WHO ARE WE
At LiveWell, we recognise that health is complex. That's why we provide an integrative approach to addressing your health concerns. While treating immediate needs is crucial for wellbeing, our focus is to go beyond symptom management to treat the underlying drivers of disease.
Why have short-term relief when you can live a life free of pain and suffering from chronic disease?Ill health and chronic disease - be it food intolerances, allergies, mental disorders, obesity, cardiovascular disease (the list is endless!) - manifest from the gut. We place gut health at the centre of healing by restoring and maintaining optimal digestive function and a balanced gut microbiome.Our services include:
Tailored dietary care plans that are practical, results-focused, and designed for long-term wellbeing—not just short-term fixes.
Advanced functional testing such as gut microbiome analysis and hair tissue mineral testing to uncover underlying drivers of dysfunction.
Clinical-grade supplements to support targeted, effective outcomes where needed.
Whether you're navigating chronic illness or simply aiming to optimise your health, we provide holistic support to meet your needs.
