Frequently Asked Questions
Nutritional Therapy with Carla

How do I book an appointment?

You can book your consultation online by Clicking Here. Simply choose a time that works for you and Carla will confirm this availability.

​

Can I speak with Carla before booking a full consultation?

Yes, Carla offers a free 20-minute discovery call to help you identify the root of your health concerns and discuss how nutritional therapy could help. It’s a no-pressure way to ask questions and decide if you’re ready to move forward.

​

I have heart health issues, diabetes, reflux, or weight struggles. Can I work directly with Carla?

Yes. Carla specialises in heart health, type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, digestive issues (including reflux and bloating), and long-term weight loss. You can book directly with her.

 

How is Carla’s approach different from seeing a GP or dietitian?

Carla takes a root-cause, functional nutrition approach, focusing on how your body systems interact. Instead of generic advice, you'll receive a personalised plan based on your diet, lifestyle, symptoms, and when relevant, advanced testing like DNA analysis or blood work.

​

What if my doctor says my cholesterol or blood sugar is “borderline”? Should I still get help?

Absolutely. These early warning signs are when nutritional therapy is most effective. Carla can help you take proactive steps to avoid progression, reduce risk factors, and optimise your long-term health naturally.

​

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients begin with an initial consultation and then continue with 2–4 follow-ups over a few months, depending on your goals and health history. Carla will tailor a realistic plan for your needs.

​

Do you offer one-off consultations or packages?

Both options are available. One-off sessions can help with smaller concerns, while packages provide greater support, accountability, and better value if you're working on complex or long-term issues like blood sugar control, reflux, or weight loss.

​

Do you offer DNA testing?

Yes, Carla offers Lifecode Gx DNA testing, which provides deep insights into your genetic blueprint. This can reveal how your genes impact areas like detoxification, inflammation, blood sugar regulation, nutrient metabolism, and cardiovascular risk. It’s especially useful for creating personalised plans around heart health, weight, and blood sugar.

​

Can I work with Carla if I’m already on medication?

Yes. Carla regularly works alongside medical treatment. She does not replace your GP or specialist but provides nutrition and lifestyle support that may complement your current care. In some cases, this may even support your doctor in adjusting medication over time.

​

Are appointments face-to-face, on video or by phone?

Most sessions are held via secure video call, making it easy and flexible to attend from anywhere. In-person appointments may be available in select locations, please enquire if this is important to you.

​

Will I always work with Carla, or is there a team?

You’ll always work directly with Carla throughout your care. Continuity is a key part of building trust and getting great results.

​

Do you see international clients?

Yes, Carla works with clients across the UK, Europe, North America, and beyond. Please check time zones when booking. Testing availability may vary depending on your country.

​

How soon will I start noticing results?

Many clients report feeling better within 2–4 weeks, especially with improvements in energy, digestion, blood sugar stability, and mood. For more complex issues, longer-term change may take several months. Carla will work with you to set realistic expectations.

​

Do you offer private testing?

Yes. Carla uses advanced functional testing, including gut health, blood sugar, cholesterol, nutrient status, and DNA analysis. Testing is always optional and only recommended when it adds value to your case.

​

Should I book a consultation or start with a toolkit/program?

If you want tailored, one-to-one support, start with a consultation. If you’re looking to get started with general guidance, Carla also offers toolkits and structured programs for areas like reflux relief, blood sugar control, or sustainable weight loss. Many clients choose both over time.
