Discover a holistic approach to weight loss that goes beyond diets and addresses the real reasons your body holds on to weight
What’s Blocking Your Weight Loss? Take The Quiz!
If you’ve tried every diet under the sun. Calorie counting, keto, fasting, cutting carbs, and nothing seems to work anymore, you’re not alone.
Women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond often face hidden roadblocks to weight loss:
Hormone imbalances that trigger cravings, stubborn fat, or low energy
Gut health issues that affect digestion, mood, and metabolism
Chronic stress that keeps your body in “fat storage mode”
Years of restrictive dieting that have slowed your metabolism
The truth is, it’s not your fault! Traditional diets ignore the deeper reasons your body is resisting weight loss.
Welcome! I’m Christina, an Adelaide naturopath and weight loss coach with a passion for helping women heal their bodies instead of fighting against them.
My holistic method blends:
Nutrition for Women’s Hormones & Metabolism: Stop eating less and start eating in a way that supports your body & metabolic health

Holistic Health Solutions: uncover and resolve the root cause of weight gain. I can help you to manage hunger and cravings, resolve gut health challenges and regulate your nervous system so weight loss can begin to feel easy and sustainable.
Instead of generic meal plans, I create individualised protocols based on your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals.
This is about long-term weight loss, not quick fixes.

Sustainable weight loss begins when you focus on your whole health, not just the number on the scales.
Unlike traditional dieting, this approach:
Supports your hormones (thyroid, insulin, cortisol, estrogen)
Repairs your nervous system and gut health for better nutrient absorption and fewer cravings
Supports your metabolism naturally (no more yo-yo dieting)
Helps you feel calm and in control around food again
When your body is supported, weight loss becomes easier, more sustainable, and less stressful.
Are you ready to stop guessing and finally understand what your body needs?
Let’s work together to uncover what’s really holding you back from losing weight.

What’s Blocking Your Weight Loss?
6 Signs Your Hormones are Sabotaging Your Success
Naturopath Adelaide | Christina Ettore
If you are looking for a naturopath who will investigate what is going on in your body rather than hand you a generic meal plan, you are in the right place.
For over 14 years, I have been working with women who are exhausted, hormonally out of balance, and frustrated that nothing they have tried has worked. My approach is investigative, personalised, and built around finding the real cause of what is holding your body back.
What I Help Women With
Weight loss resistance is one of the most common reasons women come to see me, but it is rarely just about weight. The women I work with are dealing with a complex web of symptoms that have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or simply not investigated deeply enough.
As a naturopath in Adelaide I support women with:
Holistic weight loss for women who have tried every diet and still cannot shift the weight, or who lose it only to regain it. We find out why and address it properly.
Hormone health estrogen dominance, PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, PMS, thyroid conditions, adrenal fatigue, and insulin resistance. Hormones influence almost everything, and getting them right changes everything.
Gut health IBS, bloating, food intolerances, reflux, leaky gut, and digestive dysfunction that has been written off as something you just have to live with.
Metabolic repair for women whose metabolism has slowed after years of restrictive dieting, low calorie eating, or chronic stress.
Nervous system support stress, anxiety, burnout, sleep issues, binge eating, and emotional eating all have a nervous system component that standard advice rarely addresses.
Skin health acne, rosacea, and melasma that keep coming back despite topical treatments, because the root cause is internal.
Why You Should Work With Me!
Standard medicine is excellent at many things. Investigating the subtle, compounding imbalances that drive chronic symptoms in women is not always one of them. A 15-minute GP appointment and a blood test that comes back normal does not mean everything is fine. It often means the right questions have not been asked yet.
As a naturopath in Adelaide I use functional reference ranges for blood work, which means I am looking at what is optimal for your body, not just what falls within the broad standard lab range. I combine this with detailed case-taking, targeted functional testing where relevant, and a treatment plan that addresses nutrition, herbal medicine, supplementation, and lifestyle together.
Everything is personalised. Nothing is guesswork.
How It Works
Your first appointment is a thorough deep-dive into your health history, current symptoms, hormones, digestion, stress, sleep, and the patterns that have developed over time. From there we build a plan specific to you, with check-ins and adjustments along the way.
Consultations are available in person at my clinic in Evandale, South Australia, and via Zoom for women across Adelaide and Australia. Functional testing kits are posted directly to you wherever you are located.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you work with? I work primarily with women aged 30 to 65 who are dealing with stubborn weight gain, hormone imbalance, gut issues, fatigue, or a combination of symptoms that have not responded to standard approaches. Many of my clients have already seen multiple practitioners and are looking for someone who will dig deeper.
Is naturopathy covered by private health insurance in Australia? Yes. Naturopathy became eligible for private health insurance rebates again from 1 July 2025, however each fund determines whether to include it and at what level. I recommend contacting your fund directly to confirm your entitlements before booking.
What happens at the first appointment? Your first appointment runs for approximately 60 to 75 minutes. We go through your full health history, current symptoms, hormonal and digestive health, stress load, sleep, and your goals. It is a genuine conversation, not a checklist. You will leave with a clear picture of what I think is driving your symptoms and a personalised plan to begin addressing it.
How long before I start feeling better? This depends on how long your symptoms have been present and what is driving them. Most women notice shifts in energy, mood, and cravings within the first few weeks. More significant changes typically follow as the underlying causes are addressed. Chronic conditions that have been building for years take longer to resolve than acute ones, and I will always be honest with you about realistic timelines.
How is a naturopath different from a GP? A GP works within a system designed for acute care and diagnosis. A naturopath works with significantly more consultation time, a whole-body lens, and a focus on identifying the compounding imbalances that drive chronic symptoms. I also use functional reference ranges for blood work, which means I am looking at what is optimal for your body rather than what simply falls within the broad standard lab range.
Can I see you online instead of coming into the clinic? Yes. I offer Zoom consultations for women across Adelaide and Australia. The depth and quality of the consultation is identical to an in-person appointment, and all functional testing kits are posted directly to you.
Do I need to be really unwell to see a naturopath? Not at all. Many of the women I work with describe feeling like they are managing but not thriving. Low energy, unexplained weight gain, hormonal symptoms that have been normalised, gut issues that come and go. You do not need a diagnosis or a crisis to benefit from this kind of support.
