Words from Cassandra Hilton, Naturopath, Herbalist, Canberra Clinic, Australia, New Zealand Online
Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro — and what naturopathic medicine can actually do instead.
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are genuinely effective — but they are not the only option. Clinical naturopath Cassandra Hilton explains the evidence-based natural strategies for supporting GLP-1 physiology, improving insulin sensitivity and addressing the underlying metabolic drivers that these medications target.
Your hormones are talking. Your skin is translating.
Hormonal acne, premenstrual skin flares and post-pill breakouts all have specific, identifiable biochemical drivers — androgens, insulin, cortisol and oestrogen metabolism. Clinical naturopath Cassandra Hilton explains what the standard hormonal workup often misses, and how a naturopathic approach investigates and treats the root cause.
Why Your Skin Probably Isn’t a Skin Problem
Persistent skin conditions like acne, eczema and rosacea often have an internal driver that no topical product can reach. Clinical naturopath Cassandra Hilton explains the gut-skin axis — the research-backed connection between your gut microbiome and your skin — and what it means in practice.
