A Naturopathic approach to achieving an Ideal and Healthy Weight.

Last Updated on 5 November 2024 by Brisbane Livewell Clinic

Is your top New Year’s resolution achieving an ideal and healthy weight? We offer a wide range of Personalised services to ensure your New Year’s Resolution becomes a reality for the New Year and beyond.

Because we are all different we offer:

A Naturopathic Approach to achieving an ideal and healthy weight- Treating the cause.

The root causes of weight gain and difficulty losing weight are complex and multifactorial, including factors such as emotional triggers, hormone imbalance, stress, neurotransmitter imbalance, and toxicity(1)

Our Naturopaths consider this at your initial assessment and give you individualised guidance focused on correcting underlying imbalance through lifestyle change(1) considered to be equally as important as dietary factors.

When it comes to diet, talking through the myriad of suggestions for weight loss helps to avoid the confusion. Whether it be addressing food intolerances, choosing meal replacements or kick-starting with a short term detox, pursuing a balanced dietary plan tailored to individual needs, preferences, and medical conditions, are the key principles to facilitate weight loss. (2)

Food intolerance Testing

The likelihood of food sensitivities in individuals who are overweight is strong, if not certain. (3) Testing options via the clinic may assist greatly in tailoring your diet and removing inflammatory foods, taking out the guesswork and improving weight loss results.

Shake It Weight loss program

The Shake-it program works by incorporating meal replacements alongside a tailored eating plan, with optional additional supplementation support to get into ketosis (fat burning). Studies have shown that weight loss programs incorporating meal replacements led to greater weight loss at 1 year(4) so it is well worth considering.

12 day Gut & Liver cleanse

Getting a kickstart to weight loss and preparing the body by supporting the organs of elimination and detoxification can be a good idea. During your appointment, you will receive an overview of the detox plan and check that you are a good candidate for a detoxification regime.

Slow and steady wins the race to achieving your Ideal and Healthy Weight.

Weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. Setting goals in the New Year allows for an obvious measure of time – they say hindsight is 20:20 vision, so visualise looking back in a year, at the end of 2020 and imagine your goal achieved. Monitoring on a daily or weekly basis also helps get results as studies have shown that both wearing an activity tracker and setting a step goal are associated with lower body mass index (BMI) and an increase in activity(5)

Taking the necessary steps to achieve your goal is easier with help.

We are here to offer you all the support and guidance that you need and direct you to choose the right path to ensure the lifestyle changes you make are easily accomplished and come naturally.
