After being diagnosed with unexplained infertility and trying with many doctors and health practitioners for four years, my husband and I were able to conceive a child naturally after treatment form Dominic. He was was the first health practitioner that looked in detail into what was happening in both my body and my husbands. After years of being told nothing was wrong by fertility doctors Dominic observed hormonal imbalances in both of us which were the cause of our 'unexplained infertility'. If you are a couple who has been given this diagnosis of unexplained infertility and been recommended IVF or other assisted reproduction therapy to treat this supposed condition, do your self a favour and consult Dominic first. We cannot thank him enough.

So grateful I found Dom, he is the only person I trust for my sons health and well-being and also my own. I have gone to GPs who give no explanation just suggest a chemical to treat my child with rather than investigating and treating the root cause. Dom is so caring, fair and genuine and I cannot recommend him more! Thank so, so much if I could recommend more than 5 stars I would⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Domenic is a fantastic naturopath - I have been seeing him for over 10 years. He has always been able to solve and treat my systemic health issues when mainstream doctors have not. Issues have included a lack of immune system, inflammatory skin rashes and reactions, and more recently weight gain caused by hormone imbalance and oestrogen dominance. He is thorough and knowledgeable and treats his patients holistically. I whole-heartedly believe in Domenic's skills as a naturopathic practitioner & will continue to see him as an essential element of my health and wellness journey. :)

I have never felt better, since following the plan Domenic has given me I am full of energy and my anxiety levels are low and another great bonus is that I am losing weight. definitely recommend Dominic for your health and natural medicine

Such a knowledgeable practitioner. I've been suffering IBS for over 5 years, been to so many doctors with no outcome. Dominic worked out what was wrong and formulated a personalised program and already feeling so much better. Thank you so much!

For many years I suffered with IBS symptoms including bloating, eczema, inflammation, anxiety etc....I saw many Naturopaths who would provide temporary relief. Domenic was the only one who could actually provide me with an ongoing solution to manage my symptoms. This was done through testing and treatment. Currently I have regular check ups with Domenic for ongoing maintenance of my IBS symptoms.

After suffering with hives on and off for nearly 15 years and seeing lots of doctors, specialists and natropaths in NSW and VIC with no results, Domenic got straight to the problem, sending me for the right tests. Once we knew what whas going on, he helped get my body back on track within a month - and I have not had any hives since. This was amazing for me as I was previously taking very strong drugs to try and keep the hives under control, but they weren't working. I was also worried about the side effects of these drugs after taking them for so long. Now as a busy mum of two under two, I see Domenic occasionally and he helps me with the right supplements so I can keep up with the demands of hectic mum life. After dealing with so many other specialists and natropaths, I can see Domenic really knows his stuff and I highly recommend him!

Domenic Pisanelli is extremely knowledgeable, very thorough and genuinely cares about his clients. As a six month client of Vital Health Solutions, I highly recommend Domenic. In this time my health has improved immensely. Domenic has taken the necessary time to fully understand my health issues, how they make me feel and the impact on my life. He is conscious of striking a balance between alleviating the symptoms and finding the root cause in order to improve my health in the long term. I am glad to have found Domenic and extremely grateful for his kindness and the help he has given to me.

I have been going to Dom for over 10 years. I consider him to be the best health professional I know. He has helped me overcome many health issues incl blood pressure, digestion, and bronchitis. Since going to Dom I have not had to take antibiotics at all. I would highly recommend him as his manner is so warm and welcoming. I now travel from Ormond if I need to see him and the trip is always worth it. Mary

I have been seeing Naturopath Domenic for more than 10 years. He is very caring and thorough in his approach. I have seen him for various reasons over the years and I have always had great results and his guidance and support has helped me to feel well again. He has always offered different options of care and some of the latest testing available to ensure the best outcome for me. Domenic is always available and if I have been travelling I am able to have a phone/Skype consult with him as well which has helped immensely. I would highly recommend Domenic.

Understanding Metabolic Syndrome The Functional Approach

Metabolic syndrome, also known as Syndrome X, Insulin Resistance Syndrome, or Dysmetabolic Syndrome, is a combination of conditions that puts a person at a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, stroke and diseases that are related to unhealthy fat accumulation in the artery walls. It also puts the body at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The major reasons behind metabolic syndrome include being overweight, obesity and inactivity for a long period of time. The syndrome is also linked to a condition called insulin resistance that is when the body resists hormone insulin and this results in increased blood sugar levels.

The hormone insulin helps the body in controlling the amount of sugar (in the form of glucose) that’s in the blood. With a condition like insulin resistance, the body’s cells fail to respond normally to hormone insulin. Resulting in glucose not entering the cells as easily as it should in a healthy body. The glucose that fails to enter the cells accumulates in the blood and stays unattended. This accumulated and unattended glucose deposits can lead to type 2 diabetes.

How Is Metabolic Syndrome Typically Resolved At My Vital Health Solutions?

Metabolic syndrome is when the body exhibits the following symptoms:

The body has midsection obesity (waistline being more than 35 inches for women; waistline being more than 40 inches for men)
The ‘good’ cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein levels (HDL)) levels being below 50 mg/dL in case of women and below 40 mg/dL for men
The blood pressure is usually over 130/85 mm Hg
When the fasting blood glucose levels are greater than 100 mg/dL
The triglyceride level is over 150 mg/dL

By carefully analysing your symptoms, and the proper functional tests, Naturopath Domenic Pisanelli will determine the degree of Metabolic Syndrome. Upon confirmation, an exclusive course of treatment will be prescribed to help treat your conditions.

Understanding Why Metabolic Syndrome Is Problematic!

Metabolic syndrome or Syndrome X puts your body into a high inflammatory state affecting your arteries, heart and kidneys. Identifying metabolic syndrome in a person is crucial as it makes them highly vulnerable to risks of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, strokes, kidney malfunctions and other renal diseases.

Studies have shown that people with metabolic syndrome are at a 55% higher risk of developing kidney problems especially targeting the lower kidney functions (which identifies as kidney diseases). Other studies have also shown that metabolic syndrome can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 2 to 4 times in a patient.

The syndrome also can cause heart and blood vessel related diseases. High levels of cholesterol and high blood pressure can cause buildup of plaques in the arteries. These plaques buildups narrow down and harden your arteries making the patient more vulnerable to heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular complications.
