Why one-size-fits-all protocols don’t work for most people

It’s because there is seldom one ‘single’ root cause of digestive health problems.
All of these symptoms can be as a result of a variety, or often a combination of factors,
including:

• Food intolerances or allergies (known or unknown)

• Stress - emotional, physical, or physiological

• Chemical exposures - heavy metals, mould, environmental chemicals

• Diet - low fibre, high protein, high fat, high refined carbohydrates, high sugar

• Parasites

• Medications - antibiotics, NSAIDs (Aspirin, Ibuprofen),

  and a host of others

• Low stomach hydrochloric acid

• Eating too fast, eating on the run

• Autoimmune conditions

• Not drinking enough water

• Overconsuming alcohol

• Other health conditions

• and, the list goes on!

But, we can’t help ourselves, can we? Humans are always looking for simple answers to complex problems.

So we fall for some good marketing for a product - or, unqualified people offering simple answers, or the story about the ‘thing’ that worked for a friend…cousin…workmate etc.

Instead, let me help you feel better by identifying and addressing your root cause/s, by considering what is right for you, in your personal and health circumstances and guiding you through the stages of treatment.

What I can offer you - my attention, my dedication, and my knowledge

Naturopathy is the perfect way to treat digestive health issues - of all kinds - we already take a holistic approach to any health condition, and treat the whole person - because, guess what… everything is connected!

I will spend the time to get to know you, your symptom history, your lifestyle, hobbies, diet, exercise, and your personal medical history. It’s a little like detective work, putting all the pieces together to identify the root cause or causes, and contributing factors. Then it’s treatment time, I build a personalised strategy for you, from elements that have been tried and tested.

Naturopathy is ‘evidence-informed’ that is, we can pull information from scientific studies that were published yesterday, systematic reviews published last year, traditional herbal knowledge that goes back centuries, and experience from working with other patients. It means that we can take all of the information and decide what is useful in your particular case.

And, most importantly my patients get results! Some have had fast results, and some have been slower - of course, that depends on how long, how complex the condition was, and how easy it has been for them to incorporate the necessary changes.
