Genitourinary Health 

Naturopathic nutrition and lifestyle medicine is effective in helping both male and female clients with diverse genitourinary complaints and/or conditions, such as UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections), urinary incontinence, thrush, vaginal dryness and irritation, and prostate health (concerning both inflammation and enlargement of the prostate). As a naturopathic practitioner, I take a wide, holistic and personalised approach to address the underlying causes of genitourinary conditions, rather than just treating the symptoms. I address nutritional imbalances and deficiencies, alongside poor lifestyle behaviours, with the aim to support optimal genitourinary health. Furthermore, I consider  underlying factors like gut health, hormonal imbalances and inflammation, which may contribute to genitourinary issues. 

 

Prostate health is an essential part of male health and I take a comprehensive approach in treating male clients who present with prostate enlargement (BPH) and/or inflammation. Through dietary changes and targeted supplementation, including herbal remedies, I am able to improve urinary symptoms related to enlarged prostates. Ensuring the adequate intake of specific micronutrients, such as zinc, is also an important element of prostate function. Beyond targeted nutrition, lifestyle factors also play a role. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight lower the risk of prostate problems in men. I would also consider eliminating food allergens and/or intolerances, which may be contributing to inflammation. Using a comprehensive, personalised  approach, I take diverse and proactive steps to optimise prostate wellness.
