Stress, anxiety, insomnia and depression
Is your nervous system coping with the demands of our 24/7, 21st century world? Poor sleep, depression, anxiety, nervousness, weight gain, fatigue and productivity are all affected by a worn out nervous system. Herbal medicine specific to your needs is particularly effective in this situation. Nurturing your nervous system and finding some balance in your life can make a world of difference.
Menstrual problems
You don’t have to suffer painful, heavy, irregular periods or the emotional rollercoaster that can plague those with menstrual problems. Conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis and fibroids can all benefit from a holistic approach. Natural remedies specific to your unique cycle can help balance hormones and make a huge difference to your life.
Menopause
Unsettling hot flushes, restless nights, poor memory, moodiness/tearfulness and weight gain are all symptoms of menopause. Menopause is of course a natural part of life but it doesn’t have to be torture! We work with natural remedies to help you and your body through this time.
Otpimise fertility
Naturally enhance your ability to conceive with natural medicine and tailored lifestyle changes. Many of the conditions that contribute to reduced fertility (polycystic ovarian syndrome, oestrogen excess, etc.) benefit from a naturopathic approach.
Male fertility
Poor sperm health (low count, motility, morphology) has been identified as the largest contributor to infertility. The good news is that there are many things we can do to enhance sperm health.
Preconception care
Childhood illnesses such as asthma, eczema, weight problems, allergies, neurological conditions and a myriad of other health issues are increasingly being linked back to the womb.
A person’s health status is a major contributor to a healthy full term pregnancy, and a healthy child. The eggs and sperm that you conceive with are formed up to 100 days before conception. For this reason three to four months of preparation is ideal to ensure the healthiest eggs and sperm possible.
Weight loss
Struggling to lose weight? Let us motivate you to achieve your goals. By addressing underlying imbalances in metabolism, food education and lifestyle we help you remove the barriers to achieving your healthy weight. Incorporating naturopathic principles with the insulin zone, the blood type diet, detoxification and the glycaemic index you will lose fat and gain a lean strong body. Exercise that fits into your lifestyle is a must along with food education that will have you off junk forever! After years of helping people lose weight I have realised that for some, the biggest block is emotional. This is taken into account too. The popular 6 week programme ($490) includes 6 weekly appointments, with a detoxification period (supplements/herbs included in price), measurement tracking, food education and recipes, and exercise recommendations. So why not make your first appointment today? It is never too late to take back your health! More info
Food allergy and intollerance
Do you suspect you or your child has an intolerance to a certain food? Different from a true allergy (such as anaphylaxis from eating shellfish), symptoms of an intolerance are delayed and can take upwards of 24 hours to manifest, making it hard to identify the cause. Your symptoms can often alert an experienced naturopath to the offending foods but it may be that we recommend a hair test ($119) to get a list of sensitivities. Chemical and environmental substances will also show up on a hair test. Click here for a list of all substances tested.
This service is available without a consultation from anywhere in New Zealand.
Urinary indican test (included in consult fee)
This is a quick test using a sample of urine that can indicate whether there is problem in the gut. When we eat protein we normally break it down into amino acids. If you have high levels of abnormal bacteria in your gut, then tryptophan, an amino acid, is maldigested and excreted in your urine as a substance called indican. So the presence of indican in your sample lets us know we need to correct the digestive environment in order to correct digestive and immune problems.
Hemaview (included in consult fee)
Hemaveiw or live blood analysis is a live blood screening that helps the practitioner gain vital information about your health status. Using only one or two drops of blood, we can evaluate the size, condition, shape and ratios of your different blood cells. For example, abnormalities in red blood cell size can indicate an increased requirement for iron, B12 or folic acid. Damaged cells can indicate free radical damage from pesticide or chemical exposure and the need for antioxidant and detoxification treatment. Patients often describe it as a real revelation, being able to see, right in front of their eyes, the effect their lifestyle is having on their blood cells. It is a great tool to track the treatment of a patient because as the body heals the cells return to normal. Available at Mt. Eden clinic only.
Increased immunity
Strong immune systems are essential for avoiding more than just the flu. Glandular fever, skin infections, allergy related asthma, eczema and hay fever can all be helped by figuring out why your immune system is struggling and the best way to strengthen it for you.
Digestive problems
A healthy digestive system is the foundation of a healthy body. Bloating, reflux, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis can all benefit from naturopathic medicine. While alleviating the symptoms we treat and heal the highly complex lining of the digestive tract to ensure lasting results.
Wellness and healthy aging
"If I'd known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!" Eubie Baker.
Are you healthy and want to stay that way? Naturopathic medicine is all about prevention being the best cure. By finding out your weaknesses and predispositions health-wise, we can put together a plan to prepare you for a healthy, happy, and active older age.
Detoxification
The modern world can expose us to an unprecedented amount of pollutants and toxins, from the air we breathe to the food we eat to the water we drink. Many disorders have been linked to toxin exposure from chronic dermatitis and allergies to many cancers and reproductive disorders. More than just cutting out alcohol and take-aways, supervised detoxifiction can change your whole relationship to food and raise the bar on what ‘healthy’ means to you. Extra energy, clear mindedness, easy digestion, weight loss for those that need it, all result from real detoxification. Depending on your level of health and any existing health conditions, a detoxification programme anywhere from 2 days through to 10 weeks will be put together for you.
Corporate services
Implementing “workplace wellness” is a true win-win situation. Happy employees equal better employees and by providing a workplace health programme you will decrease absenteeism, increase productivity and the quality of work, as well as retain staff for longer.
From basic health screening to regular ‘wellness workdays’ (including health seminars, in-house yoga, and chair massage), we will design a solution specific for your company to enhance the health of your greatest asset – your people.
