Discovery Vitality Assessment

I offer the Vitality Nutrition Assessment which is 30-40minutes and allows you to earn 5000 vitality points. You’ll get a report with advice and recommendations to take home with you. This assessment costs R290 which is fully claimable from Discovery Health.

PLEASE NOTE:   The VNA is not a full dietary consultation, it is an assessment designed by Discovery as part of their Vitality Rewards Program. It is a way to earn Vitality points. The assessment gives you an overview of your current health status and some general guidelines.
