What happens after I submit a contact request?One of our doctors will look through your enquiry and contact you via phone or email (whichever you prefer) usually within 48 hours.
-
How much of a time commitment is the PHY360 program?The PHY360 programme takes 3-4 hours in total and is normally done over 2 days. You will need to attend in person for blood tests and body composition measurements which the doctor will want you to fast for.
-
What can I expect to gain from doing the PHY360?Your PHY360 will be a comprehensive review of your baseline physical and mental health. We will provide you with a tailored assessment of your health and provide you with practical guidance on how your current nutrition and exercise habits can be improved.
-
What happens after my PHY360?You will be sent a PHY Report which includes all of your results and your suggested interventions (including a weekly meal plan). Your mentor will then contact you after 4-6 weeks to see how you are getting on.
-
Can the programme be done remotely?The initial PHY360 needs to be done in person. After that consultations can be done virtually if both you and the healthcare team are happy.
-
I have my own personal trainer, can I continue to work with her/him? "Yes. We work with a range of gyms and personal trainers and our aim is to make things as convenient as possible for you.
-
Can I personalise my program?All your programmes will be tailored to your wants and needs. Our PHY360 will collect all the necessary information we need to tailor your programme.
-
Would you work with my current doctors if I have a pre-existing medical condition?Yes. Our aim at PHYCORE is to help you and your doctor improve your medical health by using exercise, nutrition and psychological support.
-
Will my private insurance cover PHYCORE's services?We always ask you to check with your insurer. Depending on your premium ‘part’ of PHY360 may be included in a wellman/wellwoman check-up. Blood tests and the consultation with our doctor can often be reimbursed but we advise you to check with your insurer prior to completing a PHY360 so there are no surprises!
