Naturopath Torquay, South Yarra, South Melbourne

Tim Altman is a qualified naturopath who has been practicing naturopathic services and wellness in Melbourne from clinics in South Yarra, Port Melbourne and South Melbourne as well as Torquay, Victoria for many years. Naturopathic consultations take a holistic approach to the overall health and wellness of the client rather than simply focusing on symptoms. There are several modalities used in an initial naturopathic consultation so that Tim can gain insight into the internal make up and functioning of the client. He then designs specific programs based around nutrition, exercise and herbal medicines to help improve the clients' overall health.

Naturopathy tends to focus on prevention rather than cure, with an aim to maintaining optimal wellness within the client. With naturopathics, Tim can deliver health care to treat a range of conditions including:

  • Arthritis and joint pains

  • Skin disorders (Psoriasis, eczema)
  • Colds and flu

Just Because You're Not Sick Doesn't Mean You're Healthy

The leading causes of death in developed countries are chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and diseases related to obesity such as diabetes. These all have in common: 

  • An insidious onset - they develop slowly without us being aware of it.
  • By the time symptoms are present the disease is generally advanced.
  • All are largely preventable via lifestyle - nutrition, exercise, relaxation etc.

Conventional medicine deals with health from the lower to middle end of a spectrum that ranges from extreme pathology, bordering on death, to the ultimate human potential of health and vitality.

Most of us exist somewhere in this middle section of the spectrum where no apparent pathology is displayed, yet we all experience occasional colds and flu's, fatigue and lethargy, headaches, depression, aches and pains, gastrointestinal upsets etc.

This is hardly functioning at our optimum and statistics suggest conventional medicine failing to prevent the chronic diseases many eventually develop. 

Don't wait until you're sick before you make a commitment to your health. Just as you regularly see a trainer, clean your house or have your car serviced, make a commitment to checking up on your own health once every month. 

This can be done by:

What you do now will enhance the quality of your life and make a huge difference to what you may or may not suffer from later.
