let’s work together

Welcome to Guided by Tradition, a natural medicine clinic based in Brisbane and offering online consultations Australia wide.

We specialise in Natural Treatment for PCOS.

We recognise that PCOS is a complex condition, and each person will have their unique set of underlying drivers, and a unique set of symptoms.

Naturopathy considers the whole body, diet, environment and lifestyle when addressing underlying drivers of PCOS.

With PCOS, there is can be an issue with ovulation and progesterone levels, which can affect the amount of DHEA, oestrogen and testosterone levels there are in the body. Every body is unique in their set of symptoms, but common ones include:

• Menstrual irregularities - some people have longer cycles, some have shorter cycles, some don’t get a cycle. Some also notice a change in the bleed flow and length and change in the bleed colour (such as brown blood, spotting etc)

• Hirsuitism - fuzz and/or hair on the lip, chin, tummy

• Hormonal acne - located on the jawline, chest, neck or back

• Anxiety or mood changes

• Weight changes - some people struggle with weight loss, others struggle with weight gain, others struggle maintaining a consistent weight, or some people notice weight only at their tummy

• Sugar or carb cravings

The naturopathic aim is to find the root cause of the hormonal imbalance when you have PCOS.

We do this by:

• having in depth consultations to go through symptoms of the whole body, the diet, previous health history, family history and the environment

• using functional hormone testing to investigate hormone levels to set a ‘baseline’ - important so that we can go back and recheck in future!

• using functional and pathology testing to investigate the root cause of your hormonal imbalance

  • I often test for: nutrient deficiencies, cortisol levels, insulin levels & prolactin levels - many people do not know this, but the reference range you get with your GP for your blood tests are set by the lab (such as QML & SNL in Queensland) - their range is a statistical average, it is not an ‘optimal’ range for health!

So if you struggling to manage your PCOS symptoms with conventional medicine, or you’re just wanting a more natural way to support your body, I would love to guide you!

Natural medicine looks for long term solutions for optimal wellness instead of bandaid treatments.
