Testimonial

“Kate has been a hugely knowledgeable and supportive resource for me since my breast cancer diagnosis.  She keeps up with the latest research, understands the importance of prevention, and is committed to balancing naturopathic and medical approaches.  Kate is passionate about her work, she ‘practices what she preaches’ and is kind and supportive in her care.  Western medicine probably saved my life—Kate helped me build my strength, stamina and over-all well-being throughout the treatment process.”

  Heart Tune offers a comprehensive risk assessment for both heart disease and cancer, looking at not just the obvious risk factors  such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol  blood sugar problems and immune dysfunction but underlying risk factors such as sleep disorders, inflammation,  toxicity, stress,hormone imbalance etc therefore the aim is to target these other components, look at the big picture which is what HOLISTIC HEALTH is about and provide a comprehensive health assessment for your whole body , mind and spirit.

Though high blood pressure and high cholesterol can contribute to your risk of heart disease,  50% of those who have a heart attack or stroke do not have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. There are underlying risk factors that need to be addressed.  Eliminating even 2 factors can reduce your risk of cardiovascular or heart disease. It is often the accumulation of risk factors that determines whether you are low, moderate or high risk. Though heredity, age and oestrogen exposure are some of the risk factors for breast cancer, by  looking at your individualized profile we can develop a specific programme of prevention and/or support through conventional treatment that  will decrease your risk further.

If you have a family history of heart disease or cancer and want to reduce your risk  or have already been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease or cancer you can minimise your risk of reoccurence through a change in lifestyle, diet and specific well researched nutrients.
