Geelong, Drysdale and telehealth Australia-wide
Evidence-based naturopathy and nutritional medicine
Living Holistic Health is a naturopathy and nutritional medicine clinic in Geelong and Drysdale, seeing patients across the Greater Geelong region and the Bellarine Peninsula, and Australia-wide by telehealth. Our three practitioners have over 30 years’ combined clinical experience.
We don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions; that stays with your doctor. Our part is the nutritional, herbal and lifestyle work that sits alongside their care.
Gut healthBloating, IBS, reflux and food reactions that keep coming back. 
Mood and stressLow mood, anxiety and sleep, alongside your GP or psychologist. 
Women’s healthPeriods, PMOS, perimenopause and hormones that feel out of step. 
Fertility and pregnancyPreparing for pregnancy, IVF support, pregnancy and after the birth. 
Kids’ healthTummies, eczema, picky eating and development, with a parent in the room. 
Also skin, autoimmune and men’s healthEverything we help with, in one place.Appointments in person at either clinic, or by telehealth or phone across Australia. Open six days a week, by appointment.
Our aim is to understand what is driving your symptoms, not only to ease them.
A first appointment is a full hour. We take the whole history, read the pathology you already have, and explain what we think is going on before we suggest anything. We look for four things that commonly sit underneath long-standing symptoms:
01Inflammation that has not settled.
02Cellular stress and the energy systems behind fatigue.
03Nutrient gaps that do not suit your genetics.
04A nervous system that cannot switch off.We use functional testing only when a result would change the plan, and herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle work as the plan itself, alongside your doctor’s care. You leave with a written plan and the reasoning behind each step.
For private health consultation claiming, please enquire with your health fund to assess coverage. Nutrition consultations are covered by some private health funds — please check with yours first.
We use functional testing when a result would change the plan, never as a routine. Each test is explained before you decide, billed directly by the laboratory, and read alongside the pathology your GP has already ordered.
If the answers so far haven’t explained what you’re living with, there is more that can be looked at, alongside your doctor.
We will delve deeper to find what is driving the pattern.
You will not be dismissed.
We take the pattern seriously.
We work alongside your GP, not around them.
