Hillarys Herbal Dispensary
Dive Into Health
Your symptoms are not ‘all in your head.’
As naturopaths, we take a holistic approach to discover what is happening for you at all levels: emotional, mental and physical.
Using functional testing we identify your unique health needs. We then tailor your treatment with herbal liquids, tablets and nutritional supplements to direct the best course of action for your healing.
Your blood tests are normal, what now?
We offer functional medicine testing as a fresh perspective to what may have been overlooked in standard pathology. Using other bodily samples such a hair, saliva, urine or stools, we have laboratories analyse your chemistry and flora to ascertain where imbalance may be occurring.
What is functional medicine and why is it different?
Functional medicine takes a holistic approach to identify and address issues with chemistry, toxicity and other imbalances that may be results of accumulation or may be inherited weaknesses.
We offer four tiers of care
RELIEF
This complimentary service targets a single symptom picture such as reflux, fatigue etc. A basic script may be given to facilitate immediate relief of symptoms.
CORRECTIVE
Identifying possible underlying drivers of ill-health during the initial 60 minute consultation process. A 30 minute followup consultation is necessary to obtain test results and remedying imbalances with treatment recommendations.
SUPPORTIVE
Supporting your lifestyle and/or environmental factors that affect your health. Involves a 45 minute discussion consult & script.
LONG TERM
Learning and understanding a way to live that promotes optimal health long term. Follow up and retesting after a period of time to gauge results. Addressing new concerns as they arise.
Hi, I'm Bridget
When it comes to health, life is busy and often people ignore the small symptoms until the big symptoms appear.
I have a passion for working with patients to help them mind-map their health challenges and integrate life experiences with their health
issues.
I love working at biochemical level to help you understand your body better and discover the origin of your symptoms.
Using functional testing, my mission is to help you find answers and solutions for treatments that support vitality and balance.
At Hillary's Herbal Dispensary, we use a range of advanced functional medicine testing methods to gain deeper insights into your health:
Serum (blood testing)
HTMA – The test to do when you want answers
Hair tissue mineral analysis is a valuable screening tool that assesses nutritional stores that support healthy body responses. Imbalances manifest in physical, mental and emotional patterns and responses.
It’s the ideal test when you’ve had all your standard work ups done with nothing to see.
- Uncovers potential mineral deficiencies or imbalances that may be affecting your energy levels, hormone function, and overall health.
- Detects toxic heavy metals that can contribute to various health problems.
- Provides a comprehensive picture of your body's chemistry over the past 3 months – a unique snapshot not captured in standard blood tests.
You will never have a ‘normal’ result on a hair test, it will be unique to you and your treatment will be customised and specific to correct imbalances.
Microbiome Mapping – Exploring terrain theory
Our gut flora weighs more than our brain. If our gut has a direct line to the brain we might wonder who is ‘driving the bus.’
Microbiome mapping sorts out the who’s who in the room of gut flora. Knowing who is in the house can have a profound effect not only many digestive issues but our brain chemistry as well.
Microbial overgrowth can consume minerals leading to deficiencies. Deficiencies allow for development of signs and symptoms.
Microbiome mapping can indicate the need evicting unwanted guests and restorative treatments so your dietary resources are there for you, not for hitchhikers!
Saliva, urine and stool testing – where moods, sleep, energy and hormones show their hand
Hormones are produced by endocrine glands, neurotransmitters are produced by the nervous system. Neurotransmitters exert their effects on mood disorders, hormones, sleep, blood sugar balance, pain perception, appetite and cognition.
Quantities of both can be detected in saliva and urine respectively.
- Saliva testing offers a convenient and non-invasive way to assess hormone levels and stress markers.
- Urine Testing provides valuable insights into hormone levels and adrenal function.
Stool testing also sheds light on gut health & skin issues that can have a significant impact on your overall well-being and hormone balance.
It identifies gut imbalances that may be contributing to digestive problems, bloating, or even autoimmune conditions.
