How I can Help

Services

Private practice

As Nutritional Medicine Practitioner | Certified Practicing Nutritionist it is my mission to help you restore your health naturally with food as medicine and nutritional supplementation where beneficial.

Genetics only explains a small percentage of the chronic health conditions experienced by almost 50% of Australian adults. Diet and lifestyle factors are important epigenetic factors in the development of cardiometabolic and other chronic conditions. No amount of nutritional supplements or therapies will have any sustainable value, unless the foundation of holistic health is addressed as well. Diet quality and quantity are important levers for health, as well as sleep, physical activity, a sense of inner peace, connection with nature, family, friends as well as meaningful work and creative expression.

G.E.M.M. protocol

The G.E.M.M. Protocol (Gut Ecology & Metabolic Modulation) is a unique system of health care designed to harness the principles of Nature in helping to restore normal function to human cells. As the function of individual cells returns to normal, so too does the function of the disordered organs and systems that had allowed disease to flourish.

All aspects of the G.E.M.M. Protocol have their foundation in peer-reviewed scientific evidence, with the accompanying nutrigenomically-active G.E.M.M. formulations based on food-derived ingredients for which clinical trials demonstrate efficacy.
