Feeling tired, stressed out, dreading getting out of bed in the morning? Suffering with bloating, IBS, diarrhoea? I can help! I'm Brooke! I'm a food loving, herbal medicine obsessed Naturopath, Nutritionist and Iridologist; I'm the owner of It's All Good. I worked as a Pharmacy Assistant for close to 10 years before completing my Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy and my Advanced Diploma of Nutritional Medicine in July 2016. My time as a Pharmacy Assistant exposed me to knowledge about pharmaceutical medications, their benefits and their side effects, and the important role qualified Naturopaths have in preventing and reducing the need for such medications. I am passionate about health and wellness on all levels; physical, mental and emotional, and I always strive to get to the root cause of conditions and treat each person as an individual. I work extensively with medical blood pathology, functional pathology, intolerance/allergy testing, compatibility testing and Iridology in my search for the underlying conditions causing current symptoms. I utilise dietary and lifestyle modifications as well as herbal and nutritional supplements, Australian Bush Flower Essences, homeopathy and energy healing as required to manage symptoms and address the underlying cause. ​ I'm very excited to announce that after 3 years of practicing in Hervey Bay I have now officially opened a second clinic location in the WOTSO Building in Sippy Downs on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. ​

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 :)

Hi my name is Ali, I'm a qualified Naturopath and a rural girl at heart, I value open and honest practitioner-client relationships. In my teenage years, I experienced ongoing health challenges and underwent extensive testing, but struggled to find answers. I often felt unheard and overlooked, even when working with trusted practitioners. This experience led me to explore alternative approaches more deeply. When I came across the idea of naturopathy, something clicked. I felt drawn to understand the body on a deeper level and support others who may feel the same frustration. My goal is to help people feel seen, heard, and supported in their health journey. My practice is centred on understanding the underlying drivers of your health concerns, by looking at the whole picture, not just your symptoms. I use a blend of traditional and evidence-based naturopathy to create practical treatment plans that are thoughtful, individualised and align with your life, to support lasting, realistic change. You’ll be listened to, supported, and guided with clarity every step of the way, so you can feel informed and confident in your health journey.
