Metabolic Disorders 

Naturopathic medicine is a highly effective approach for treating clients with metabolic disorders, such as obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism), etc. The key is to address the underlying causes through a comprehensive nutrition and lifestyle approach. I recognise that metabolism is influenced by diverse factors, not solely caloric intake and expenditure. Psychological factors, stress, hormone balance, sleep quality, and exposure to toxins, all play a significant role in the development of metabolic disorders and I work towards ´healing´ the metabolism through addressing all these interconnected factors.  I work extensively with targeted nutrition, predominantly through a whole-foods diet, to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. I may also use targeted nutrient supplementation to address severe deficiciences. Exercise protocols are carefully curated to meet the clients needs and capacities, as physical movement and activity is fundamental to supporting improved health. Supporting stress management and improving sleep quality to enable restoration, are essential lifestyle interventions. Through a comprehensive and personalised approach, naturopathic medicine can effectively support clients with diverse metabolic disorders to lose significant weight, improve lipid profiles, lower blood pressure and reverse pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes and improve thyroid function, without necessarily relying on orthodox medication.
