Frequently Asked Questions

  • Both Hilary and Ross are CThA registered Allergy and Nutritional Therapists, and Kinesiologists. Both of our practitioners have received over 6 years of formal education and training in Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Nutrition, and Herbal Medicine. Ross most recently completed his training with the required 3 years of clinical experience in 2017, and has been treating clients in-person at the clinical practice in Gloucestershire ever since.

  • Every session will be unique to you as we need to acknowledge that everyone is different. That being said, the general overview and what we have noticed yields the best possible outcome from our clients feedback is to book an initial block of three sessions, spaced roughly 2 - 3 weeks apart. During the first session, which is 2 hours in length, we cover a lot ground .This is where we will talk through your health history to this point, and we can ask you questions to build up a picture of your current health, and what changes you are looking to achieve through working with us at The Hilary Newman Clinic. For this first session we also ask you to bring all chemical products that you are currently using, any medications and supplements, as well as a small sample of fur should you have any pets- we ask you to bring these to assess your external exposure to any stressors, and then look to see how we can reduce these.

    From then we will start with the muscle testing (kinesiology) portion- this will tell us what underlying parasites, bacteria’s, virus’, fungus, sporozoan, and chemicals are present and active in your body at this time, what that means in terms of your health, and what foods we will have you avoid for now and why, as well as what herbal remedies you will be taking to eliminate those same offenders.

    After the three initial appointments, it varies from client-to-client to how then to proceed. For some people the three sessions are enough to get to where they want to be. Often, those same people then may make a one off appointment once or twice a year, similar to an MOT, to maintain that level of wellness they’re rediscovering.

    For other clients they may want or need further care if their health issues are more historic and systemic, though this will be discussed with you during your third appointment and a plan made and agreed between you and your practitioner about the best way forward.

  • We use kinesiology (muscle testing) to give us the majority of our allergy and nutritional test results. This also minimises the need for expensive and invasive blood and stool testing. Through this method we can get real time feedback about any bacteria, parasites, viruses, fungi, or other environmental factors that may be affecting you, as well as testing intolerances or sensitivities to any and all foods.

  • Your happiness and confidence is our priority at HNC. For that very reason, we offer a free consultation chat to talk through your specific health journey to this point, what you’re looking to achieve going forward, and to hear how HNC would plan to help you get there.
    It is completely without charge and with no obligation or pressure whatsoever. The time is there to work together and see if Hilary Newman Clinic is a good fit for you.

    Another important point is that you are not alone in the time between the consultations- if you have any urgent or pressing questions, or want to discuss anything relating to your health, then we want to hear from you. You will not charged any additional fees because we want you to succeed. We are on your side.

  • This is a fantastic question, and like all great questions, the answer is complex and difficult to answer in any simple way.
    For new clients we book the three initial appointment block. This allows us to track your progress over the 7-10 weeks to see real and measurable progress.

    Of course, beyond that, it will depend on you in many ways. If you have had the specific health problems that you want to be free of for a long time, then it will undoubtedly take longer to get to the bottom of that. If the problem only occurred in the last 3 months, then it should be relatively quicker to resolve.

    Another thing to consider is how sincerely you can stick to the remedies and foods to avoid. There is sadly no magic pill that will fix everything- how willingly you follow the plan will play a massive part as to what level of results you get from the sessions - we expand on this more under the question, “What can I do to have the most effective results?”

    HNC can’t and won’t promise you a quick fix- that is simply not possible.
    What Hilary Newman Clinic can offer you is a true fix- one that will continue to benefit sustain you and your family for a lifetime.

  • Hilary Newman Clinic was founded and created to help as many people as possible, from every corner of the globe. We have taken the success of our in-person clinical practice to an online space to allow people to get the health they deserve, regardless of geography.

    That being said, there may be some limitations in sending certain herbs and supplements to some countries, however we promise to work tirelessly with you to find a solution, either by sourcing suppliers local to you or finding suitable delivery partners.

    Should you wish to discuss doing the sessions entirely remotely, please reach out to us by phone or email.

  • Unfortunately we cannot wave a magic wand and have you be well with little effort, we truly wish we could!
    In truth, the results will depend entirely on how stringently you can stay with the plan- the remedy course and the food lists are vital to getting to the root cause of your health issues, and providing a true fix that will last.

    We know that we are losing potential clients by being this honest, by not promising a quick and easy solution- but we don’t want anyone to spend their money thinking the treatment starts and ends with the appointment in person. The real treatment and healing happens entirely in the time in between.

  • Hilary Newman Clinic will not put you on any calorie restrictive diet of any kind. You will be given a list of foods that you can eat, and a list of foods that you cannot, however you are not limited in anyway to how much of the “good” foods list you can enjoy- and this is always a sizeable good list to start, growing exponentially as the sessions go on and you become stronger in yourself!

    Of course, if unexplained weight gain or help with your weight is a reason for starting with HNC, we will be happy to help you in this respect.

    We can also cater to any and all dietary restrictions without an issue, simply let your practitioner know during the initial consultation or via the health history form.

  • HNC is designed to holistically work alongside your current life. We look to employ only natural and non-invasive practices such as herbs, supplements, nutritional therapy and lifestyle changes to address the root causes of disease and promote optimal wellness and health.

    For this reason, you can and should continue to take any prescribed medication during the course of your health journey, until advised to do otherwise by your doctor or healthcare professional.

    Should coming off of prescribed medication be a goal of yours, we can work alongside your healthcare professions to do this in a sustainable and effective way.

    Hilary Newman Clinic is proudly integrative and complimentary and is not intended to be used as a sole alternative to medical advice.

  • Our full fee list can be seen on our Services page.

    Please note that, should you require any of the recommended remedies or supplements, these would be a separate cost, though you are very welcome to source these yourself should you wish.
    If you have any questions regarding the costs of the consultations, please contact us.

  • No, we do not and would not make recommendations for prescribed medications or any kind of controlled substances. Hilary Newman Clinic is about empowering the body to heal itself, by addressing root causes of issues, not suppressing with never-ending prescribed pharmaceuticals.

  • This is so important to know- you can contact us either my phone or email at any point in the interim time between your appointments, with as many questions as you would like to ask.
    We want everyone to succeed as much as they possibly can when starting at the Hilary Newman Clinic, so for that reason we want to be there for you when you are uncertain, not just when you are in our clinic.

    You will not charged any additional fees either as we want you to do well and feel well.

    Both of our practitioners are usually fully booked during the day, however they do carve out time at the end of each day to get back to every person that has any interim questions. For this reason it may take them a small amount of time to get back to you but he will be in touch as soon as he can.
    Should you have any emergency medical need you should not wait, dial emergency medical services for the country you are in.
