Had a good chat with Kate and we discussed a few ideas ! I’m not sure if I’m fixable but she’s having a good shot at doing that!

Very happy with MTHFR Support and the advice and support given. I found MTHFR to be a professional organisation who care about their clients

Sharalyn

I am a relatively new patient to MTHFR support, I came to them because of hearing Carolyn Ledowsky’s talk and I knew I had to find out more about the genetic SNP’s I had and how they might be impacting my health. Whilst you cannot see Carolyn, as she no longer does consultations, I am being helped by Kate Troop. I have had 3 appointments with Kate. I have had health problems for many years and I know that health is very complicated. I am learning a lot from Kate, she does not over service with tests that are not needed, nor does she prescribe multiple, expensive and difficult to source supplements. She is honest with me with the areas of my life that I need to address and she is compassionate and understanding when I have had to say that I could not manage what she has asked me to do. I also appreciate that she does not rush the appointment and I am sure that my 3 appointments have gone over the allocated time but she has not charged me extra for that. I am very grateful to have Kate’s help and guidance on my road to better health and wellbeing.
Everyone that I have dealt with at MTHFR support has been very personable, friendly and helpful.

Kathleen McG,

I worked w/ Carrie Bailey. She listened to what I had to say, which is usually a lot, and “got it” right away. She made some very useful connections for me that made sense and extensively discussed a plan involving food and supplements to try out. She sent me the plan in writing the next day w/ links to obtain the products she recommended so they were easy to find. She also sent me some recipes to try out. She tried to use supplements I already had, when possible, to keep me from spending too much money initially. After
I reviewed all the information the following day, I scheduled a meeting w/ her again to discuss the outcome of these interventions and also review the results of blood tests I have taken in the interim. She said she would be available for questions in-between session via email.
Overall, I was pleased w/ my initial contact w/ the company. Everything made sense to me. Will have to wait and see how successful the interventions will be.

Cindy L,

I met with Melanie Sheen on Tuesday and our meeting was so wonderfully illuminating. She was very receptive and understanding, provided a safe space for which to open up with some tough though important questions surrounding my history of mental health, and made me fee comfortable and inspired about my treatment journey ahead. Melanie was very efficient in providing my treatment plan. I’m very much looking forward to working with her!

Christine W,

I have been to numerous functional doctors over the years trying to get resolution for my many health issues. I was extremely impressed with Kate. Her extensive knowledge and preparation for our consult has given me hope. Additionally, the support staff is very responsive and helpful.

LEAH G,

Kate Troup had an excellent ability of analysing numerous functional tests to identify the most important red flags that require attention in my treatment plan. As another practitioner, I was really impressed by her ability to do this in 1.5 hours. Appreciate her lateral thinking and scope of knowledge.

Megan C,

I cannot recommend Melanie Sheen enough. She took the time to listen and carefully put together a treatment plan so I could see what is ahead of me. Also very supportive and knowledgeable on my health issues. I am so grateful that I found her, it took 5yrs of constant searching but I now can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you so much Melanie x

Jodie R,

The initial meeting was with a very sweet individual who definitely cared about the data but lacked the human biological understanding for which I was hopeful. I took notes and received a follow up email, presumably blessed up the chain as previously discussed, but was not granted a dynamic Q&A with a more comfortably knowledgeable person familiar with the causality of the results. I’m appreciative of the results and will be feeding them into ChatGPT for a full comprehensive summary of my results.

Doyle A,

Kristen is AWESOME! I was in a lot of pain (stomach) and GP couldn’t help, (except referral to a Gastroenterologist, who is booked until next year!). I have been losing weight because I can’t eat anything. Kristen told me what I could get OTC from the local chemist and how to take it. I had made a decision that if it didn’t ease then I was going to ER. OVERNIGHT I improved. I am SO SO GRATEFUL to Kristen. She explained what was happening, and outlined how long it should take. My relief is HUGE. Thank you. 🙏

Helen C,

Always an Informative discussion with Kristen as we continue to collaborate and exchange ideas on maximising both my lifespan and health span.

Mike H,

Jessica is an absolute God send, helps me in more ways than she will ever know.

Gavin

My appointment with Sonia Savage was both informative and helpful. I always feel that she has understood my problems and seeks to find solutions to put them right. Her knowledge of the situation is outstanding. I can honestly say that I am a lot healthier since I’ve been under MTHFR specialists. Thank you.

Lyn B,

If I hadn’t found this clinic I feel I may never have found the root causes of my lifetime of confusing and chronic health symptoms, which Western doctors misdiagnosed, mismedicated and subsequently caused more damage. I’m extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to be thoroughly tested and work ongoing with Kate, who explains things clearly, listens and cares.

