Meet Jo Robertson
The Real Food Naturopath
Jo Robertson is a naturopath based in North Canterbury and a firm believer in using food as medicine for healing. Through her practice, she strives to promote well-being to keep the mind, body and spirit healthy in order to help people become the best version of themselves.
Jo believes that true health can only be achieved through good nutrition.

This includes using the principles of the paleo, keto, GAPS and carnivore diets and tailoring a wellness plan specific to your needs, focusing on finding and correcting the root cause rather than merely treating symptoms.
Why Naturopathy?
It can help with
Gut Health
More than 2000 years ago Hippocrates said "All disease begins in the gut". Few people in modern Western society have escaped poor gut health. The key to improving this is diet with the addition of simple lifestyle and sometimes supplemental support.
Mental Well-being
Mental health is very much linked to gut health and simply adding or removing specific foods and nutrients can have a profoundly positive effect on this. Lifestyle factors and past trauma's also play a big part in mental well-being and there are many tools available to help address these.
Sleep
Poor sleep impacts health and well-being negatively in many ways. Often simple lifestyle changes can positively enhance sleep. Sometimes supplemental and dietary support is also necessary to reset and restore restful slumber.
Immune Health
Poor immunity can be attributed to a number of factors associated with modern day living including the use of antibiotics, exposure to toxins, hidden infections, nutritional deficiencies, stress and lifestyle factors. Jo dives deep into past and present health history in an attempt to uncover factors contributing to poor immune health.
Weight Loss
Weight loss often occurs as a consequence of the dietary and lifestyle changes Jo recommends to optimize health. Her focus is first and foremost on healing the body, a benefit of which is weight loss (or sometimes weight gain if needed) as the body returns to a homeostatic state.
Women's Health
PCOS, endometriosis, PMT, PMDD, thyroid disease, infertility, menopausal and breast issues are all modern day problems that are effectively treated with natural lifestyle, dietary and supplemental approaches.
