How do the online consultations work?

Telehealth consultations work the exact same as a face-to-face consultation. With the scales delivered to your home, you and your doctor will be able to understand your body composition, and talk confidentially about your individual results and goals.

PLEASE NOTE: You will only be eligible for a Medicare rebate for your Telehealth appointments, if you have had a face-to-face appointment with us in the last 12 months (as stipulated by the Australian Government). If not, you will be out of pocket our full fees. 

Program Overview

Step 1: Delivery of the body composition scales

To get started, we'll deliver the body composition scales to your home before your first Doctor's consultation so you and your doctor can understand your individual biometrics (body fat, visceral fat, and muscle mass, biological age) and your basal metabolic rate (the number of calories your body burns at rest). 

 Your body composition results will enable the Doctor to recommend a calorie intake per day for the Doctor prescribed weight loss meals that will help accelerate your results. 

You will also receive an email which sets out the steps you need to take before your first Doctor's consultation. You will also receive a step by step guide to using the scales, medical health results template (used by you to record your results from the scales), and healthy range chart (to understand your results).

This email will also ask you to download the Doctor’s Health & Weight Tracker APP (which can be found by searching “The Doctor’s Kitchen Australia” in the APP store). If you don’t have access to this, no problem, let our dedicated nursing staff know and we can arrange an alternative option for you to record your results.

Step 2: Your first Doctor's consultation

Your transformation starts at your first check in with your Doctor! 

At your first consult, the Doctor will:

- discuss your results from the body composition scales to help you understand your overall health (including weight, body fat %, body water %, muscle mass (kg), basal metabolic rate (BMR) (cal per day at rest), biological age, visceral fat rating, bone mass, and BMI)

- provide an initial health assessment and risk factors for chronic disease

- discuss how the Program will support your health and weight goals and any current chronic condition or health condition that you may have and how you are currently addressing with your treating GP, and the benefits of preventing these conditions from developing further

- recommend a calorie intake per day for your prescribed meals

Step 3: Your Doctor's Prescription

After your Doctor's consult, you will receive an email which includes the following information:

• your Doctor’s prescription for your calorie controlled meals
• your daily resistance training workout plan
• recipes and shopping lists for days without the meals
• how to access to the Doctor’s Health & Weight Tracker APP
• how to access to the Doc’s Blog (this will support you to stay focussed)

You must download the Doctor’s Health & Weight Tracker APP (found by searching “The Doctor’s Kitchen Australia”) from the APP store and enter the results that you discussed at your first Doctor’s consultation, unless you have arranged an alternative recording with our nursing team.

We recommend printing or saving your daily resistance training workout plan which you need to follow each day. This plan is tailored to your fitness level (beginner, intermediate or advanced) and designed to help you maintain your lean muscle mass and support your weight and health goals while you are participating in the Program.

Step 4: Delivery of your calorie controlled meals

The email that you receive following your first Doctor's consultation will give you a link and instructions to place an order for your Doctor prescribed meals through Lite n' Easy.

If you fall outside the reach of delivery of the prescribed meals, please contact us on info@thedoctorskitchen.com.au or on 0476 193 263.

Step 5: Your second Doctor's consultation (follow up)

One of our dedicated team will contact you to book you in for your second consultation with your Doctor. This will generally be  in your 3rd week after you have started the recommended meals. 

At this consultation, the Doctor will:
 
• review and discuss your updated health results from the body composition scales (which must be uploaded into the Doc’s APP by you)
• discuss your continued goals, progress, road blocks or any other issues that arise
• discuss any changes if necessary (i.e. prescribed meals / resistance training) to ensure that it continues to support your current chronic / health condition
• identify any other medical roadblocks like: mental specific health support services related referrals (i.e. if weight gain is related to anxiety or stress)

Step 6: Your final Doctor's consultation + reflection and achievement of goals!

Your final consultation with the Doctor will be at week 6. 

One of our dedicated team will contact you to book in your last consultation with your Doctor. At this consultation you will receive your final measurements and you will be able to compare your results from when you first started and discuss ongoing strategies that suit your lifestyle.

You will receive a Medical Award of Health Attainment as a record of your participation and to acknowledge your incredible commitment to the Doctor’s Kitchen Program and transformation to your health.

Even though you may have completed the program, you will continue to receive support in the way of with access to the Doctor’s Health & Weight Tracker APP to be able to allow you to continue to monitor your own health results from the scales, you can also access Doc Blogs, and recipes and shopping lists.

Our dedicated partner, Lite n’ Easy, have over 250+ delicious meals to make your journey a wholesome and flavoursome one!

If you live in a remote rural area that falls outside of the Lite n’ Easy delivery postcode, please let us know by emailing us on info@thedoctorskitchen.com.au.

What if I slip up on the program?

Remember: You Never Fail 

F.A.I.L means - First Attempt in Lifestyle-changes. 

The first step is to recognise that a slip up will happen at some stage in the process! It’s okay to slip up while you’re on the program, but the most important thing is to recognise that you have slipped up and remember why you started the program, to prevent it from happening again. 

Start afresh from your next meal and compensate by ensuring that you are following your daily resistance training workout plan and any additional exercise that you can fit in. If your slip ups become prolonged – we recommend reaching with the Doctor at the next consultation to discuss what options may be available to help further support you.

Is this a long term solution?

Throughout the Program doing it on your own for 2 days a week will help you make positive changes to your lifestyle, exercise and food habits. Doing it on your own for 2 days a week from the beginning, will help you keep the weight off long term and, in turn, improving your health benefits. This approach will assist in driving changes in patterns of eating to help you be the healthiest version of yourself.

How long should I be on the Program?

Depending on your weight loss and health goals depends on how long you want to continue on the program. We generally recommend the Doctor's prescribed weight loss meal program for 6 weeks. From the very first week you start putting into practice what you have been seeing, eating and living for 2 days a week to help make your changes permanent. This has significantly contributed to the success for our patients losing the fat and keeping it off long term.

How many Doctor's consultations will there be?

There are 3 Doctor's consultations. The initial consultation with the Doctor and then there will be the second consultation - which is 3 weeks after you have started the meals and the final consultation which will be at 6 weeks after you first started the meals.

What if I am not losing weight?

Having a plateau in your progress during a lifestyle change is a very common occurrence – so common you expect it happen at some stage in the program. If you're not getting your body in calorie deficit, you will not lose weight, so it is extremely important to follow your Doctor’s prescription for your meals to maximise your health goals. It is easy to underestimate how much to eat, so you may be eating more than you think – keeping a food diary can help identify these issues.

If you’re doing all the right things and following the Doctor’s orders and still not losing weight, that’s what our Doctors are here for. They are trained to help you though these situations - to help you reach your weight loss goals and get healthier. So, at your next check in with your Doctor, we recommend discussing this with them so that they can make the necessary changes to ensure that you are reaching your weight and health goals.  

Will the program help my current health condition or chronic disease?

The Doctor’s program is designed to support any underlying lifestyle-based health condition that you may have with the support and guidance of trained Doctors. If you have a lifestyle-based condition (diabetes, heart disease, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnoea, obesity, fatty liver, high blood pressure or cholesterol) our Doctors have the tools to help support your current health condition and to give you the best chance of success in transforming your health and improving your life.
