If you’ve been told your gut is fine but you don’t feel fine, you’re exactly the client I help.

I combine clinical-grade Microba microbiome testing, functional pathology and DNA analysis to find the root cause your previous tests missed

Gut Health Naturopath Sydney

Finally Understand What’s Driving Your Gut Symptoms

Bloating. Food reactions. Constipation. Diarrhoea. Reflux. IBS. Histamine issues. When your gut is out of balance, it affects everything – your energy, mood, hormones, skin, immunity and overall quality of life.

If you’ve tried diets, probiotics, supplements and still feel like you’re guessing, it’s time to find the real cause.

Using advanced functional testing, DNA insights and over 30 years of clinical experience, I help uncover what’s actually driving your symptoms – so you can stop managing symptoms and start fixing the problem.

This is for you if:

  • You feel bloated no matter what you eat

  • You feel uncomfortable or reactive after eating

  • You’ve been told you have IBS but never found real answers

  • Your digestion changes between constipation, diarrhoea or both

  • You struggle with reflux, nausea or poor digestion

  • You react badly to supplements, probiotics or healthy foods

  • Histamine, sulphur or high-protein foods make symptoms worse

  • You have recurring SIBO, dysbiosis or gut infections

  • Your gut symptoms are affecting your hormones, skin, mood or fatigue

  • You want proper testing instead of trial-and-error guessing

What’s Really Going On

Gut symptoms are rarely random.

Bloating is not caused by “just stress.”

Constipation is not always “low fibre.”

Food intolerances are often a symptom – not the root cause.

The real drivers may include:

  • Gut dysbiosis

  • SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)

  • Low stomach acid

  • Histamine intolerance

  • Poor bile flow

  • Parasites or infections

  • Inflammation and immune activation

  • Nervous system dysregulation

  • Hormonal imbalances affecting digestion

  • Genetic pathways impacting detoxification, methylation and gut repair

The goal is not another restrictive diet.

The goal is understanding why your body is reacting in the first place.

What You Walk Away With

You leave with clarity.

Not another list of supplements.

You’ll understand:

  • What is actually driving your symptoms

  • Why previous treatments may not have worked

This means less confusion, less wasted money, and faster progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need testing before I book?2026-05-08T02:26:17+00:00

No. Many patients come with no testing at all, while others bring years of previous results. Both are fine.

Can you help if I’ve already been diagnosed with IBS or SIBO?2026-05-08T02:26:59+00:00

Yes.
Many people have been given a label, but not a true explanation of why it keeps happening.

The focus is always root cause, not just symptom management.

Do you work with histamine intolerance?2026-05-08T02:30:53+00:00

Yes.
Histamine issues are often connected to gut function, immune activation, genetics and nervous system regulation – not just high-histamine foods.

Yes.
Consultations are available Australia-wide via telehealth.

Will I need lots of supplements?2026-05-08T02:30:29+00:00

Not necessarily.

The goal is precision, not overwhelm.
Only what is clinically useful is recommended.

Client Results

“She looked deeper, connected the dots between my gut, hormones, and overall health, and helped me understand the root cause instead of just managing symptoms.

Now I sleep through the night, tolerate more foods, have better digestion and energy, and feel like myself again. Working with Kate has completely changed my health and quality of life, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for real answers for complex gut issues.”
