OWN Health: Naturopathy, Nutrition & Fitness - Brisbane

At OWN Health, our naturopathy services focus upon the use of evidence-based nutrition and herbal medicine to support the appropriate biochemical pathways and optimise the body's ability to heal and thrive. In order to provide the most appropriate and individualised approach, naturopathy consultations are very thorough and can last for a much longer period of time than those of allopathic medicine. Initial consultations can last for up to 1.5 hours, and will provide you with the time to explain the reason(s) for your appointment in depth and to ask any questions about our services or how we may be able to help you. A series of health-related questions will be asked regarding your medical history, diet, and lifestyle. You may also be asked to fill out some written questionnaires.
