To get a better grasp of the benefits of visiting Newcastle’s premier Naturopathy, Mullen Natural Health, we caught up with long-time client and Former Miss Universe Australia, Tegan Martin, to hear all about her naturopathic health journey and her relationship with our local health centre.
What sparked you to invest in a naturopathic journey?
“My parents sought naturopathic advice for me when I was in primary school for some warts popping up on my hands. They used to have me drink terrible-tasting tonic, but it miraculously cleared them up and I no longer felt embarrassed about them in the schoolyard.
“My first autonomous naturopath booking was about the age of 19. I went for some gut issues and came out having solved much more than that. He had helped me realise that my chronic hay fever growing up was actually a dairy intolerance, I was in disbelief that I could have avoided so much suffering and still to this day avoid dairy or my hay fever symptoms creep back!”
What do you love about the experience offered here at Mullen Natural Health?
“What I love most about Mullen is that I feel safe and supported at all times in my health journey. I have full faith that no matter what health problems arise Pete and his team will be able to devise a plan to help me rebalance and feel good again.
“Mullen has continuously helped me to reach the root cause of my problems rather than mask them, whether that be something as small as a UTI or something as debilitating as brain fog or anxiety. I have seen major improvements in all areas of my health thanks to Mullen Health.”
How has investing in your health changed your lifestyle, headspace, and overall wellbeing?
“Investing in my health has made every other aspect of my life soar with success. When people say healthy foods, supplements or advice are ‘too expensive’ I wish they knew that investing in their health before anything else will cause a flow-on effect of change in every area of their life.
“If you have better mental clarity, you can make more money, if you have more energy you train more and feel better in your clothes, if you wake up with better mental health you simply attract more success into your life in every way.”
What would you say to someone who is thinking about starting their naturopathic journey?
“As someone who experienced illness at a young age, I know all too well that no one is immune to disease and that prevention is key. My advice is to book that appointment asap and be someone who prevents their health from falling apart, not someone who waits until it is too late.
“I often think about how things may have been different for me if I had been under the guidance of a naturopath at a younger age. A part of me believes I wouldn’t have suffered through so many health issues had I had access to better lifestyle education. The reason I am currently studying a health science degree is to be a part of the change. I want to help young people avoid facing some of the health hardships that I did.”
With a team of four dedicated naturopathic practitioners, each and every appointment at Mullen Natural Health is of the highest priority.
“All of our practitioners use standard pathology and in-house testing to track and measure our patient’s health. Our practitioners are experts in reading standard pathology from your GP and looking at optimum levels of nutrients rather than reference ranges,” Pete shared.
Combining in-house testing alongside conventional blood tests allows patients to receive an accurate picture of where their whole health is up to. As Peter puts it, “it’s like looking under the hood to really see what’s going on.”
Mullen Natural Health’s in-house testing covers a huge range including blood tests to look at gut health, food intolerance testing, iridology, zine level test, pH test, and toxicity test. To see the full list of what the Mullen team covers, click here.
With 30+ years in practice, making Mullen Natural Health the longest-standing naturopathic practice in Newcastle gives you the trust you need to book your FREE initial consultation and start your journey towards better health!
