The Health Concept
Hi, I’m Marta
You can think of me as a wellness detective, helping people uncover the root causes of their illness. My journey into holistic health began with my own struggles, chronic fatigue, mould toxicity, Lyme disease, and endometriosis, which led me on a quest for root causes. I discovered the power of naturopathy and functional medicine to truly heal from within. Now, I’m on a mission to help you do the same.
A bit more about my health journey
-
My health journey began in 2009 while living in London. A fast-paced lifestyle and irregular hours working in hospitality took a toll on my body, then sudden grief tipped my health over the edge. I began experiencing frequent colds, alternating between sinus infections and head colds, along with fatigue and sudden adult-onset allergies.
In 2011, when I relocated to Dubai, things took a turn for the worse. Extreme exhaustion, chronic gut issues, excessive hair loss, and severe food intolerances became part of my daily life. In 2013 I returned to Sydney and started searching for answers. Despite undergoing countless tests, I was told everything was “normal,” and that it might be “all in my head.” Frustrated and still unwell, I knew there had to be more to the story. I turned to complementary and alternative medicine. Functional testing finally revealed what had been missed: mould toxicity, severe iron deficiency, parasites, heavy metals, and a salicylate intolerance. With the right support, by 2015 my health had significantly improved.
But the journey wasn’t over. After moving into a 1920s harbourside apartment in 2017, my symptoms returned, this time with a vengeance. I battled chronic fatigue from the moment we moved in, recurring Epstein-Barr virus outbreaks with glandular fever symptoms, several various Lyme disease symptoms, unexplained chronic pain, and worsening gut issues. In 2020, after extensive testing I discovered the apartment building was severely water-damaged, and our apartment classified as uninhabitable. Moving out became the catalyst for transformation.
Through naturopathic medicine, herbal remedies, nutraceuticals, acupuncture, infrared saunas and rebounding, I slowly but surely reclaimed my wellbeing and vitality.
Today, I specialise in helping others do the same. I focus on uncovering the root causes of chronic health conditions such as mould illness, Lyme disease, gut disorders, thyroid issues, autoimmune diseases, and hormonal imbalances. I blend science, herbal wisdom, and a touch of humour to make healing a grounded, empowering, and uplifting experience, guiding you on your path to lasting wellness.
My Approach
A Holistic Approach to Health
The Health Concept embraces the naturopathic principle of treating the body as an interconnected whole. I believe that true healing occurs when all aspects of the body are addressed together, rather than focusing on isolated symptoms or organs. This holistic approach promotes long-term wellness by restoring balance and harmony within the body.
Your Health Journey
I like to think of myself as a wellness detective. A naturopathic consultation with me begins with a comprehensive review of your entire health history. This deep dive helps uncover patterns, triggers, and potential root causes of your health issues.
Functional Testing and Analysis
To uncover the root cause of your symptoms, we use functional testing including:
General blood testing
Gut health and microbiome mapping: Co-Biome, OAT test (Organic acids test)
Genetic testing: Advanced Pathways Test (Smart DNA)
Nutrient and toxicity panels for heavy metals and nutrient deficiencies: Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)
Hormonal testing: DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones), Full Thyroid Panels including reverse T3 and antibodies
Mould and Biotoxin Illness testing: Mycotoxin testing (urine-based), VCS testing (visual contrast sensitivity for CIRS), MARCoNS nasal swabs
A Personalised Path to Healing
By combining a thorough health history with targeted functional testing, we work together to uncover the underlying causes of your symptoms. From there, we develop a personalised treatment plan designed specifically for your needs. This may include a detailed interpretation of your test results, dietary and lifestyle guidance, herbal and nutritional supplementation, low-tox living strategies, and recommendations for additional therapies that may support your healing journey.
