Bio-individuality - a Personalised Approach to Healing

Have you ever tried out a diet, lifestyle practice, medication, herb or nutritional supplement that worked for somebody else, but didn’t really work for you?

Bio-individuality is the concept that every person is unique with very individualised needs. It’s the reason why your body’s nutritional requirements are completely different from the person sitting next to you, and the reason why a one size fits all approach never really works.

So what factors influence your bio-individuality?

• Stress levels

• Blood type

• Diet

• Sleep quality

• Environmental exposure

• Nutrient status

• Age

• Metabolism

• Physical activity

• Current health status

• Past medical history

• Lifestyle

• Genetic variations (SNP’s)

• Family history

• Medications

• Biological sex

• Pathology

• Gut health

• Constitution

How to work with your bio-individuality

This is where naturopathy excels. Instead of playing the guessing game, we can do a thorough case history and utilise testing to work out what your gut health is like, what your thyroid is doing, whether you’re over or undermethylating, what kind of genetic variations you have, what kind of nutrient deficiencies you have, what your hormones are doing, and the list goes on. The body is such a complex system and by finding out exactly where the imbalance is, we can give your body what it needs to restore health and prevent future illness.
