The Key to Healthy Weight Loss is Understanding what Caused the Weight Gain in the First Place

Naturopathic Weight Loss is very effective in achieving lasting results.

Why?

We understand that You need to be treated as an Individual because Everyone’s Body is Different.

That’s why we’ll Taylor Make a Weight Loss Plan just for you.

Australia is in the grip of an obesity epidemic, with over 50% of the population now officially overweight. Below is just a partial list of diseases which Australians can expect to develop in the future;

  • Heart Disease
  • Type II Diabetes
  • Cancer
  • Depression
  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome & Infertility
  • High Cholesterol
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis

And all the complications that accompany them. Not to mention the prescription cascade which at best “manages your symptoms” but fails to get you well.

Prescription medication provides “acute care” to get you out of a potentially dangerous situation. However, compliance with these drugs is often poor due to side-effects such as lowered energy, vitality and libido.

Making dietary and lifestyle changes in conjunction with taking the prescribed supplementation, produces a win-win situation for everyone. By simply learning how to achieve weight loss and take off extra kilos has a significant impact on preventing and reversing chronic health conditions.

Waist circumference is now recognized as a good predictor of a person developing a combination of the above diseases, which is referred to as Metabolic Syndrome. The main driver of this syndrome is insulin resistance.

So how do you go about achieving permanent healthy weight loss?

Naturopathic, Healthy Weight Loss is all about understanding what caused the weight gain in the first place.

Everyday we see women and men who are “doing everything right”. They’re exercising and eating a balanced diet and yet they cannot lose weight. Some women even gain weight while on this new “healthy” regime. At Getting Well Naturally we understand that weight gain can be driven by many things… not just a bad diet and a lack of exercise.

Weight gain is often the result of hormonal imbalances within the body and many women also have conditions such as underactive thyroids and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which make it very difficult to achieve weight loss through diet and exercise alone. In fact, recent research indicates that 75% of women have hormonal imbalances which contribute to their weight gain. Numerous other factors also contribute to weight gain. They include undiagnosed food allergies, infection, inflammation, stress, emotional issues, depression & anxiety and more…..

There has never been a better time to start on your weight loss goal.

Testimonials

“I think the diet and nutrients have made a great improvement to my wellbeing. I have lost weight, have no indigestion and more energy.”

“Getting Well Naturally’s programs and treatments have made me feel full of energy, improved my mood and made me feel better about myself. Merril is very approachable, easy to talk to. A fun approach to the sessions. Highly recommended!!!”
Kate of Delahey, Vic.

“I visited Getting Well Naturally in 2008 at the start of winter for some naturopathic advice on diet and wellbeing. I was feeling very tired, bloated and suffering from nausea and fatigue on some days. Thinking that I always had a healthy diet, I was to discover that they were the wrong foods for my body type. Merril guided me through my diet and eating habits, gave me advice on what I should and shouldn’t be eating and also some guidelines for exercise to help with improving my overall health. I was determined to see it through. For every month over a 3 month period, I visited Merril for an update to make sure we were on the right track. This allowed us to alter anything necessary, which also included certain vitamin and mineral supplements. Merril’s knowledge and expertise in her field was very well demonstrated along with a caring, friendly, helpful and professional approach to her work and in helping others. I was most impressed with the after care as well – always able to email or phone with any problems or questions. Merril also keeps her clients updated with information on many different topics that she feels may interest them. In any of my appointments, I never felt Iike I was being rushed out the door! To this day, I am much better equipped to be able to handle my own diet with confidence and know that it is up to me to maintain the quality of life I choose. I owe it to Merril with many thanks that she was the one to place me on to the right path. I highly recommend her services to anyone wishing to try Natural Medicine as an alternative.”
