Or, do you just want help with supplements?

Ever wished that you could get impartial advice on supplements from someone knowledgeable & qualified?

Advice from social media, chemist staff, personal trainers, Chat GPT, random strangers, friends/neighbours or, and sometimes even your doctor can be inaccurate, (particularly when recommending herbal medicines). Because, it’s not their field of expertise.

Herbs are different to pharmaceutical medicines. They have complex chemistry, they work differently, and are generally more gentle - BUT not always suitable for everyone. Just because it’s natural doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe - for you!

And, some vitamins and minerals can be harmful in the wrong amounts or for the wrong people. Like -

• Vitamin B6

• Vitamin A

• Iron

Have you ever taken too much, or the wrong form of magnesium and found yourself running to the toilet?

Others, are best taken at specific times.

Some medications deplete our natural stores of vital nutrients - such as:

• Metformin

• Statins

• Oral contraceptive pill

So, it’s important to compensate via diet or supplements.

Most advice given is ‘one-size-fits-all’ and yet we are all different. So, how can that be right?

What is right for someone else might be very wrong for you!

Then, there’s the ‘it’s all just expensive urine’ narrative (often said by those who haven’t studied them) which may be true if you’re taking the wrong thing, wrong form, at the wrong time or in the wrong dosage!

And some supplements CAN mess with pharmaceutical medications! They can increase, decrease or delay the amount of your medicine in the bloodstream.

This can be dangerous!

And, if all that wasn’t enough NOT all probiotics are the same!

Are you taking the correct strain for a specific purpose - can it pass through stomach acid and down to the colon where it’s needed?

If, only…. there was someone who -

• holds a Health Science degree, and…

• has deep/broad knowledge of the actions, indications and cautions of a wide range of herbal medicines

• studied clinical nutrition (vitamins, minerals and the nutritional biochemistry of the human body).

• can advise where food as medicine might be a better alternative

• doesn’t have a vested interest ($$) in any particular product, company or agenda (i.e. protocols)

• treats the body holistically - like all of the parts interact with each other, and you’re an individual!

• can advise which supplements in your cupboard are keepers, and which you should throw in the bin (and save some money $$$)

• can advise which might be affecting your pharmaceutical medications and which interactions are based on flimsy theoretical or flawed experiments

• understands the new and emerging field of the human microbiome and the need for strain specificity of probiotics.

• has an affordable online dispensary with high quality, practitioner-grade products - if that’s what you

Yes, that’s me!

That’s part of naturopathy and what I do.

How to get started -

1. Line up all your supplements and all your medications and take clear photos (even the ones you are not taking right now).

2. Book a ‘Supplement Review’ appointment at a time that suits

3. Complete the patient intake form. Include details of any current or chronic conditions, symptoms and your intentions for taking the supplements.

4. Email me your pictures, and any recent blood tests from your doctor.

5. Check your internet, camera and microphone are all working and I’ll see you online!

Or, perhaps you’re ready to dive in and really commit to changing your health

and also save $$$ with a package or program?
