Much like Selph Health Studios, naturopathy encompasses a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
Naturopaths, including Selph Naturopath Sarah Benna Doyle, aim to find the root cause of your imbalance or illness, rather than just treating the symptoms.
Need further convincing? Here are our top five reasons to see a Naturopath:
Is anxiety taking over your life?
Anxiety is the most common mental health condition in Australia, with an average of 1 in 4 people experiencing anxiety in their lifetime.
People often turn to prescription medication to manage their symptoms, but naturopaths are another option. Naturopaths consider the whole person and can often delve into the several factors that contribute to anxiety, such as stressful situations, past trauma, nutrient deficiency, poor lifestyle choices, and chemical and hormonal imbalances.
After an in-depth consultation, your naturopath will be able to assess and identify the aspects of your life that could be contributing to your anxiety. As well as providing you with a health treatment plan, which outlines what you should and shouldn’t be eating and a proposed exercise schedule, to help you on your journey.
Naturopaths address the underlying causes rather than just treating the symptoms. They will educate you on how to manage your anxiety and support you in making positive lifestyle adjustments to improve your health and wellbeing.
A potential solution to healing your skin naturally
Skin conditions can be embarrassing and frustrating and finding a solution can leave you feeling defeated.
Naturopaths take a closer look at the underlying problems causing chronic skin conditions like acne, eczema and psoriasis. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, so it makes sense that your skin health is often a reflection of your inner health, particularly in the gut.
With a natural skincare support plan focused on treating internal imbalances and using natural medicines, Naturopaths can help to heal your skin from the inside, out.
Having trouble sleeping?
Sleep is a vital bodily function that we often overlook, yet it is a key component of our physical and mental wellbeing. While you sleep, your body goes into restoration and reparation mode, preparing you for the next day and supplying you with energy. A good night’s sleep increases productivity, concentration and improves your mood.
If you have trouble sleeping or suffer from insomnia, a naturopath can help. Naturopaths can assess your current sleeping habits and help you to form a regular sleeping routine so that you can regulate your sleep-wake cycle.
With a few adjustments and the use of herbal remedies, your naturopath can help you to fall asleep faster and sleep deeper.
Need help dealing with stress?
Mental and emotional stress have a significant impact on your health and wellbeing. Stress has been linked to chronic inflammation which in turn leads to disease and illness in the body.
Whether from work, relationships, or financial pressures, naturopaths can equip you with tools to manage and relieve your stress. In creating your customised treatment plan, naturopaths will often include nutritional support, supplements, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adjustments such as exercise and mindfulness practice to address your concerns holistically.
Selph Naturopath, Sarah Benna Doyle, also offers cortisol profile testing to give the best indication of what is happening with a client’s cortisol levels over an entire day. Sarah says,
“Often people don’t realise they’re stressed, or the impact of their stress and how their body is responding. Most of us don’t know how affected we are because our modern life is so full on”.
All disease begins in the gut
Gut health has been generating a lot of buzz in the health and wellness industry, and for good reason.
As we learn more about the intricacies of the gut microbiome and its effect on our mental and physical health, it has become evident that a healthy gut is essential to one’s overall wellbeing.
Naturopaths can help you with digestive issues such as IBS and constipation, and also assist you in improving and healing your gut function.
If necessary, Sarah can offer a CDSA (comprehensive digestive stool analysis), for deeper insight into the patients gut function and health. There is also food intolerance testing for those wanting to find out their food sensitivities.
Sarah adds, “The goal is not to cut the foods out forever or have a super restrictive diet, the goal is to take out the offenders while working on improving/repairing digestive function and then adding them back in and having no reactivity”.
