Beyond General Nutrition Advice
Nutritional medicine goes beyond 'eat more vegetables.' It uses validated functional testing to identify your specific deficiencies, intolerances, and biochemical imbalances, then prescribes therapeutic dietary interventions and targeted supplements to address them.
This is personalised, evidence-informed medicine — not population-average dietary guidelines.
Functional Testing We Use
Key tests our naturopaths interpret:
- Microbiome and stool analysis (CDSA, SIBO breath test)
- Comprehensive hormone panels (DUTCH test)
- Nutritional deficiency screening (B12, D, iron, zinc, magnesium)
- Food intolerance testing (IgG antibody panels)
- Organic acids testing (metabolic and mitochondrial function)
Therapeutic Application Areas
Nutritional medicine addresses: gut health and microbiome restoration, hormonal balance, mental health (nutritional psychiatry), metabolic health, energy and mitochondrial function, skin conditions, and immune function.
