Kate Porter Naturopathy

Discover how to find the FOODS YOU CAN EAT getting to the root cause of your symptoms naturally so you don't have to suffer through life.
Using Bio-compatibility hair testing you are going to learn which foods YOU CAN EAT! This takes the guess work out of finding food intolerances, so you can put a stop to your chronic symptoms preventing you from living a full and healthy life, and enjoy food again. Additionally the benefit of repairing your gut in this process allows long term lasting results.

No more wasting time and money trying special diets and eliminating random foods, leaving you feeling as though you have nothing left to eat! You will find out which foods are individually Bio-compatible to you and your body, giving you freedom from digestive symptoms which puts you back in control of your digestive system and your life, all without invasive testing.

"Genes may predispose to a digestive disorder however it is your lifestyle that determines whether you control your digestive disorder or your digestive disorder controls you."
Andrew Gaeddert MD.

Bio-Compatibility Hair Testing

There is no point giving you supplements if your digestive tract is so inflamed that you cannot absorb them. They may give you symptom relief, but are really just masking the underlying problem. We need to fix the inflammation and immune dysfunction so you can digest and assimilate nutrients from foods and stay healthy.

We generally eat the same foods everyday and it is quite possible they are having an impact on your immune system, no matter how healthy they are for you. Once we find the food you can eat, treatment can attend to any other matters of concern such as fertility, detox, weight loss, etc., but we have to make the diet change a priority at first for long term health.

The benefit of doing the hair test is that we test for 400 foods and products. The products include things you are exposed to everyday such as deodorants, kitchen and laundry cleaning products, toothpaste, shampoo and sunscreen, etc. We even test for chocolate!

The Bio-Compatibilty test report gives you a list of foods YOU CAN EAT on a 6-month program. In this time your body is able to repair, and on re testing, foods may be able to be re- introduced.

There is a test for babies, animals, and Indian foods; You can even do this program from another country. Skype or phone for consults are used where clients cant get to Brisbane.

You will see a lasting change because the programme is working at the very root of the issue and not just masking the symptoms but allowing your body to repair.

Call me today to take the guess work out of food intolerances and enjoy food again!

Bookings are essential, phone 0404 625 033. Kate looks forward to assisting clients in achieving health and wellbeing naturally.

My personal story of IBS-C and food intolerance

Irritable Bowel Syndrome has been a part of my life since I can remember, having been born into an extended family of food intolerances, it seems as soon as I was weaned onto cows milk at 6 months my life of chronic tummy and bowel symptoms began. I was also continually sick with tonsillitis until their removal at 5 years of age, so I had consumed loads of antibiotics killing off any good bacteria I had developed (also causing Candida and thrush but that’s just a complementary symptoms for those of us with a leaky gut), which in the process disrupted my immune system all the more, and by age 7 had my appendix out too, but in those days diet change wasn't a consideration and wasn't even an option like it is now.

Prunes were introduced, becoming a regular part of my diet but I could eat heaps with nothing happening, and at the last resort a laxative would be recommended. This of course moved everything along but was very painful process…hence my resistance as a child to listen to the call of nature, and the holding on started…especially at school. It is very common for children to avoid going to the bathrooms when first starting school, and often when a lifetime of problems begins.

My diet consisted of the usual highly processed foods, Weetbix with cows milk, peanut butter sandwiches (white bread only), minimal fruit, meat and 3 veg with tin fruit and ice cream, washed down with a milo (with as many teaspoons as we could sneak in the glass) and cows milk. Soft drink was for special occasions but cordial was always available. It was a pretty ordinary diet of the time with fish and chips the only takeaway, but I loved to dip my chips into milk...yum I was totally addicted to milk!

High school in the early 80’s had us following the latest fashions of skinny jeans but there was no stretch then, so pulling on a pair of tight jeans often required laying on the bed and using a coat hanger to pull up the zipper….very tight jeans. This was fine, but if I ate I bloated, and not wanting to undo my jeans while out, lead to excruciating pain and cramping which went on all night even after the jeans came off. The other problem with eating out was the need to use the bathroom in a hurry but not wanting to… (holding on again), as I didn’t want my friends to have to wait for me or miss out on anything. I could take ages in the bathroom and often with little to no results for my effort. Then my problem worsened by to not wanting to go to anyone’s toilet but my own at home.

