It's what you want to be right?
You want to feel energised, calm, in control and bounce out of bed in the morning. You want to be able to live your best life, but it's hard to do this when our health isn't right.
It’s amazing how long we put up with things before we seek help. How long have you been suffering with your symptoms? Ignoring them in the hope that they will go away? Or just confused about what you can do to fix them.
You’re not alone, most of our clients have been dealing with their issues for years, and have allowed them to slowly get worse and worse.
Your body doesn’t just develop disease on it’s own, there’s a number of underlying factors that need to happen before illness takes hold. Your life story is really important when it comes to your current health, and at Shift that’s the first thing we want to check out in your initial session.
Discover you.
The point of this session is to answer three questions...
- Where is my health at right now?
- Why have I ended up here?
- What can I do to correct this?
The biggest pain point for people is the uncertainty.
You don’t know why they are sick or how they are going to get out of it.
The Discovery and Diagnosis session remedies both of these issues. It's time to discover what these health issues mean for YOU.
"The first step to healing is discovering what got you there in the first place, and what all of the contributing factors are.
Once you understand what you're dealing with you can then take action to make the shift. "
-Katherine Maslen
What is naturopathy?
At this point you may not have seen a naturopath before, or at least not a Shift naturopath, so let’s break down how it works.
Our Shift Naturopaths look at your whole body. Where you might see your doctor and they look at each issue individually, we want to know about all of the parts of you so we can see how things are connected.
One we understand the landscape of your entire health, we can then use our expertise to prescribe you the right medicines to make the shift.
I'm Ready To Make My AppointmentIt might help to give you an example of how this works using a client case study. Judy is a 39 year old woman who had Hashimoto's thyroiditis, severe period pain, severe allergies, joint pain, gut issues and extreme fatigue. When she came to see us she had seen an endocrinologist, gynaecologist, rheumatologist and immunologist, plus her general practitioner.
That’s 5 different doctors, none of which were looking at the patient as a whole person, or making any links with her issues.
When Judy came to see us we took her entire health history, and what we found that there was longstanding gut dysfunction which disrupted her immune system leading to the autoimmune thyroid condition and allergies. We looked at her diet and helped to eliminate foods that were upsetting her system which eliminated the allergies and resolved the joint pain. We did comprehensive hormone and gut testing, to get to the bottom of the issues. Within 8 months 80% of Judy’s issues had resolved.
We are able to get these types of results with naturopathic care because we’re addressing the whole body, rather than issues on their own. These kinds of results are the norm rather than the exception at Shift.
Your body is always trying to heal itself, you just need to give it what it needs.
For just $249, you'll get a 90 minute 1-1 session with someone that has the knowledge to help you understand your own body better.
Diagnosis
We spend about 15-20 minutes in the diagnostic stage, helping you to understand what is happening and why.
This is the first step to a successful treatment.
Diet plan
You'll get initial prescriptive dietary advice to help you begin to make the shift. We use food as medicine and functional nutrition.
We'll send you links and handouts to help you with making changes.
Personalised prescription
You'll walk away with a prescription of specific high quality supplements and herbs you need in order to heal.
If you're virtual we post or help you source what you need locally.
Testing
We can order blood tests and other functional pathology if needed. You'll know what tests are indicated in this appointment so you can plan what you need to do.
We also liaise with your doctor for complete care.
All of the information you need to begin your healing journey informed and ready to take action.
Your health is everything. There is no point in having a great job or nice house or money to go on holidays if you don't invest in your health.
Our naturopathic process is based in the latest science, combined with the power of nature to help you to heal.
Take action on your health now so you can get back to feeling great and live life to the fullest.
