Meet Kate

Expert Naturopath & Top Gut Microbiome Test Specialist in Australia

I’m Kate Troup, a Sydney naturopath with 30 years of clinical experience. After 11 years as Senior Naturopath at MTHFR Support Australia, I now combine DNA testing, microbiome science and functional pathology to help women resolve gut, hormone and fatigue issues that other practitioners haven’t been able to.

For three decades, I’ve worked with people who feel unwell but can’t get answers. Many of my clients look “fine” from the outside, but inside they’re exhausted, foggy, bloated, inflamed, anxious, overwhelmed, and frustrated that standard tests keep coming back “normal”.

If you’ve been told “everything seems fine” but you don’t feel it… You’re exactly who I help.

Across my 30-year career, I’ve developed deep expertise in gut health, genetics (including MTHFR and hundreds of additional gene variations), microbiome analysis, hormones, and detoxification.

My 11 years as Senior Naturopath at MTHFR Support Australia gave me rare clinical exposure to complex cases and advanced genetic patterns that most practitioners never get to see. Today, I combine naturopathy, functional pathology, genetics and microbiome science to give people the clarity, answers and personalised plan they’ve been searching for.

My Approach:
Where Science Meets Natural Healing

Your symptoms aren’t random — they’re messengers.

No guesswork. No one-size-fits-all plans.

Just clear, personalised insight into what your body needs — and how to support it.

Who I Work With

I specialise in supporting people who:

  • Have persistent fatigue or low stamina

  • Experience bloating, IBS, reflux or unpredictable digestion

  • Struggle with brain fog, memory or mental clarity

  • Notice hormone shifts (especially 35–55)

  • Feel overwhelmed, anxious or “wired and tired”

  • Have complex or long-standing symptoms

  • Keep being told their tests are normal

  • Suspect genes or gut issues are involved

  • Want a practitioner who actually listens and investigates

My Background, Qualifications & Training

  • 30 years of clinical experience as a qualified naturopath

  • 11 years as Senior Naturopath at MTHFR Support Australia

  • Jason Hawrelek Certified Healthy Gut Practitioner

  • Microba Clinical Grade Microbiome Certified

  • Ongoing education in gut–immune interactions, genetics and microbiome science

  • Fellow of ATMS professional association

  • SmartDNA certified DNA Practitioner

My Philosophy & How We Work Together

Clients often tell me they finally feel understood after years of feeling dismissed.

  • Listen to your full story — not just your symptoms

  • Connect the dots between gut, genes, hormones, and lifestyle

  • Explain clearly why you feel the way you do

  • Use testing strategically (not excessively)

  • Create simple, realistic plans that work in real life

  • Support you with warmth, intelligence, honesty and compassion

Why This Work Matters to Me

Over the years, I’ve seen thousands of people transform once they understand the real root cause of their symptoms.

  • When digestion improves…

  • When inflammation drops…

  • When gene pathways are supported…

  • When hormones stabilise…

  • When energy comes back…

People become themselves again — mentally, physically and emotionally.

Seeing that shift is why I do this work, and why I’ve dedicated 30 years to helping people feel clearer, lighter, more energised and more resilient.
