Health complaints are rarely isolated problems. A sign or symptom in one part of the body may be connected to an issue somewhere else in the body. For example, skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema are often linked to underlying gut inflammation. This is where Naturopathy differs from traditional medicine.
Your local GP is trained to treat or mask a symptom by prescribing medications, but they rarely address the root causes of the problem. Some of these causes may stem from what we eat and drink, how much we move, rest, sleep and how toxic we are.
When the root cause is identified through naturopathy, often many related symptoms will clear up without any particular focus on them. A naturopath helps to connect the dots and creates a path to good health and wellness.
A Naturopath offers customised health care by identifying the cause(s) of illness and/or chronic disease.
A naturopath will provide dietary and lifestyle recommendations to improve health and happiness. Clinical testing allows us to understand your body composition and track improvements in fluid retention, muscle mass, fat loss, biological age and nutritional deficiencies.
Naturopathic treatments may include dietary advice, nutritional supplementation, sleep-improvement techniques, stress management, weight loss, and other lifestyle modifications.
A naturopath’s focus is to encourage clients to stop fighting the symptoms of disease and instead address the underlying issue. By identifying reasons for imbalances in the body, we can work together to help restore health for the long term. Consultations take place in the clinic in a supportive and positive environment.
This depends on the individual and the duration of their condition, but often people respond quickly and can feel far more energised within days. For example, many clients on a detox program report a considerable improvement in their sleep cycle and energy levels after 4-5 days.
At your first appointment your health will be assessed and recommendations made for improvement. This may include setting short-term goals and condition-specific testing.
