Areas of specialty and approach to treatment

Jo takes a comprehensive approach which is evidence-based and relies on both traditional knowledge and scientific clinical trials to formulate her treatment protocols for a wide variety of health concerns. She has a special interest in gut health and is passionate about finding the root cause of ongoing gut issues, such as, constipation, diarrhoea, cramping, bloating, wind, indigestion, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), parasites, leaky gut, bacterial overgrowths, food intolerances and much more. Using the latest scientific microbiome testing and/or breath testing she can assess and see what is living in the gut and help balance and restore order.

She is also experienced in treating a wide range of disorders including:

• Hormone imbalances such as PCOS, PMS, menopause, endometriosis, irregular periods, fibroids, fertility
• Figuring out the underlying cause of fatigue such as adrenal fatigue, mitochondrial dysfunction, anaemia, thyroid dysfunction, chronic fatigue syndrome or something else
• Children’s health such as autism, ADHD, frequent infections, healthy nutrition
• Mental health such as depression, anxiety, insomnia
• Weight management issues
• Nutrigenomics / genetic testing

She also enjoys working with people who require a general health check-up to assess baseline health markers. Jo has an integrative approach and will work with your doctor or other health practitioner when required.

Educating her patients is also something Jo is passionate about and getting to the root cause of their health concerns, to help them to take control of their health and long-term wellbeing. She often utilises a combination of the latest scientific testing using blood, stool tests or microbiome assessments, urine, saliva, DNA and hair tissue mineral analysis. The results provide essential information to assist her in the treatment and management of a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions, for patients seeking a holistic approach to health.

Jo achieves fantastic results by allowing time to really listen to her patients, testing appropriately and a thorough medical history. She uses a combination of complementary treatment approaches, depending on an individual’s presentation, including herbal medicines and nutritional supplements to maximise wellness, which is always combined with dietary therapy and lifestyle advice to help her patients achieve optimal health.

Jo has a special interest in DNA Genomic Wellness testing. By doing a simple one-only test you can discover your DNA blueprint and learn how well your genes are matched to your present diet and lifestyle as well as how you can unlock the full potential of your current and future health and wellness. Jo can help create gene-specific dietary guidelines to help you choose the correct foods for your genotype.

Jo’s passion for helping people live happier, healthier lives, together with her exceptional clinical skills, makes her a valued member of the Remède clinical team.
