Judes health journey began as a result of undiagnosed gastro intestinal symptoms in her 20s. With natural therapies support, she began to understand the causes of her compromised health that took her on the path to wellness.
She is now a well known and respected clinical practitioner with 35 years of experience and is committed to 'listening carefully' as she's all too familiar with the distress, frustration and anxiety of not feeling heard from her own experience and hears it from many of her patients.
While symptom relief is important, Jude specialises in finding the imbalances and triggers of symptoms, especially with ongoing health concerns. This provides more than a 'band aid' treatment and is based in 'green pharmacy'. Utelising practitioner grade nutritional and herbal medicines, diet and lifestyle changes, Jude combines this with targeted pathology testing when needed to facilitate a truly wholistic treatment plan.
As an accredited training and assessment coach, Jude has created and presented numerous health programmes across varied industries, including NSW department of Health, The Institute of Psychiatry and HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomens Network) as well as facilitating her own health programmes and podcast.
She is known for her inspirational and knowledable approach in change management.
Jude also had her own radio programme covering her specific areas of interest.
Specialising in 4 major areas.
Gastrontestinal health
Jude looks to the gastrointestinal health as it pertains to all aspects of health. She calls the gut “the centre of your universe” and believes we're not only what we eat but what we absorb as a result of the state of our gut microbiome, which underlies our 'dis-ease 'patterns and allover wellness. Our gut communicates with and affects all systems of our body.
She uses microbiome testing to assess specific gut markers. This is a deep dive into the functional gut microbiota eg; viruses, bactereia, invasive pathogens, prebiotics, probiotics, inflammatory markers and much more. This helps tailor a bespoke dietary, lifestyle and natural medicines treatment regime.
Womens hormonal health.
Jude treats womens hormonal imbalances. This includes four characteristic patterns but can be a combination of them.
- Excessive oestrogen activity, manafesting as inflamation and growth, for example in fibroids, endometriosis, cervix and breast cancers.
- Deficient progesterone typically creating mood disturbences, anxiety, irritability, depression and is also involved in recurrent miscarriage and compromised fertility.
- Deficient oestrogen typically occuring in mid life, resulting in mood disturbances, hot flushes and potentially increased risk for cardiovascuar and metabolic disease such as diabetes disease because of shared underlying drivers.
