See the Meet Dr Kate section on the Home page for more info about Kate.

Kate specialises in helping the growing population of individuals struggling with chronic illness and/or unexplained symptoms that diminish quality of life. She is on a mission to help people find the root cause/s of their symptoms and finally feel better. Kate has mostly focused on helping those suffering from CIRS/Mould Illness, but also helps those with CFS and Autoimmunity. Also see the Services page....

The main thing that sets Kate apart from other practitioners is that she ONLY works with individuals who struggle with chronic illnesses like mould illness/CIRS and autoimmunity. In other words, she's not a Jill-of-all-trades practitioner. What that means for you is that she is very focused on anything and everything that works for the individual who struggles with inflammatory chronic illness. Because Kate's focus is very narrow and she has personal experience overcoming these challenges, what you get with her is a deep level of expertise on what works to resolve the symptoms of chronic illness (or at least to minimise and manage, depending on the condition we’re talking about!). Kate has become an expert on this topic and that’s why her clients get great results that they are thrilled with. Another way Kate differs from most other providers is that she practices functionally, which is a revolutionary way of looking at diet and lifestyle that truly treats you as an individual and works with your unique needs to help you improve your health. Kate works within the principles of Functional Medicine, but with a dedicated perspective on the diet and lifestyle modification upon which those principles rely for their success (and yours). Rather than trying to fit your symptoms into a one-size-fits-all formula, Kate takes the time to get to know what is really going on in YOUR body and YOUR life.

See the Services page to find out more about Kate's systems and inclusions.

As a nutrition and lifestyle professional, it is outside Kate's scope of practice to diagnose conditions or prescribe medication. Kate will, however, work with other medical practitioners to bring her perspective and recommendations forward when appropriate (and some of those practitioners may be able to prescribe).

Kate prescribes natural medications and supplements via Natural Script, FxMed and NutriSearch, and you are always encouraged to share these recommendations with your GP for comment. Kate can also offer a 5-15% discount on iHerb products with the coupon code TSL887 and 10% off NourishMe Organics products using this purchase link and the discount code nourishme.

Kate has learned during her time in practice that she can best serve people who have a health condition, unexplained symptoms or are working to make big changes in their life. However, she's also aware that there is often an underlying health issue contributing to stubborn extra weight or a health issue that is directly correlated with being overweight (e.g. insulin resistance, diabetes, mould illness, autoimmunity). In these cases you should definitely book an Initial Consult to discuss your needs. If you are simply looking to shed a few kilos or improve athletic performance, then please contact Kate via email at nutrify@drkatehealth.com and she can refer you on to a Health Coach that is more suited to your needs. You may also benefit from doing her Inflammation Transformation 3-week Cleanse as a dietary reset protocol, so go to the webpage or email Kate for more info if this sounds like something you might be interested in.

HHANC is a fully virtual practice. This means that you can meet with Kate via Zoom from anywhere in the world. If you've signed up for a program, you will also have access to Kate via email between appointments. While this may be a new way of working for you, Kate has found that most clients grow to love the ease and convenience of having one less appointment to travel to. It’s amazing what a deep relationship can be built through these methods of communication and Kate has worked hard to hone her skills to connect with you.

Since most clients sign up for one of the longer-term programs, there are limits to the number of new clients Kate can accept per month. This unfortunately means (gently) turning away people who aren’t suited to HHANC's services and won’t get the results they would have invested in. Kate's services are NOT for those who aren’t ready to commit to their transformation, and they are NOT for those who just want a list of “eat this, not that”.

The goal is to get you feeling better than when we started, and in most cases you can expect to have many symptoms fade or in the best case scenarios, completely resolve. Chronic illness is a complex beast though, culminating after years of dysfunction bubbling away under the surface. This means the solutions are also often complex and only work if applied over time. What Kate can guarantee is that she will address the physiological terrain in which dysfunction developed by “clearing the muddy waters” using the five pillars of wellness – nutrition, sleep, movement, resilience and relationships - while also diving deeper into such areas as gut health, nervous system support and detoxification.

Kate is committed to working with individuals who are dedicated to their health and ready to receive support on their individualized journey to wellness and healing. You are expected to show up for yourself and wholeheartedly commit to the process of discovery and recovery. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone, but know that Kate will always work with you and what fits within your lifestyle. This is all about you and the resolution of your pain points, not about Kate pushing ideas that are not sustainable for you.

Within programs, sessions are generally 60-minutes long and scheduled monthly or bi-monthly. Sometimes when you're further into a 6-month or 12-month program it may be appropriate to schedule 30-minute sessions instead, but that really depends on the client and their needs. Outside of the formal sessions, it’s difficult to quantify the amount of extra time you’ll need to spend on health-related activities. It really depends on your starting point. For example, if you currently eat fast food at every meal then yes, you will likely need to spend significantly more time on prepping and cooking food. However, if you already cook most meals at home then it will simply be about shopping for healthier options, without any extra time for prepping and cooking. The same goes for other lifestyle changes – it really depends how much work you need to do!

Like many functional medicine/nutrition practices, the Holistic Health & Nutrition Clinic’s services are an out-of-pocket expense. Kate is unable to provide insurance billing codes or Medicare numbers because it is outside her scope of practice as a holistic healthcare provider.
