Welcome to Natural Health Medicine’s, Naturopath Adelaide Clinic

We are based in South Australia. Naturopath Adelaide, Maria Harpas, offers one of the BEST individualised treatment programs, using pathology testing to accurately and scientifically, assess where your health is at, and what your risks are.

What Do You Need?

Are you tired or fatigued, have hormone problems, been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, gut issues, has your mood been assessed from a biochemical perspective? Are you an undermethylator or overmethylator? Do you have diabetes or insulin problems, what is your heart risk? Do you suffer allergies, intolerances? What’s your bone health like, good to know years before it’s too late! Are you eating well, but not sure if its working for your body? Do you know what health risks you might have, and what you can prevent in the future?

Science Based Naturopathy

This style of Naturopathy will answer these questions and guide you in the most practical and sustainable way possible. Working with your GP or other health care providers where needed, bringing it all together, providing you with a caring and achievable approach to healthy living. We will consider what you really need, by establishing the testing that is right for you, and if your GP is unable to run the tests for you due to Medicare restrictions, that’s not a problem, we have negotiated reduced prices through the labs for you. We are highly qualified to suggest targeted treatment, in most instances we test before supplementing, and where possible we consider lifestyle modification first, we then measure your progress.

Avoiding The Naturopathic & Nutritional Overload Advise

You only have to hop onto the internet, type in your health issue and receive a ridiculous amount of contradictory advise, become overwhelmed, worried and confused. There is some good info and advise out there, yet there is also some bad info, and somewhat dangerous advise. Whilst it can be great to listen to people’s success stories, and its very encouraging, what we are very clear about is that what works for one person, won’t necessarily work for another! As our focus is deep seated in nutritional biochemistry, we are EXPERTS in reading pathology results and individualising treatment, all our Naturopaths have degree’s (Health Science, Complementary Medicine or Naturopathy), so you can be sure that we are advising on what is best for you.

THE “6 WAYS” to HEALTH

All of our Naturopaths use lifestyle medicine, what we call the “6 ways” to treat any of our own health issues as they arise, and to assess and improve any of our own health risks. We certainly are not perfect! but our own journey, along with our professional qualifications, have helps us develop a large pool, of tips and tricks to help guide you through your journey of learning and change. While we know that lifestyle medicine makes sense and in most instances is the logical and practical first line treatment solution – its better to drink enough water to avoid a headache, than to take a drug to alleviate it! We are also very clear on those times where orthodox medicine might be a good fit, we can help you draw on the appropriate modality where and when needed.

We consider that there are “6 WAYS” to health these, are:

• Nutrition
• Movement
• Sleep
• Stress Management
• Human Connection
• Environmental Pollutants

“Health isn’t everything, but without it, everything else is nothing“ – Schopenhauer

 

Finally – Lets Get REAL!

Changing lifestyle behaviours and foods, isn’t always as easy as it seems in theory! Thats because us humans are habitual and we carry our childhood conditioned, behaviours. So be realistic, for many of you learning new ways and forming new habits, that will serve you, can take time to develop, we will be here to guide you every step of the way, all you have to do, is give your health its rightful priority and commit to the process – together we will can make this an enjoyable learning process that will stay with you for life!

  “Nutrition is not “alternative, not complementary” it is a basic requirement of health and central to good medicine. Proper application of nutritional medicine can prevent disease, save lives, and in the long term, is profoundly more economical than virtually any other medical discipline” – Professor Ian E Brighthope
