Natural Medicine Consultation

A Naturopathic Consultation is holistic and assesses the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person. For example from a Western Medical Perspective you may be medically diagnosed with hypothyroidism however, from a Naturopathic Medical Perspective your diagnosis might be;

  • Decreased Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) due to "Functional Hypothyroid"
  • Poor breakdown of fats and increased visceral adiposity due to a "Sluggish Liver".
  • Excess cravings for carbohydrates due to “Insulin Resistance” and "Functional Hypoglycemia"
  • Long term stress leading to "Adrenal Exhaustion", cortisol spikes and resultant weight gain
  • Long term stress leading to “Nervous System Exhaustion” and emotional eating
  • Nutritional deficiencies of Iodine, EFAs, selenium
  • Excess Bioaccumulation of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as fluoride, aluminium and  BPA leading to a disruption of thyroid hormone production. 

Thus

Naturopathic Treatment Principles 

  • Tonify the thyroid to boost BMR
  • Improve insulin sensitivity
  • Balance blood sugar
  • Tonify the adrenal gland
  • Nourish the nervous system
  • Replace nutritional deficiencies
  • Treatment in the terms of dietary, lifestyle, supplement and herbal medicine recommendations are then derived from these treatment principles.

Addtional Protocols

Traditional Chinese Medicine

As an Acupuncturist, I will also diagnose your Pattern of Disharmony according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. In obesity, it may be for example Cold Damp accumulation due to Spleen Qi and Yang Deficiency. I will prescribe Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Chinese Dietary Therapy to treat your Pattern of Disharmony. Rather than prescribing Chinese Herbal Patent Formulas, I specialise in preparing Traditional Chinese Herbal Formulations in organic 1:1 high practitioner strength extract form 

Once I have confirmed a Naturopathic Diagnosis, I will then explain the Naturopathic Causes of your condition from a Naturopathic Perspective so that you will be motivated to remove these causes to the best of your ability and have a better chance for cure, depending also, on the strength of your Vital Force. As the "Stress-Less Naturopath" I tailor a Health Management Solution to suit your lifestyle.

I am trained in pharmacology, herbal and supplement contraindications and drug/nutrient, drug/herb interactions. I can prescribe safely if you are pregnant and breastfeeding or on medication. As a Herbalist and Nutritionist I specialise in matching the pharmacological actions of drugs with natural alternatives using compounds found in food and herbs. I will always give dietary advice and assess your diet for nutritional deficiencies.

Classical Homeopathy

As a classical homeopath I may also prescribe what are described as your constitutional remedy, an acute lesional remedy or drainage remedy.
