of care and works a little differently.
​
I run a virtual practice for the convenience of flexibility. both for you and for me as my birth schedule never seems to fit within a schedule.
​
I am available for once off consults to answer questions or interpret labs, but my focus is on one-on-one in-depth therapeutic programs with women.
​
In my fertility awareness training and medical nutrition plans I start with a 3-month subscription that allows for an unlimited timed consult in all three of those months. In addition to our consults, I also allow for texts or emails throughout the month to support you where needed.
In the first three months, we work to uncover the underlying roots of the issue that you are experiencing. This often includes learning how to track your cycle and your hormones with basal body temperature and getting important labs done to create a therapeutic nutrition plan personalized to your needs and your health goals.
After our initial 3 months, we reassess and either go deeper if needed or you change over to a month to month subscription for continued support, that can be cancelled at any time.