Constipation and bloating /pains have been a constant over my life and continued all through each pregnancy and years after, so I moved over to a more natural laxative product with little benefit. Iron pills and fibre just made my condition worse! I came to just accept this as how I was and didn’t even consider looking for alternatives, but always dreamt their must be something that could fix me and all the intolerances in my family.

It wasn’t until I visited a Naturopath with one of my daughters in desperation, that I found out about food intolerances. She would lie on the footpath on the way home from Kindy in pain refusing to walk a step more, having had milk for morning tea. The Naturopath diagnosed her with Lactose intolerance. Yay! Well you know what I mean…a solution! She had spent the first 5 years of her life with a pain in the belly and constant diarrhoea. I didn’t think she would ever be toilet trained, but removing dairy was a simple thing to do and she was sorted, and not just that, she was a much happier little person in herself. There was an underlying cause! I knew it! Eczema had also popped up on 2 of my girl’s faces and all the creams in the world didn't seem to help. I thought it was just in the family as my husband had eczema as a baby, little did I know then that it related to digestive dysfunction too!

I decided on a career change from Nursing to Naturopathy, and found that there is an underlying cause to everyone’s problems..... but they are individual and there is no magic pill that fixes everyone with the same symptoms. We were taught that all diseases begin in the gut (Hippocrates, 460-370 BC) and that made perfect sense to me.

Naturopaths love to change your diet, and may use the elimination diet, or start with known problem foods like wheat and dairy, but I felt they were blanket type solutions. I wanted to know what foods suited each individual, and used Kinesiology muscle testing to find foods that were not suited to clients, but it was often difficult to test for lots of foods.

I was introduced to Bio-Compatibility Hair testing in 2010 and it has become an invaluable part of my practice. Instead of eliminating random foods, the test shows you which foods are incompatible to YOU, and in the process allows the gut to repair. The best is you get a list of foods you can eat.

Little babies can’t tell you their symptoms, but a hair (or saliva/nails if no hair) test can tell you that some foods are causing inflammation in their bodies, leading to their seemingly unrelated symptoms of eczema, recurring ear infections, colic, or digestive disorders and the list goes on. Removing these foods brings such relief to mums of babies who cry all the time and cannot be soothed. We have had some babies in our family that cried from birth, and I wish this technology had been available for them back then.

Of course I have had all my family Bio-Compatibility hair tested with amazing results. My IBS-C resolved almost instantly when avoiding cows yogurt and full cream milk, but chicken, spices, drinking chocolate, some stock cubes, capsicum, peas, prunes (I knew it), white bread, pasta sauce, rice, and lettuce came up to avoid, and resolved the itchy nose, chemical sensitivity, and muscle aches and pains over the 6 month avoidance. I have chosen to stay off dairy and a lot of wheat but that’s a person choice.

You too could feel confident when eating again and not have to worry about where the nearest bathroom is. Don’t waste time and money trying special diets, but find the foods compatible to you and your body. Bio-Compatibility takes the guesswork out of food intolerances so you can enjoy food again with a list of foods YOU CAN EAT

What can a Naturopath do for you?
A Naturopath treats each client as an individual, taking into consideration all aspects of the body and its function, including structural, biochemical and emotional aspects, which are equally important when forming a correct treatment plan.

Everyone has an individual set of symptoms unique to them, giving clues to what is actually going on in the body. Kates aim is not to just eliminate your symptoms and declare you well, but instead uses these to find the underlying cause or reasons why you feel unwell. In the long run this thorough investigative work leads to correct initial treatment, preventing illness developing into a chronic on-going condition.

A detailed history is taken along with a physical assessment, iris analysis (Iridology), tongue and nails, urinary indicans test, heavy metal test, blood type, bioimpedence test, muscle testing (Kinesiology), and referral for pathology testing or hair analysis as required.

The first appointment is generally 1 1/2 hours, with following appointments of 30 minutes to 1 hour which includes a review of current treatment and continued education and support. A series of visits is usual for lasting results.
Kate’s job as your Naturopath is to support and teach you how to regain health and maintain it, giving you back responsibility for your own health.

