Welcome to Naturopathic Health Solutions, our naturopath operates from Bella Vista/Norwest, Sydney, NSW. At Naturopathic Health Solutions we offer a range of holistic services to suit your needs. Services include functional medicine, naturopathy, herbal medicine, nutrition, flower essence, tissue salts, dietary plans, exercise plans and recommended lifestyle changes.

Our qualified naturopathic practitioner understands that each individual is unique and requires an individualised treatment plan to support their health goals. Whether the goal is supporting the thyroid, sex hormones, stress management, weight-loss, autoimmune disease, cancer support, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, poor memory, brain fog, chronic gastrointestinal complaints, chronic pain, fatigue, or achieving optimal health and well-being, we can tailor a treatment protocol to suit your needs.

Our Objective

Our objective is to help you achieve the best health possible, using safe and scientifically proven methods, involving both functional medicine and naturopathy.

Ultimately we look at each person and as an individual, as there are many differences and variables that make up each person. ie genetics, gender, body shape, health history, family history, lifestyle, work load etc. Once enough information is compiled, a comprehensive treatment plan is created to help address your health concerns.

To understand your condition, you must first understand your symptoms and why are they occurring. Symptoms work like alarm bells, indicating that an underlying problem has occurred below the surface. A common mistake practitioners make, is to treat the symptoms only. This approach may work temporarily, but not long-term, we class this as a” band aid approach.” A successful long-term solution, is one that treats the root causes and drivers of the disease.

All health conditions generally take time to manifest, they may take months or years and its the ongoing exposure to synthetic toxins, heavy metals, inflammation, oxidative stress, infections, imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, stress, hormonal imbalances, poor diet, poor lifestyle, leaky gut and genetic predispositions, that may potentially lead to dysfunction and disease in the body.

Thanks to the latest advancements in functional medicine lab testing, we have the technology and insight to identify the root causes and drivers of disease, eliminating clinical assumptions. The lab results provide the practitioner with essential detailed information about the individuals health, ultimately allowing the practitioner to create an holistic treatment plan, to correct the imbalances using a multi-faceted approach. Once these underlying issues are corrected, the body will naturally try to find a healthy equilibrium, thus promoting the process of healing to occur.

Your Initial Consultation

In your initial consultation, our naturopath may utilise tools such as comprehensive questioning and a physical assessment to create a foundational program to start the treatment plan. In the follow up appointments, further assessments such as pathology and functional medicine lab testing may be utilised to help uncover root causes that are contributing to your health condition. Throughout the treatment process, the practitioner will coach and educate you, empowering you with the knowledge required to understand your condition, and what what is required for a successful treatment. Depending on the circumstances, the treatment plan may be divided into various phases to ensure all areas of health receive enough focus. The treatment may involve herbal medicines, nutritional supplements, lifestyle recommendations, infra-red saunas, colonic therapy and so on. Depending on your case, functional medicine lab testing may include one or more of the following testing:

STANDARD PATHOLOGY, helps to ascertain the individuals current health and provides support for future treatment.

Specialised Functional Laboratory Testing

DOCTOR’S DATA HTEE TEST (hair, toxic, essential elements), which tests for heavy metal toxicity and mineral imbalances, using a hair sample. Great test for those experiencing neurological complaints, fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), autism, ADHD, cancer and so on. With respect to its contained elements, hair is essentially an excretory tissue rather than a functional tissue. Hair element analysis provides important information which, in conjunction with symptoms and other laboratory values, can assist with the early detection of physiological disorders associated with aberrations in essential and toxic element metabolism. As protein is synthesised in the hair follicle, elements are incorporated permanently into the hair with no further exchange or equilibration with other tissues. Scalp hair is easy to sample, and because it grows an average of one to two cm per month, it contains a “temporal record” of element metabolism and exposure to toxic elements.

