Welcome to Root Cause Recovery

Hi, my name is Jo, and I founded Root Cause Nutrition and Wellness Clinic to help you regain your health by optimising your diet and addressing the root cause of your health conditions and bothersome symptoms.

Due to personal health issues with hormones, histamine intolerance and mast cell activation for many years, I know how lonely and frustrating it can be when you want to feel well but have no idea where to start or what is causing an imbalance or reaction within your body. That is why I decided to study nutritional therapy, looking into the root cause of health issues rather than just masking symptoms with medication.

I began my nutrition studies in 2018 and graduated from the College of Naturopathic Medicine, completing three years of biomedicine and nutrition with 200 hours of clinical training. I now enjoy running a busy practice, sharing my knowledge and enabling clients to balance their hormones and reclaim their health, energy, and zest for life!.

Having been previously diagnosed with breast cancer, I am passionate about supporting women in reversing hormone imbalances. I aim to educate others on how specific dietary and lifestyle choices, combined with hormone testing, can be utilised as preventive measures to reduce the risk of disease within the body.

For those of you on a restricted diet due to symptoms of food intolerance and multiple chemical sensitivity (histamine/salicylates/oxalate) I can help you pinpoint and address any imbalances, or co-infections that are causing immune system-overreactivity and poor detoxification, so that, like me, you can once again enjoy a wide range of foods to support your overall health without sensitivities and reactions.

Since graduating, I have completed many hours of further education. I am always learning, as science is forever evolving. One area I am interested in is the cutting-edge study of nutrigenomics, which examines the impact that specific nutrients can have on the function of our genes.

I have found this to be hugely beneficial within my healing journey, enabling me to make personalised interventions to support my body and regain my health. Upon completing further studies to become a nutrigenomics practitioner, I offer DNA testing for a truly personalised approach to your healing journey.

As a naturopathic nutritionist, I offer supportive, non-judgmental one-on-one consultations and guidance throughout your programme, assisting you in creating nourishing meals that make healthy eating a joy.

I clarify complex biochemical processes into understandable information and help pinpoint the root causes of your health issues. From there, I develop a clear action plan that outlines sustainable steps to achieve your health goals.

Your hormones impact every system in your body and play a fundamental role in your energy, mood, immunity, digestive health and much more!.

Let me help you regain your health :)
