Naturopaths Perth What is naturopathy? Visit our Perth Naturopaths
Are you looking for a Naturopath in Perth or Australia wide? Our Naturopaths specialise in a functional medicine approach, with comprehensive medical testing and a full medical review before any supplement or treatment is recommended.
When life is so busy for so many of us, having the energy and mental clarity to tackle obstacles, problem solve and simply fit everything into our days becomes incredibly important. If you are feeling less than optimal or are dealing with unwanted symptoms, daily life can become a struggle.
Put simply, naturopathy can make you feel better. It can give you an overall sense of wellbeing, give you more energy and vitality and even put you in a better mood. It has the power to boost brain function, reduce anxiety, clear skin, work out your gut issues, improve your menstruation cycle and give you a better night’s sleep.
Naturopathy uses a holistic, patient-centred approach. Our Perth Naturopaths actively listen to the individual, using a scientific, evidence-based approach to understand health issues by uncovering the root cause of an individual’s symptoms. Once the reasons for your illness are understood, naturopaths will create an individualised treatment plan to ensure you get back on the path to wellness.
Naturopaths follow six foundational principles in their practice:
- The healing power of nature
- First do no harm
- Find and treat the cause whenever possible, not only the symptoms
- Treat the whole person
- Education and prevention [1]

What training to Perth Naturopaths undertake
Our Perth based Naturopaths have all completed Bachelor Degree's in health science and undertake extensive post graduation university education. In addition to ongoing education, our Naturopaths have been trained and mentored in Functional Medicine by both Jarrod Cooper - ND and a range of functional medicine experts world wide.
Our Naturopaths use a science based testing model that assesses the overall biochemistry of the body, assesses gut function, nutrient and mineral deficiencies, MTHFR and methylation, hormones and a range of other markers. Our Naturopaths perforem a comprehensive medical assessment of all patients once testing is received and formulate science backed and proven treatment regimes based on the medical testing performed.
This allows our Naturopaths to treat the body at the cellular level level, removing healing blocks, restoring gut function and allowing the body to begin to heal. This is a vast contrast to a model that uses supplements of medications to target symptom relief.
At Advanced Functional Medicine, we believe everyone deserves to live their best life, with optimal physical and mental health. Get in touch with us to find out how we can help you or click the Book Appointment link to book online.