PRECISION ANALYTICAL D.U.T.C.H TEST (dried urine comprehensive hormone profile test), which is the most advance and comprehensive hormone test available. Great for woman who are experiencing ongoing hormonal dysfunction, weight-gain, reproductive issues, irregular periods, PCOS, recurring ovarian cysts, reproductive cancers, etc. This advanced hormone testing was developed to surpass industry standards for available testing options. This test looks at sex hormones and their metabolites, the overall diurnal pattern of free cortisol, and the total and distribution of cortisol metabolites in addition to OATs which provide insight into nutritional deficiencies, oxidative stress, gut dysbiosis, melatonin, neuro-inflammation and more. Such a comprehensive analysis provides practitioners and their patients with detailed information, putting a spotlight on areas of imbalance or concern, and helps to guide towards more positive treatment outcomes.

DIAGNOSTIC SOLUTIONS GI MAP TEST (comprehensive stool analysis and intestinal health markers). This stool analysis can help to identify candida, yeast, fungi, viruses, parasites, worms, dysbiotic bacteria, healthy bacteria, inflammation, secretory IgA imbalance, organ dysfunction, increased gut permeability (leaky gut), H.pylori and more. It uses state of the art PCR and DNA technology. The GI MAP test is most comprehensive and accurate stool test available on the market today. Great for those experiencing ongoing gut complaints including bloating, flatulence, food sensitivities, cramping, GI pain, discomfort, diarrhoea, constipation, IBS, IBD, IBS and more.

DOCTOR’S DATA GI360 TEST (comprehensive stool analysis and intestinal health markers). The GI360™ is a comprehensive multi-technology stool test specifically developed to provide clinically actionable results, including standardised dysbiosis index and live susceptibility testing, this breakthrough test utilises the widest array of highly validated technologies in one test. The GI360™ Profile utilises new evidence-based DNA mapping technology coupled with growth-based culture and ID by MALDI-TOF, sensitive biochemical assays and microscopy. The ultimate combination to detect and assess the status of pathogens, viruses, parasites and bacteria that may be contributing to acute or chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and disease. With such a comprehensive overview of patients GI health, the GI360™ provides practitioners with valuable information for uniquely tailored treatment strategies.

MOSAIC DIAGNOSTICS OAT TEST (Organic acids test), tests metabolites found in urine for infections, mould, candida, yeast, clostridia, nutritional deficiencies, dysfunction in metabolism, detoxification pathways, energy pathways, folate metabolism, toxic load, and much more. A great comprehensive and broad test, which tests multiple systems and pathways in the body. Ideal for every age, especially great for those looking to understand their overall health status. The Organic Acids Test (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with over 70 markers and includes markers for vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and has the added benefit of included markers for oxalates, which are highly correlated with a number of chronic illnesses.

DIAGNOSTIC SOLUTIONS OMX TEST (organic metabolomics test) is perfect for those who want to assess their overall quality of health and identify imbalances, deficiencies, dysregulation of pathways and much more. It has hundreds of markers which may reveal essential factors about the health of the individual. The OMX ™ Organic Metabolomics test in Australia by Designs for Health and Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory evaluates urine metabolites—including organic acids, amino acids, and other key compounds—to assist practitioners in unravelling their patient’s metabolic pathways, revealing their unique Metabolic Signature. Using a systems-biology approach, OMX assesses biomarkers that go beyond the traditional lists of metabolites. This test enables practitioners to see a patient’s larger health picture by deciphering and connecting perturbations of key metabolic pathways and analytes, allowing for truly personalised therapeutic support.

KBMO DIAGNOSTICS FIT176 TEST (food inflammation and sensitivity test, with added intestinal health markers). Tests for immediate and delayed food reactions involving IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4 and Complement (C3d). The worlds most advanced test for food sensitivities, intolerances and inflammation produced by eating certain foods. Its ideal for those experiencing gut related complaints, fatigue, food sensitivities, autoimmune disease, skin conditions, headaches, migraines and others. Food Sensitivities and related diseases affect at least 100 million people worldwide and cause a variety of illnesses ranging from skin rashes and headaches to chronic intestinal diseases. Food sensitivities may develop for several reasons including imbalanced or inadequate diets, enzyme deficiencies, stress, genetic predisposition, infections and inflammation, chemicals, drugs, environmental pollutants and toxins. Research has shown that these factors may weaken both digestion as well as the protective defences in our intestinal tract allowing allergens to more easily confront our overwhelmed immune system.

