Naturopath Hillside

Why Hillside Patients Come to Vital Health

Most people who find us have already done the rounds — blood tests came back normal, they’ve been told to reduce stress, maybe tried a few supplements. They still don’t feel right.

After 25 years in clinical naturopathy, I’ve rarely found that normal results tell the whole story. The tests your GP orders screen for disease. They’re not designed to detect the functional imbalances that drive chronic symptoms in otherwise healthy people — things like gut microbiome disruption, cortisol dysregulation, subclinical thyroid dysfunction, or mitochondrial stress.

That’s where functional testing changes everything. Instead of matching your symptoms to a diagnosis, we investigate what’s actually driving them — then build a protocol around those findings.

Common reasons Hillside patients seek naturopathic care:

• Fatigue that doesn’t resolve with rest
• Gut symptoms — bloating, reflux, IBS, food intolerances
• Hormonal imbalances — irregular cycles, PMS, perimenopause
• Autoimmune conditions — Hashimoto’s, psoriasis, RA
• Anxiety, brain fog, and poor stress resilience
• Unexplained weight gain or metabolic issues
