At MTHFR Support we are a team of Naturopaths and Nutritionists that specialise in understanding your genetic susceptibility to disease. We uncover any genetic deficiencies that might affect your ability to recover from illness. We look at genetic susceptibility to disease and understand where your biochemistry is letting you down. This significantly affects your ability to cope with environmental influences like infection, mould, candida etc. We work way deeper than most practitioners: by understanding what your genes are doing, it’s truly individualised medicine and the practitioners will be able to devise a plan that is specific to you.
Naturopaths and Nutritionists at our clinic both work to identify and treat the root cause of your health concerns by utilising pathology and functional testing. They both incorporate a variety of diet and lifestyle modifications in combination with supplementation into your treatment protocol. However, Naturopaths have also been trained to utilise homoeopathic and herbal medicine as part of their treatment protocol where necessary.
At MTHFR Support our practitioners will work with you to identify and treat the root cause of your health concerns. This 90 minute appointment will involve thorough case history taking and analysis of your New Patient Profile, in combination with pathology, functional testing and genetic analysis (if you have it). Your practitioner will use this information to create a treatment protocol that combines diet and lifestyle modifications in combination with supplementation and recommend any further testing that may be required.
In preparation for an initial appointment we require all new patients to complete a New Patient Profile and Patient Health Contract. These documents must be submitted ideally 1 week prior to your appointment and no later than 48 business hours prior to your appointment to allow your practitioner time to properly prepare.
To get the most out of your initial appointment we recommend that you get this list of recommended bloods tested (preferably no more than 6 months old). In addition to this, we recommend genetic testing through SmartDNA. This test covers over 160 DNA changes. The Genomic Wellness Test is the most affordable, scientifically up to date and comprehensive analysis with action steps to assist the practitioner with a personalised optimal wellness program for their client. This information will give your practitioner an understanding of your genetic predisposition and current biochemistry, to enable them to tailor a treatment plan to optimise metabolic, endocrine and neurological health.
Please note: Although these are recommended, they are not essential for you to complete your initial appointment and if you would prefer to discuss further testing with your practitioner, please let our booking team know.
These documents must be submitted ideally 1 week prior to your appointment and no later than 48 business hours prior to your appointment to allow your practitioner time to properly prepare.
Please note if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment please contact reception on (02) 9908 1888 or email info@mthfrsupport.com.au. We require 48 business hours notice, or the full fee of the appointment will be charged using the credit card details stored on file.

As Of April 1, 2019 The Federal Government has stopped the rebate of Naturopathy services. However, some health funds do still rebate Nutrition appointments under Extras cover, such as NIB, HBF, AHM, CUA Health and Westfund.
Our treatment is highly individualised and it is therefore extremely difficult to say. A good way to look at it is, for every year you have a condition allow a month to address it. So if you have been sick for 10 years, it will take 10 months for you to see results. However many of our patients will see results within weeks.
