At Utopia we offer consultations with fully qualified, caring Naturopaths. Initial consultations take 60 minutes, where the Naturopath carefully assesses your medical history and develops a treatment strategy with you. Follow-up consultations generally last for 30 minutes. At Utopia, we use a number of specialised diagnostic tools to allow us to tailor a treatment program for you. Using these tools is a way for us (and you) to measure the treatment programs success. Two of the key diagnostic tests that we use are detailed below, we also test for zinc deficiency if required. All 3 tests are included as part of your consultation fee (if the Practitioner deems they are required).
Iridology
Watch the video ! This is a very informative video discussing the principals of Iridology.
Iridology is the study of the Iris, the coloured part of the eye. The Iris reveals changing conditions of the bodies organs. Through various marks, signs and discolouration of the Iris, nature reveals inherited weaknesses and strengths. Iridology cannot detect a specific disease, however, it can tell our patients if they have over or under-activity in specific areas of their body.
Iridology is a safe, non-invasive and painless test using 'state of the art' digital equipment. It is not a treatment therapy, but rather a diagnostic tool which may detect underlying signs of a developing disease. The goal of Iridology therefore is to recognise health problems at their earliest stages and to suggest ways to keep disease from developing.
Cellular Health Analysis
Cellular Health Analysis, or CHA, is a test method that provides a 'snapshot' of your health, including your biological age. We benchmark your CHA measurements taken at your initial consultation and take repeat CHA measurements at each subsequent consultation. We compare your ongoing readings with your benchmarked CHA results as a way to monitor the success of your treatment program. Our patients often see their biological age reducing over the course of their treatment period.
CHA measures the 6 key biomarkers of ageing:
· Fat mass · Muscle mass · Biological age (the actual age at which your body is performing) · Cellular toxicity · Cellular fluid levels · Cellular vitality
The CHA test is:
· Quick and painless · Accurate · Safe
· Scientifically objective
The CHA test may assist you:
· Specifically target areas that need attention · Reverse the ageing process · Restore your vitality
