Frequently Asked Questions

A consultation is a one hour face-to-face meeting with Denny in which you receive personalized health, lifestyle and life direction guidance. One of Denny’s assistants will be present to record the recommendations made so you can fully concentrate on what is being said and freely ask questions. Denny offers appointments for consultations in two settings: his home office in Philadelphia and, on designated days once a month, in New York City. If you are unable to meet Denny in Philadelphia or New York he will refer you to faculty and graduates of the Strengthening Health Institute closer to your home.

div> In advance of the health consultation you will be asked to complete a brief health needs assessment form. On this form there will be questions about your current health history, dietary and lifestyle practices, why you are seeking a consultation at this time and so forth. This information helps you and Denny begin the consultation with a clear, common understanding of your current health status and the needs you want addressed.

At the beginning of the consultation an assistant will greet you and take a photo of your face with an instamatic camera. During macrobiotic consultations, oriental facial diagnosis is utilized to help understand a person’s health condition. Photos enable both you and Denny to track your progress over time – you’ll be amazed at the information your face provides about your health and how your face visibly changes as your health improves! 

Denny will start the consultation by reviewing your health needs assessment form and talking with you about why you came for a consultation today. He will then assess your current health condition using oriental diagnosis by looking at your face, your hands and feet, Denny can develop a clear picture of the current status of your health. 

Denny will then provide you with a personalized health improvement plan. Denny will use as a guide a health consultation booklet containing the most important information about macrobiotics such as key lifestyle practices to follow on a daily basis to improve health, recommended foods, recipes, home remedies, and so forth. This booklet will serve as your guide to help you follow his recommendations at home.  In addition, Denny’s assistant will record his recommendations for you on clear, easy to follow forms which you also will take home. 

If a follow-up appointment is required, Denny will discuss this with you at the end of the consultation and, if you wish, another appointment may be scheduled at that time. Should you have questions after you leave, please call Denny’s office directly.

At each consultation you will receive:

• A detailed, 45 page health consultation booklet. Denny will walk through this booklet with you during the consultation and makes notes in sections that are particularly relevant to you. This booklet will be your most important resource when you go home and begin to implement your recommendations! The booklet contains a wealth of information including; key lifestyle practices that support strong health for everyone, recipes for important dishes and home remedies, a summary of the overall macrobiotic approach to eating and much, much more!

• A written record of the dietary and lifestyle recommendations Denny made for you. 

• Information about macrobiotic resources that are available such as educational programs, cooking classes, books, stores that sell macrobiotic specialty foods, etc.
