Naturopathic Health
Joanne D'Urso
Functional Medicine Practitioner, Naturopath & Nutritionist, mANP, mNNA
Functional Medicine has been around for centuries but has been mostly unheard of here in the UK. However, its popularity with those working in the medical sector, natural health sectors and amongst the general public is a positive change for people's health.
Functional Medicine aims to get to the root of health problems rather than simply addressing the symptoms. It focuses on the cause rather than the symptoms themselves. I believe if you give the body all of the tools it needs, it has the ability to heal itself. Naturopathic Health is for those who are looking to optimise their health with an individual and personalised approach.
My ultimate aim as a practitioner is to empower and educate people to take control of their own health, to help people in a state of disease live a healthier, better quality of life and to support people in disease prevention. I work by Naturopathic principles and I believe it's possible to be free of disease and increase the feeling of well-being by nutrition, correcting nutritional deficiencies and gut health imbalances, lifestyle changes, stress management, movement and good quality sleep. In some cases I recommend herbal or homeopathic remedies in symptom management while working on root cause of imbalances. I may use Iridology, which is a non invasive method of viewing the iris as a guide to determine any predispositions to where health conditions may exist.

Iridology may show possible genetic and hereditory traits that you may carry to help guide us to support your body with imbalances and underlying causes. Iridology is never used a diagnostic tool.
"I suffered many years with abdominal pain. Since Joanne was recommended to me, my overall energy and well being has improved substantially with no more pain. I can't thank her enough" Emma.
"I hadn't had a period for years. After working with Joanne I got my first normal period after 5 years. No more hormonal symptoms and no more acne. I feel confident for the first time in years" Lisa.
"Over many years, I've tried to find solutions to my digestive and sleep problems, but have always been disappointed. Joanne inspired confidence straight away, the results I've seen so far have been little short of miraculous." Sarah
"From my symptoms, Joanne recognised my blood sugars were out of balance. Luckily she was able to support me in diet and lifestyle changes to bring my blood sugar levels back to normal" Christian.
"I was getting severe hive reactions on and off for a year and constantly taking anti-histamines, that wasn't really working. After seeing Joanne for a couple of months they completely disappeared. I find naturopathic medicine and what she does fascinating. Seeing Joanne has completely changed the way I look at my health "Amanda.

Values
The power of food and knowing what foods are right for you is largely underestimated. A visit to the Naturopathic Health Clinic is more than just an appointment - it can be life changing.
I offer a relaxing, caring environment with a passion for finding the "Why" behind your symptoms, instead of just putting a band aid over the problem. Helping people make sustainable changes for better health is what makes me go that extra mile for my clients.
"If someone wishes for good health, one must first ask oneself if he is ready to do away with the reasons for his illness, only then is it possible to help him" Hippocrates