What to bring to a Consultation?

Please bring along any prescribed medication or supplements that you are currently taking, and any recent medical tests including blood tests and /or X-rays.

Naturopathy:

Kate’s professional advice will save you time, stress, and money, when looking for the cause of illness as well as addressing the symptoms, treating your whole body. If you have tried many treatments without success, or want to alleviate symptoms that you thought you just had to live with, then Naturopathy may very likely work for you. Treatments are non-invasive and work to strengthen and support your body as a whole bringing about well being. Supplements and herbal formulas dispensed are “practitioner-only” products of the highest quality from known and trusted sources, and are used to form an individualized treatment regime which you can manage and make an integral part of your every day living

Nutritional Medicine:

Many conditions deplete your body’s nutrient levels, and many food choices can upset proper body function such as bowels, sinuses, blood sugar etc. One mans food can be another’s poison, but when taking into consideration your individual needs, we can eliminate deficiency states and support the body to function properly given the right foods and supplements as required. Patients are supported with information on diet and foods, allowing them to make an informed choice about what they put into their body, and the effects they may have.

Herbal Medicine:

Most herbs used today have been clinically or scientifically tested to prove their efficacy & safety. The healing constituents of herbs are extracted from the plant, and the properties of each herb considered when putting together a formula treating individual symptoms. No two clients have the same symptoms, therefore each combination of herbs is individualized to meet the needs of the client. Herbs are available in various forms such as tinctures (liquids), tablets, capsules, or dried.

Iridology:

An Iridology assessment covers genetic and lifestyle impacts on your health, and is a good diagnostic tool. The iris is divided into sections relating to different parts of the body, with the findings often supporting other clinical symptoms enabling the appropriate course of treatment, and /or indicates the need for more specific investigations like pathology tests and questionnaires to locate the causative factors.

Touch for Health:

Touch for Health is a form of Kinesiology, where muscle testing is performed through clothing, to balance the bodies energy system, supporting physical, emotional and biochemical aspects. Touch, massage, stress release, food testing, sound, color, and acupuncture, or energy pathways are used which speed up healing and helps prevent ill health.

Urinary Indicans Test:

Urinary Indicans testing is an accurate, simple urine screening tool, allowing identification of your gastrointestinal wellbeing. A positive test reflects a state of intestinal bacterial dysbiosis (proliferation of non beneficial bacterium). Current dietary and lifestyle practices have produced an increasing number of health disorders caused by a malfunctioning digestive system and consequent toxicity.

Bioimpedence Analysis:

A great tool to understanding your bodys state of inner health. The BIA measures your percentage of body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat (fat around your organs), total body water, bone mass, basal metabolic rate, and your metabolic age (indicating what age your body is currently rated at.) This enables us to determine the effect of diet and exercise on the body. Includes a full color report and detailed explanations indicating a healthy range for your body.
If you want to lose weight this is an ideal way to start, giving you an indication of how much fat you need to lose. Regular BIA monitoring will encourage you to stick to your diet and exercise program when you see your fat percentage drop.

Weight Loss with the Ketosystem:

The KetoSystem is a natural fat loss system, which uses the body's own metabolism to burn fat. Available only from healthcare professionals The KetoSystem is based on a person gaining a maximum of 20% of calories from low GI (glycaemic Index) carbohydrates, 30% of calories from fat and a minimum of 50% of calories from protein.

The use of only low GI carbohydrates by The KetoSystem ensures that the body does not produce high levels of insulin. This is important as high levels of insulin will cause the body to store carbohydrates as fat and stops fat being converted to energy. This has the effect of not only making a person fat, but will keep them fat. Similarly, the high protein content of The KetoSystem is critical as it ensures the maintenance of muscle mass, the place where fat is converted to energy.

BioCompatible Hair Allergy Testing:

Many people today suffer from food intolerances. Food intolerances are accumulative and a reaction may not take place for up to four days. Often people crave the very foods they are incompatible to. It is very important that you have as many items as possible checked. Our program includes Bio Compatibility testing for 400 local foods and products. Our focus is to give you a list of safe foods you can use. We use modern electronic equipment that works from a hair sample. It is safe, accurate and has no harmful side effects.
