Sanatio Naturopathy

As a PCOS Naturopath I ‘test and don’t guess’ is key to health! With a mix of hormones at play, hormones are complex and we need to know exactly what is going on. I lean on testing to understand exactly what is going on and what is driving what! To create an accurate treatment plan, I request we test. We can test via blood work, saliva, or urine testing each has its differences and advantages, and this is something we discuss when we meet. Once we have met, ran some tests, and taken a thorough case history, I create a plan that addresses the underlying causes. Insulin resistance, poor hormonal clearance, excess testosterone, increased stress, and difficulty losing weight, however, your PCOS is displaying we address each aspect.

Acne is a complex condition, with the blame often going to the condition of our skin and the skincare products we use. While bacteria and oil can be risk factors for acne, often they are not the drivers. Brands will promise you clear skin if you just use their products, but acne is often a sign that things are out of balance internally. As a specialised Acne Naturopath, my focus is to understand WHY your skin is breaking out.

Once we understand the hormones and drivers of your post-pill acne we assess your overall health, and we always treat the skin from within. We work together to create a treatment plan tailored to you, not only will your skin improve but so will your general health.

Women’s health and hormones are complex – from our sex hormones, stress hormones and thyroid hormones, if our hormones are out of balance, it can cause a whole host of issues for women. From skin outbreaks to irregular or uncomfortable periods. This is where the expertise of a women-focused Naturopath like Lindsay comes into play.
