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, lifestyle changes, stress management, movement and good quality sleep.

"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.

The power of food and knowing what foods are right for you is largely underestimated. A visit to my 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. 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
