Hi. My name is Mechelle Palermo. I am a qualified Clinical Nutritionist (with Distinction). I am also a qualified Medical Laboratory Scientist with over 30 years experience (including Genetics, Cytogenetics, Haematology, Microbiology, Biochemistry & other areas). I am a Certified Metabolic Balance Practitioner. I offer a program to assist clients with improving their metabolic health (weight management, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, glucose regulation). After a 90 minute initial consultation + blood screen, a personalised Metabolic Balance meal plan is generated for you and the coaching program guides you to achieve your health goals. The program is structured to assist you with the best foods to eat for your body, to lower inflammation and feel your best. The program works well for clients taking weight loss medications too. Clients taking weight loss medications may have reduced appetite. It is therefore important these clients still have a balanced nutritious diet. I am also an Accredited Gut Ecology & Metabolic Modulation (G.E.M.M) protocol practitioner founded and developed by Dr. C. Houghton at Cell-Logic, Australia. The protocol provides a gentle nutrigenomic approach to improving health goals. It includes a healthy "Food First Philosophy" approach plus natural food supplements to target gut health conditions, metabolic health and other health conditions including auto-immune and neurological conditions. Visit https://cell-logic.com.au/the-g-e-m-m-protocol-for-patients/ for more information. Where more support is required, I also offer optional Functional Laboratory tests including a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) test, Genetics testing, Gut Microbiome, and other types to gather more client health marker data to assist my clients. My primary areas I support are clients for Metabolic health and Gut health. I also support clients in pre-conception, fertility, family, auto-immune and neurological health. I also support clients who would just like a nutrition health check-up. My services are complementary to medical care and my clients should always stay in contact with their medical team. Treatment plans are based on a client's extensive health history which I take in the Initial (First) appointment (including medical history, family history, diet, lifestyle, medications, supplements, conventional & functional pathology test results). Please bring your most recent laboratory test results and a list of current medications & supplements to your First appointment. For each client I ensure the Nutrition & Lifestyle treatment plan is holistic, matches each client's health goals and is based on the best scientific evidence at that time. For Metabolic Balance Program clients, they will follow a structured program including their personalised blue-print meal plan. For clients interested in the Metabolic Balance program, please ask me which blood tests you need before your meal plan can be generated. My approach is a Food-First Philosophy approach. However, some clients may benefit from supplements too. I have current registration with the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS). If you have private health insurance you may be able to claim for a rebate depending on your fund provider and level of cover. Health funds you can make a claim with include HBF, Latrobe health services, Mildura health fund, Phoenix health fund, see-u by HBF, St Lukes Health, Medibank, NIB, Australian Unity & AHM. Check with your private health fund for eligibility including codes/item numbers for initial and follow-up consults. Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover Clinical Nutrition services. Therefore, for New Clients: 1. Book an INITIAL (First) consult (60 min or 90 mins) or Metabolic Balance Program or COACH BUNDLE depending on individual circumstances. 2. Clients can book a 15 minute Discovery call with me to discuss which service is best for them before booking. 3. First consult session: I will take a detailed health history and discuss relevant pathology test results with you, your health goals, provide education & strategies for your personal holistic nutrition and lifestyle treatment plan, answer any questions you have, and provide you a completed treatment plan within 1-2 business days. Follow-up sessions will be single, a bundle or program depending on client's health goals. 4. I can also be contacted on my website at www.mechellepalermo.com through my contact page or instagram account @palermomechelle Thank you. I look forward to meeting and assisting you with your Health Goals using Nutrition, Lifestyle & other strategies. Mechelle Palermo :)

Many years ago my father was unwell after seeing the results of natural medicine on him i got interested. I did general nursing but could not complete due to sever concussion after a car accident. Being unable to finish my final certification in nursing i sort help from natural medicine. In 1973 qualified as a Naturopath in New Zealand, I moved to Australia and complete a homoeopathic course from UK. I became an Osteopath but to be allowed to practice i had to complete a second Naturopathic Diploma to be able to practice in Australia. Then compulsory registration for Chiropractors happened. There was no Government Osteopathic registration in Australia at that time. So i did more studies to be a chiropractor in order to practice manipulation. Went on to become a herbalist, An other advanced studies in Anti-aging Medicine. Have Acupuncture Diploma from Hong Kong Bacholar from Netherlands, and advance certification from Beijing and registered with the WHO for Acupuncture. additional certificates in Chinese medicine. i love to study and to help people. At present doing studies alternative oncology.

HI, I’m Warwick Maloney, I have been an Exercise Physiologist since 2011, I’m based in Forster on the NSW Mid-Coast. The bulk of my professional life has been in rural private practice clinical environments, and I have always gravitated towards the musculoskeletal elements of Exercise Physiology care. I’m interested in movement based musculoskeletal healthcare. I support people’s health, wellness and rehabilitation, if you’re experiencing setbacks that are stopping you from enjoying what you love, lets collaborate on some active approaches that support your goals. I enjoy collaborating with people as they commit to a process of improved health over time. These types of clients need evidence-based guidance and a cheer squad, and via semi-regular check-ins, I enjoy supporting (and cheering for) them as they work towards their goals. I have a wholistic health philosophy, we are unique individuals with goals and life experiences, and these should always play a role in our healthcare. And while exercise and physical activity are a big part of my work, I am also interested in other ways of engaging positively with our physiology, such as spending time in nature.

Hi, I’m Joey — a degree-qualified naturopath and founder of Natley & Co. I work with busy, health-conscious people who feel tired, overwhelmed, hormonally out of balance, or simply not quite themselves. My approach is evidence-informed, systems-based and deeply personalised. I look at the whole picture — nervous system regulation, gut health, hormones, metabolism, lifestyle patterns — and create practical, sustainable plans that restore energy and resilience over time.

Tailoring your Diet to Fight Life’s Demands. A Private Alternative Medicine Solution. Hello there! I’m Nakiya, a 30 year old mother of two girls and one fully grown man (husband) and owner of Amalia Health. I began my journey in Nutritional Medicine because I’d exhausted all options in conventional medicine when my daughter fell ill. It then made sense to me, that, the biochemical pathways in our body can be improved, supported and alleviated by the very nutrients in Wholefood. The earth has been so kind to provide us!
