Step by Step

There are four steps to improving your health.

Step 1: Before your first appointment with Helen, we invite you to do the following two things:


A. Learn about the big picture of how to get healthy by listening to the "Welcome to Options Health Center CD" (7 minutes)and by watching Helen Cox being interviewed by Sandy Gallant on supplements. (2 minutes)

B. Download, print and fill out the required forms before the first appointment with Helen*:
Client Statement (5 minutes)
Symptom Survey Form Prioritizes body systems that need support and cleansing (10 minutes)
Nutritional and Health History Questionnaire Determines patterns of signs and symptoms. (15 minutes)
Privacy Notice(5 minutes - read only)
Consent Notice(5 minutes)
TMA Submittal Form (patient information and predominant symptoms only)

*You may come to Options prior to your appointment to pick up a health folder for all of the materials you need.

Step 2: At First Appointment
During appointment with Helen the following may occur:
• Review of nutritional health history
• Iris reading (Video link here)
• Zinc taste test
• pH testing
• Review of results of symptom survey form
• Recommendation of supplements
• Nutritional advice
• Hair cut for hair analysis (do not color or perm hair before coming to the first appointment.)
•Testing of water sample (if brought)

• Borrow any desired Options' library items

A small sample of hair is sent to a lab for evaluation of the person's mineral levels. This test can detect mineral imbalances, deficiencies, and excesses. Significant information determined by hair analysis includes a person's metabolism, vitamins and minerals for supplementation, and recommendations of what foods to eat and to avoid. If you have questions about what Trace Mineral Analyses (TMAs) are about, you might find these Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Hair Analysis and TMAs interesting and informative.
