Naturopathic Medicine: How can a naturopathic clinician support me?

Naturopathy

Naturopathic medicine blends ancestral knowledge with modern science, with assessment focused on holistic connections, combining functional biochemistry and energetics in the prescriptive approach. Personalised care may involved nutritional or herbal compounding, practitioner-only supplements, diet and lifestyle changes, celloid therapy, essence therapy, breathwork and more. Naturopathic medicine is guided by 6 core principles emphasizes a holistic approach to health: prioritizing least invasive therapies, recognizing the body's innate healing power, identifying and addressing the root cause(s) of illness, fostering patient education, understanding the interconnectedness of health factors and advocating for preventative measures to achieve overall wellbeing.

Nutritional Medicine & Meal Planning

Food serves as a powerful food of medicine in nutritional therapy, influencing physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. By emphasizing the quality of one's diet, nutrition seeks to optimize overall vitality and prevent disease. A nourishing diet rich in essential nutrients is designed to support the body's natural healing processes, may alleviate chronic conditions, and enhances resilience to stress. Functional nutrition goes above just what we eat, focusing on what we can absorb, as well as an individual's unique biochemistry, nutrigenomics, epigenetics and lifestyle habits.

Functional Pathology Testing & Optimal Range Interpretation

Naturopathic clinicians utilize a combination of mainstream and functional pathology testing (including DNA SNP testing and gut microbiome testing) to uncover underlying factors behind symptoms, prioritizing optimal pathology ranges for enhanced functional capacity and disease prevention wherever possible. By reviewing your doctor's pathology tests against ideal reference ranges, these clinicians assess biochemistry patterns rather than seeking to fit results into diagnostic boxes. If you feel unwell despite 'normal' results, it may be due to averages reflecting a stressed, under-nourished population. With 47% of Australians experiencing chronic conditions (ABS, 2018), it's time to redefine 'healthy' and elevate wellbeing standards.

Celloid Therapy and Nail, Tongue and Eye Analysis

Celloid Mineral Therapy, designed by Dr. Maurice Blackmore (founder of the Blackmores supplement brand), is a therapy using personalised recommendations of celloids (specific mineral compound combinations) to address imbalances in the body. Dr. Blackmore aimed to provide a holistic approach to health using these methods, and tracked the correlations between eye, nail and tongue signs and nutrient deficiencies to develop this approach to mineral prescribing. This nutritional approach may be beneficial as part of a holistic plan for numerous conditions, ranging from insomnia to lymphoedema to liver disease.

Advanced Herbal Medicine & Herbal Compounding

Herbal medicine combines traditional knowledge with modern scientific research and may incorporate energetic principles, such as those from Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda. Practitioners prescribe individualised herbal formulations for synergy and focus on high-quality, sustainably sourced herbs to ensure safety and efficacy. Many herbal ingredients are sourced from reputable brands that undergo quality testing by phytochemists, some herbal tinctures even having minimum standardised measurements of therapeutic constituents.

We are happy to work alongside your doctors, and we use professional databases to screen for nutrient-drug, and herb-drug interactions to prioritize your safety. We provide detailed treatment plans which can be shared with other members of your healthcare team for integrative care. We can test privately for routine bloods or provide a referral letter for you to discuss options with your GP.
It is important to understand that a GP can only test what falls under the MBS criteria for Medicare without cost, and some tests may only be available when paid for privately. 
If you are concerned about interactions, including between prescribed drugs, the best approach is to book in a medication and supplements review with a pharmacist as drug safety is their specialty.
