Turn your digestion into a formula one machine, burn fats properly and improve your elimination of toxins. Sluggish digestion can slow your metabolism, hinder weight loss, disrupt your hormones and cause low energy levels.

  • Do you experience sluggish digestion, bloating or constipation? 
  • Do you rely on coffee, red bull or sugary foods for energy? 
  • Do you feel ‘poisoned by food’ or experience fullness, nausea or discomfort after eating? 
  • Do you get 3.30 itis? Tired or cloudy during the day? Fuzzy head? 
  • Do your clothes feel tight around your middle? 
  • Do you think you may have a food intolerance but aren't sure which food is the cause?

Answered Yes? Your digestive system may be out of balance.

Natural relief & diet advice for IBS, bloated stomachs & constipation

Food is an essential and enjoyable part of our daily lives. Many of us like to eat well and would like to find out what foods are best for our bodies.

Digestive HealthUnfortunately, these days many people are experiencing problems with their digestion. Food intolerances, bloating and Irritable Bowel Syndrome are becoming very common. Have you noticed how many restaurant menu’s now offer gluten free food options?

Elysia specialises in digestive health support and has helped countless clients identify what is causing their digestive problems. The good news is that the digestive system usually responds very quickly to Naturopathic treatment.

Did you know that poor digestion can be the cause of hormone imbalance, allergies and sinus, bad skin, tiredness and can put stress on your immune system causing illness?

It is quite common to experience trouble with your digestion at some stage of your life.  There are many causes – stress, too much coffee and alcohol, overindulging in rich foods, poor liver function, tummy bugs and antibiotics can cause the digestive system to slow down temporarily, causing discomfort and poor energy levels.

Many people who come to see Elysia eat a healthy diet, but still feel like something is not right with their digestion. Elysia specialises in helping you to discover what is the cause of your digestive problem. She will teach you the common triggers of digestive problems and give you personalized suggestions regarding the best foods to help you feel well again.

"You are what you eat" couldn't be more true.  Everything you eat and drink, and the way in which you digest, absorb and eliminate your food affects many vital functions within your body.

Get the most from your food

In order to get the most from your food there are 3 digestive phases via the Gastro Intestinal Tract:

Digestion

Enzymes and acids need to be released from the stomach, liver and pancreas to break down the carbs, proteins and fats in food. Many people that experience fullness after eating, burping, wind, constipation etc do not have enough of these enzymes.

Absorption

Most absorption occurs in the small intestines.  It is very hard to tell if food is being absorbed properly and Naturopaths offer a urine analysis to check this. Sometimes after years of eating foods which don't agree with you, or after an infection, the gut lining becomes more permeable than it should be, called "Leaky Gut". Elysia will provide you with natural medicines to repair the gut wall to ensure your intestinal lining is strong and healthy and you absorb the most from your food, getting the most nutrients from your diet.

Elimination

It is most important that bowel movements occur every day. Missing days or feeling constipated, loose bowels or struggling passing bowel motions is not normal and needs to be corrected. If elimination is sluggish in the bowel, toxic material sits in the large intestine and can be re-absorbed, causing tiredness and strain on other eliminative organs.

Client Testimonial

I am 48 and had Candida for 3 years.  I was getting infections every month and sometimes twice a month.  I was seeing GP’s but they weren’t able to help me.  I was starting to lose hope of ever getting better.  I was disappointed, but mostly fed up so I decided to see a Naturopath.  I found Elysia through the internet.  After meeting with her, she told me there was a solution and she could improve my health.  I undertook some tests and was placed on herbal medicines.  I noticed a significant improvement straight away.  I couldn’t believe it!

I would definitely use Elysia’s services again if the need arose.  I found her easy to talk to you and most importantly she listened to me! Thank you Elysia! ET – East Brisbane
