​Hi, I'm Lize
​​​My interest in functional lab testing and Naturopathic health started when I could not find the answer to my daughter's persistent tummy ache. Blood tests and a basic stool test (which measures inflammation and infections only) showed that everything was "normal", but it was not normal to have tummy ache on a weekly basis, right?
It was a constant worry, we tried everything, recommended food elimination diets and giving her probiotics (which actually made her tummy ache worse), we were all puzzled and stressed!
​
Everything changed when we took her to a Naturopath and she ordered an advanced microbiome test. Turns out she had some overgrown yeast (candida) and had some low levels of commensal bacteria - she had insufficiency dysbiosis - so not enough of the good guys! Thanks to the recommendations made by our Naturopath, we were able to correct these imbalanced and after a month, no more tummy aches. Phew!​​
​
It was such a relief that we had finally found the underlying cause of my daughter's gut issue. I knew then, that I wanted to help other families. I am now a qualified Naturopath with a specialisation in Western Herbal Medicine and certified in DUTCH testing and DNA Analysis.
​In Naturopathic health, getting to the root cause of symptoms is key and this is where
functional lab testing can be helpful.
Understanding the underlying cause of symptoms helps to personalise treatment strategies, including the use of targeted high-quality supplements that are designed to support specific biological pathways.
This personalised approach allows Naturopathic care to be more precise, effective and aligned with your body’s natural healing ability, helping you achieve long-term, sustainable health.​
I look forward to our first consultation!​​