Kerry

I love working w/ Carrie. She is professional yet compassionate. She always has a new idea for me to try. She listens to me and we have an intelligent dialogue about my “journey” and my programs and changes that can be made for a better outcome. She always answers my questions, which are numerous. I enjoy working w/ her and will continue to do so as long as is necessary. Thank you.

Cindy L,

The session was focused, detailed enough so that it wasn’t overwhelming, and efficient and I appreciated her straightforward style. Kate is very clear and knowledgeable. A pleasant experience.

Brenda R,

My consultation with Kate Troup was thorough and took into account both present circumstances and past history. Ultimately, we arrived at a way forward through a challenging set of symptoms. Kate listens carefully and respects her client’s experiences, ultimately restoring hope as well as better health outcomes. I like the way she is prepared to discuss the reasoning behind her suggestions.

Joan E,
Jess is fantastic to work with. I get quite anxious about my health and after years of trying to get better I’m at a stage where I really need to understand what the treatment plan is and why I’m doing each step. Jess is so patient with me and explains the process. I am grateful that she is really digging into the details to work on specific problems so I can achieve long term health. She keeps me hopeful about getting rid of long existing health issues.
Tracy C,

After 10 years of trying to conceive naturally and taking multiple supplements which I shouldn’t have been taking and eating foods which I shouldn’t be eating. I finally got my answer for my recurrent miscarriages and to have my husband tested for a specific tese for the first time and to find out the results was astounding

Hajar
Our provider, Kristen Soper is extremely knowledgeable and professional. In addition, she is kind, compassionate, empathetic, and personable. After only 2 visits, we are seeing positive results. We highly recommend her.
Janine J,

Kristen’s holistic health care approach marked a pivotal shift from traditional symptom-focused treatments to a comprehensive, cellular-level analysis. This focus on uncovering and addressing the root causes of my health issues was a refreshing change.

In this journey, the holistic nature of Kristen’s care stood out. I felt truly heard and validated, contrasting sharply with past experiences of being dismissed. Her evidence-based and educational approach equipped me with deep insights into my health, enabling me to support my body more effectively.

This experience was not only informative but also empowering. It provided me with the knowledge and confidence to embark on my healing journey. Most significantly, it replaced feelings of defeat with hope and a clear path to recovery.

I am deeply grateful for this transformative experience. It has opened a new chapter in my health and well-being. Thank you, Kristen, for guiding me on this path to healing.

Lauren T,
I am so thankful to be working with Alicia and MTHFR Support. My health journey has been very complex as we have had to uncover the layers of what was causing my dis-ease from mold toxicity and all the co-infections that come along with it. Alicia has been there with there with me every step of the way. She is just the right combination of professional, compassionate friend and cheerleader. When I first came to MTHFR Support, my brain inflammation was so high, I could barely function cognitively. My anxiety was off the charts, and I struggled to sleep. My system was so sensitive that I had to work very slowly to add in supplements. Alicia guided me with my diet to help alleviate symptoms which helped tremendously. The eczema that covered my hands disappeared, and my thinking improved. I became less sensitive to lights, sounds and smells, and I began to feel like a person again. Over time as I have worked on regulating my nervous system and improved my sleep airway issues, I have been able to make more progress. I am enjoying more foods without reactions, sleeping better and exercising several times a week. I do have more work to do in order to completely detox, but with Alicia’s guidance I have been able to build the foundational pieces of my health, so that I can now I can work my way to total healing. In working with Alicia, I have always felt cared for and understood. There have been times when I know that she often answered similar questions multiple times, and we’ve started similar protocols over because of my cognitive difficulties and sensitivities, but she has always helped me with such grace, compassion and love. I cannot thank Alicia, Carolyn and the MTHFR Support staff enough for everything they have done and are doing for me.
Susie G,

“Sonia has helped my daughter to improve her health, she made her understand the importance of nutritious food, sleep, to be aware of the ingredients in beauty products and the importance of lifestyle in people with mthfr.
Sonia is caring, knowledgeable and proactive in her approach. My daughter enjoys her appointments with Sonia.”

Grace G,

I was so happy to get the results of my Gene test, it answered a lot of my questions about why I have ended up with Chronic Heart Disease, I have always had trouble communication with mainstream Doctors as they don’t like being question on there knowledge of Diseases and there choice of Medications.
I found Kate from MTHFR to be very Knowledgeable in the Field of Genetic Testing and as a Medical Practitioner has a great understanding of Her Patients needs, I would and Will recommend to everybody to get tested at lease once in there lifetime, but don’t leave it to Late
Very Happy

Matt H,
I was extremely happy and satisfied following my appointment with Kristen. She had sufficiently reviewed my medical history to address my concerns and discuss my pathway forward with a beautiful approach. Her language was easy to understand, wasn’t daunting and left me feeling positive. Very happy and I look forward to my next appointment.
Tanya F,

As a practitioner I was extremely impressed by Kristen’s knowledge and ability to connect all the dots. She explained complex information in a really succinct and digestible way. She picked up on nuances many other people may have overlooked which demonstrated her knowledge, skill and time spent looking through all of the information provided.
Most of all though, as a mum trying to set my baby up for the best chance at a healthy future I appreciated her warmth, her obvious heart centred approach, and the sense she genuinely cares about the results her clients achieve. I now look forward to the appointments for the rest of the family.