DOCTOR’S DATA ADRENAL HORMONE PANEL, PLUS MELATONIN 24 HOUR TEST (24 hour adrenal, cortisol and sleep profile testing). These combined tests, tests for cortisol, DHEA and melatonin throughout the day. Providing valuable information to the adrenal function and sleep quality.  The 2 test combination, is great for those experiencing large quantities of stress, adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, poor sleep, unrefreshed mornings and more. 

NUTRIPATH NUTRI-STAT TEST, (a great all in one, designed to test multiple systems and pathways, to identify the root cause of disease). The Nutri-STAT panel is designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of important biomarkers involved in the pathophysiology of many complex, chronic and idiopathic conditions. The immune system is greatly impacted by an individual’s dietary patterns, and poor nutritional status can influence the risk of developing immune-mediated diseases. Nutrient deficiency, toxin build up and enzymatic dysfunction are common factors that lead to varying nutrient requirements. This report provides extensive insight into metabolic health, nutritional status, essential fatty acid levels, cardiovascular health, and endocrine function. An in-depth analysis of minerals and metals, amino acids, and organic acids are also incorporated to assess mitochondrial energy production, functional nutritional needs, detoxification capacity, neurotransmitter metabolism, and antioxidant requirements.Identifying and correcting nutritional imbalance is often an important stage of disease prevention, immune support, therapeutic intervention, and optimising patient outcomes. The Nutri-STAT profile provides an assessment of biochemical pathways and nutritional status, which can guide individualised vitamin and mineral needs. The Nutri-STAT panel is performed via automated biochemistry, with the exception of organic acids and amino acids, essential fatty acids, and minerals and metals, which use LCMS/MS/MS, GCMS and ICP-MS, respectively. A wide range of existing panels have been amalgamated to form the Nutri-STAT test, providing an ease for doctors and allied health practitioners to order all relevant tests within one single profile. This has been designed to save time for healthcare professionals, as well as developing a more cost-effective solution for patients who require multiple laboratory assessments. The Nutri-STAT profile may be suitable for individuals suffering from complex and chronic conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, metabolic conditions, cardiovascular disease, dementia, atopic dermatitis, and various mood disorders. Due to the diverse range of biomarkers measured in this profile it is also suitable for individuals wishing to identify and monitor their functional nutritional needs. The Nutri-STAT panel can be collected during any stage of a chronic or idiopathic illness to identify where metabolic blocks may be occurring. This panel also serves as a valuable starting point for assessing a wide range of markers, which allows health professionals to identify the areas of concern and follow up with other NutriPATH panels, as necessary.

PRECISION POINT DIAGNOSTICS COMPLETE THYROID PANEL TEST, which tests all thyroid parameters leaving no stone unturned. Especially good for those with a family history of thyroid disease, unexplained weight-gain or weight-loss, fatigue, hair loss, anxiety, depression, etc. Tests include the following: TSH, Total T4, Free T4, Total T3, Free T3, Reverse T3, TPO Abs., TG Abs.,

MOSAIC DIAGNOSTICS MYCOTOX PROFILE TEST (mould toxicity test). Mycotoxins are some of the most prevalent toxins in the environment. Mycotoxins are metabolites produced by fungi like mould, which can infest buildings, vehicles, and foodstuffs. A majority of mycotoxin exposures are through food ingestion or airborne exposure. In the European Union, 20% of all grains harvested have been found to be contaminated with mycotoxins. Unfortunately, mycotoxins are resistant to heat and many processing procedures. Fungi are able to grow on almost any surface, especially if the environment is warm and wet. Inner wall materials of buildings, wall paper, fibreglass insulation, ceiling tiles, and drywall (Gyprock) are all good surfaces for fungi to colonise. These fungi then release mycotoxins into the environment which may cause symptoms of many different chronic diseases. Diseases and symptoms that may be linked to mycotoxin exposure include fever, pneumonia-like symptoms, heart disease, rheumatic disease, asthma, sinusitis, memory loss, vision loss, chronic fatigue, skin rashes, depression, ADHD, anxiety, and liver damage.

We also provide genetic testing, COVID antibodies, immune testing, neurological testing and many others.
