Hello! I help adults with gut issues who feel confused and restricted around food find relief and freedom using a personalised, root-cause approach - even if you're still searching for answers and don't know where to start. My passion for nutrition was ignited while attempting to improve my own health, and now I'll use everything I learned along the way to help you. Persistent health problems which aren't taken seriously by other health professionals can be very frustrating, but that's why I will work with you to find the balance between managing your symptoms and having as much variety in your diet as possible. I'll also look for the "why" behind your symptoms so that the root cause can addressed, leading to a better health outcome for you in the long-term. I can help you with irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g. Crohn's and ulcerative colitis), SIBO, reflux, coeliac disease, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation and fatty liver disease. Otherwise, if you'd just like to improve your general health and wellbeing, I can help you with that from a gut health perspective. Some things to keep in mind about my approach: • I might recommend over-the-counter or practitioner-only supplements to help with your condition or control your symptoms. However, I don't advocate for using supplements long-term unless you have a health condition/requirement which means you will require long-term therapy • I take into account drug-nutrient interactions with the medications and supplements you are taking • I consider vitamin/mineral deficiencies as possible causes for your symptoms. I might recommend blood tests to look for any suspected deficiencies, and to get these bulk-billed, you will need to request the tests from your GP • I DON'T take a non-diet approach for weight loss - I will recommend a specific eating plan or food swaps to create a calorie deficit • I DON'T do microbiome testing, as not only are they very expensive, but the current evidence suggests that they are not at an appropriate level to inform therapy in patients

Clinical Nutritionist specialising in gut, skin and thyroid conditions.

I’m Natalie Baxter, a clinical nutritionist (BHSc Nutritional Medicine) who helps women restore balance in their hormones, gut health, skin, and weight through realistic, science-based nutrition. With over five years of experience in retreat settings, I’ve seen how deeply nutrition influences not just physical health- but mood, confidence and energy. My approach is rooted in evidence but always tailored to the individual - combining targeted nutrition strategies with support for sleep, stress and mindset so lasting change feels achievable - not overwhelming. Whether your goal is to rebalance hormones, improve digestion, support healthy skin, or achieve sustainable weight loss, I focus on identifying the root causes rather than just treating symptoms.
