Naturopathy​
Nutritional therapy uses diet and nutrition to support the body’s healing process and improve overall wellness. It involves assessing your dietary habits, health status, and lifestyle to create personalised nutrition plans that address specific health issues or nutrient deficiencies to balance the body’s systems, and promote long-term health by recommending whole foods and supplements tailored to your needs. Getting the diet right is key to improving your health!
Herbal medicine is the use of plants and plant extracts to treat health conditions. It draws on traditional knowledge of herbs, roots, seeds, and leaves, which contain active compounds that have therapeutic effects. Herbal remedies are used to support the body’s natural healing processes and address specific ailments such as like digestive issues, stress, or inflammation. I prescribe herbal medicines as tinctures, capsules, powders, teas and topical applications as part of your treatment plan.
Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on supporting and stimulating the body's natural healing abilities. We aim to identify and address the root causes of illness rather than merely treating symptoms. Naturopathy emphasises individualised care, taking into account the unique needs and circumstances of each person. We employ a range of techniques, including nutrition, herbal medicine, lab tests, environmental factors, lifestyle modifications, mind-body techniques, to promote wellness and prevent disease.
Much of the chronic illness of today can be attributed to the way we live. Along with high levels of toxicity and sky rocketing stress levels, never before have so many people consumed a diet which is so adulterated and devoid of nutrients. It is not enough to simply prescribe medicines, whether pharmaceutical or natural. Environmental factors must be addressed. Chemicals, EMFs, molds, microplastics, pollutants of all kinds are all around us in the air, in our skin care products, in our foods, in our homes and cleaning products, in our water supply.
Functional medicine is a personalised, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. It integrates both conventional medicine and alternative therapies, taking into account the individual’s genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment. Functional medicine practitioners emphasise the importance of diet, nutrition, and overall lifestyle in promoting health, aiming to restore balance within the body’s systems. By understanding how various factors interact and contribute to illness, functional medicine seeks to support long-term wellness and prevent chronic conditions. Lab tests are key to addressing the root cause with functional medicine.
