Metabolic Dysfunction
Struggling with insulin resistance, blood sugar fluctuations, high cholesterol or unexplained changes in your metabolic health?
At Resolve Health Naturopathy, we provide personalised support for metabolic health, from early metabolic disturbances to diagnosed metabolic conditions.
We use functional blood work analysis to look beyond individual blood test results identifying potential nutritional, hormonal, inflammatory, gastrointestinal and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your metabolic dysfunction.
Whether you’re managing insulin resistance, elevated cholesterol, fatty liver disease or unexplained changes in your blood glucose regulation, our aim is to help you better understand your metabolic health and develop an individualised treatment plan.

How We Differ
Metabolic health involves much more than blood glucose and cholesterol levels alone.
Many people believe that poor diet alone is what causes metabolic health dysfunctions. But it is much more than that! How many times have you seen people with horrible diets appear completely healthy while you have to restrict what you eat constantly?
Glucose regulation, insulin signaling, lipid metabolism and liver function definitely do interact with nutritional status. But they can also be affected by thyroid function, inflammation, gastrointestinal health, physical activity, the nervous system, sleep and hormonal systems. This means that metabolic disorders and diseases can be targeted from multiple angles and the root cause of your metabolic dysfunction might not be what you think.
We know that managing blood glucose levels can be difficult. And controlling cholesterol levels seems impossible without medications. By addressing the multiple factors that contribute to these disturbances together, we can help create a marked shift in your health.
For example, treating diabetes with metformin works. But sleep restriction can decrease insulin sensitivity by up to 30-40%. Addressing lifestyle factors that improve testosterone alongside by 27% in men contributes to reduced insulin resistance by 47% and managing stress and nervous system reactivity has shown reductions in HbA1c by around .84 points.
These 3 targets are just 3 examples of other ways we can target metabolic disorders. They all play a role in diabetes management and progression beyond diet alone. This is why we, at Resolve Health, target multiple aspects of clients’ health together to see better client outcomes.
Our aim is to identify relevant disturbances and develop targeted treatment strategies that support metabolic regulation, cardiovascular health and long-term well-being alongside appropriate medical care.
