Nutrition is widely recognised as one of the most powerful and modifiable environmental factors influencing health. It is an essential part of the integrated healthcare we offer at Sydney North Women’s Health.
Our allied health clinically trained nutritionist, Petra Hooyenga, provides personalised, evidence-based nutrition support for women and men of all ages. Petra conducts a thorough assessment of your health history, diet, lifestyle and goals, frequently incorporating nutrigenomic DNA testing for targeted therapeutic recommendations. Using protocols such as Gut Ecology and Metabolic Modulation (G.E.M.M.) she empowers clients to be an active participant in using food as medicine to restore balanced cellular, digestive, hormonal and immune function.
Nutritional support is offered for the following:
- Preventative health optimisation and longevity
- Hormonal imbalances and PCOS
- Fertility, preconception and pregnancy
- Menopause and perimenopause
- Metabolic health and insulin resistance
- Gut health and digestive concerns
- Immune support and chronic fatigue
- Weight management and energy optimisation
Self-referrals and specialist referrals are welcome. Petra collaborates closely to integrate nutrition into your care plan and improve recovery and health outcomes.
