Natural Weight Loss
Natural Weight Loss using Naturopathy
Tried everything but still not losing weight?
There are many things in our modern lives which can disrupt our hormones. Long term use of the contraceptive pill, residues from plastic used to store food and drink, exposure to environmental chemicals, cleaning products and perhaps the biggest cause is just plain old stress! The majority of hormone tests are designed to pick up hormone imbalances at the extreme end of the spectrum. People with a mild hormone imbalance can sometimes be overlooked when first tested and left with no medical reason for why they are feeling so out of balance. But often there may be a mild hormone imbalance which if treated early, can be corrected with natural medicine and improve overall health and wellbeing.
The way the “normal range” for a hormone test is decided by scientists, is obtained by taking a large group of people in the population, measuring their hormone levels, and calculating an average value.
These ranges have quite a broad scope, and many people whose hormones test high or low within the “normal range” may be developing the early signs of a hormonal imbalance.
What is “normal” for you to feel healthy and for your hormones to function well may not fall within the range of the average population. So many of us test our hormones and are told there is nothing wrong, however we really feel that something is in fact very out of balance.

How will a Naturopath help my health?
Our Naturopaths have presented healthy eating seminars for Goodlife Health Clubs 12 Week Challenge weight loss programs in Brisbane and we often see people who have had “tried everything” to lose weight.
Many personal trainers around Brisbane refer their clients to us to kick start their weight loss program or to help people who have reached a weight loss plateau.
The key to weight loss is identifying why your body is out of balance. The cause is different for each person and this is why an individual weight loss plan, not a “one size fits all” approach is needed. Busy people need easy solutions and you will receive a plan to work in with your lifestyle that is achievable and easy to follow.
For example, a recent client had tried 2 famous weight loss programs and had gained weight, not lost it. On discussing the clients diet and body’s symptoms we discovered the client had been feeling bloated in the belly for a long time. This bloating was a sign that her digestion was out of balance, and if you can’t digest and eliminate your food properly, it can be very hard to burn fat and lose weight.
After treating the client’s bloated belly successfully, she lost 8cm from her waist! A healthy body shape is something that you will achieve easily once your body is in balance and with a little help from us with some great healthy tips.
If you’ve had trouble losing weight you may benefit from saliva hormone testing
Many people who struggle to lose weight may need a team to help them. Our Naturopaths are qualified Nutritionists, helping you with recipes and food ideas and will also assess you for common hormonal imbalances that may sabotage your efforts. If stress or emotional eating is part of the picture, we can work with our trained Psychologists who are also qualified life coaches.
Your weight loss journey is unique to you and we’d love to help you find a sustainable lifestyle and help you demystify the fads and yo yo diets out there.