Kelly
This honestly has been the best money I have ever spent, DNA testing was super informative and a must for anyone struggling with MTHFR health related issues.

Because of her extensive experience, Kate knows masterfully how to outmaneuver setbacks during the treatment and in doing so, it gives you as patient hope and perspective.

Beth M,

Thank you to Jess for accomodating me at short notice when I didn’t notice the appointment I booked was for 3 months time! it was much appreciated.

Lauren J,
Sonia Savage was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. As we believe we may also have the MTHFR gene she advised us that we could apply to get it bulk billed as a family member our daughter Sienna has tested positive for the gene. We feel confident that Sonia can assist our family to manage the MTHFR gene and its side effects

Kathleen McG,
I had a wonderful consultation with Kate Troup. Over the years I’ve worked with many providers. Kate is unique in her ability to integrate genetic data, other lab data, nutritional information, and supplementation. I received great advice and it was communicated in a concise and clear manner. Kate is upbeat and is a great listener. I look forward to working with her again on my complex issues that have baffled others.

Kelli M,

MTHFR Support has been life changing for my health. I find Kristen Soper so knowledgeable and extremely helpful. She is very easy to talk to and always has an answer to my questions.
I can’t thank you enough for the invaluable advice and correct supplements. The best thing I did was to take the Smart DNA test – it really allows personal care. Thank you ☺️

Gaye H,

I have had yet another informative and reassuring online appointment with Kate .She has been consulting for me for several years now. She is always on board with the issues relating to my specific MTHFR issues. She has great knowledge around what changes and additions I need to make in relation to supplement and lifestyle changes. I always have confidence in her advice and feel supported when I’m struggling.
It is reassuring to know she is usually a phone call away if I need quick advice also.

Julieanne D,
I had a fruitful appointment with Kate Trout of MTHFR Support on Thursday 27th June 2024. Kate advised me on steps to take so we can make sure I am taking the best variety and dose of Vitamin B12 and Folate for my unique genetic make-up. My aim is to improve methylation processes, particularly those that will keep B12 and Folate balanced in my body. Kate has a vast knowledge and is able to work with the implications of multiple disorders and diagnoses at the same time. I am very happy with my zoom appointments, the webinars and courses MTHFR Support Australia provides.
Kathryn H,
I’ve been consulting with my practitioner, Melanie Sheen, for over a year now and I’m thrilled with my results. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and highly personable. I look forward to her continued support as I march through perimenopause, and eventually menopause.
Christine W,

Sarah’s warm and caring nature makes it so easy to talk to her. Her knowledge and advice has truly helped me gain a better understanding of what I need to do on a daily basis to live a healthier and happier lifestyle in a realistic manner. Within the first hour of talking to Sarah, I felt heard and understood. She set forth achievable goals that I felt excited to work towards. I highly recommend Sarah without hesitation!

Demi A,

My consultation with the very friendly and helpful Sonia Savage was excellent. Sonia patiently explained and clarify things to me.

Saleem H,

It was very helpful and insightful talk with Kate

Gabriel

I’ve been dealing with a set of symptoms and concerns for the past three years that no one had fully understood or addressed—until I met Sonia. At the very first appointment, I felt like someone finally listened to me and truly grasped the complexity of my situation. Sonia’s deep expertise was immediately clear, and for the first time, I felt confident about the next steps in my care. She not only validated my concerns but also provided a clear and thoughtful plan that put me at ease. Her professionalism, empathy, and thorough approach made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Sarah S,

Sonia was extremely helpful in outlining the various aspects of our child’s detox protocol – weighing the pros and cons of different products and timing of supplements considering blood work, stool and food sensitivity test results. She is not only knowledgeable but friendly, making her a wonderful partner in achieving our families health goals.

Jessica

Very professional process, good pre forms to fill out to focus on problems needed to be discussed. The practitioner listened carefully to my health concerns and questioned me about my diet and environment. Then the analysis of my health data was done. A followup email with recommendations and the recording was sent very promptly afterwards.

GLYNIS T,

Thank you Sonia for your support. I find it very helpful.
