Digestive Problems
Health starts in your Gut. The first step to taking control of your health is keeping your gut in top shape. When you have an unhealthy gut, you can have bacterial overgrowth, parasites, insufficient beneficial gut flora, or food intolerances. As a result, everything else suffers. Aside from digestive issues such as bloating, pain, irregular bowel movement, diarrhoea, and poor appetite, you become susceptible to inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and a host of other medical conditions.
Food Intolerances / bloating
Poor gut health or digestive issues can be crippling in your everyday life. These include bloating, irritable bowel, constipation, diarrhoea, and diagnosed diseases like Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis. Despite how common these symptoms are, it can feel embarrassing and uncomfortable to seek advice and ask for help.
The gastrointestinal tract is the center of your health, and ensuring it is functioning optimally is so important. That’s why at Wellixa, we aim to demystify your gut health. Some of the tests we use are CDSA DNA PCR, Parasitology, Food Intolerance Testing, SIBO and Fructose Intolerance testing. This helps us to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms which may be parasites, pathogenic bacteria, a compromised mucosal barrier or poor liver function.
We’ll then work with you to create a clear action-plan that not only gives you relief when you need it, but empowers you to better understand and manage your gut health for a stronger and happier life.

Hear Directly From Our Happy Clients
I cannot express enough how much Kristine from Enterprise Fitness has helped me to get my health back on track. When I came across an article on their site offering help through functional health, I knew that it was just what my poor body needed.
I had just been diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue & as my doctor put it, I was just completely burnt out. My joints were failing me, my hair was thinning & I was exhausted all the time, falling asleep before 7 pm every night, but still waking up so tired. It was so bad that my doctor ordered me to go on 3 weeks holiday the very next day, for fear that I could end up in bed for 6 months if I didn’t take a rest.
Due to the joint pain that I was experiencing in my hip, knee, elbows & shoulder, my physio had also recommended no training for 4 1/2 months, prescribing only a slow 30-minute walk 3 days per week, using very short steps along with some rehab exercises. I seriously felt that at only 47years of age, that this was how old age felt.
In no time at all after emailing Kristine, she replied & began working out a plan to get my health & energy back, starting with an array of questionnaires & blood tests to see where we were starting from. She would always explain everything thoroughly & tell me why she made her recommendations, which in turn, I felt, helped me to make my own informed decisions when planning out my meals. I believe that it was this type of support from Kristine that made it much easier for me to transition from a vegetarian (almost vegan) diet to being able to enjoy eating a variety of animal protein sources again. I was able to understand that my body just couldn’t heal on a vegetarian diet, and besides, the blood tests don’t lie.
After about 7 months of being coached by Kristine, I have more than enough energy to get through the day & have been able to get back to the gym, where I have seen huge increases in my strength. I no longer need the nanna naps after my workouts, as I used to, but am able to get a normal good night’s sleep. The inflammation in my hip & elbows is completely gone, while my knee & shoulder have made huge improvements.
Honestly, words cannot explain how different I feel. I no longer feel frail & weak, but I am the healthy person that I was always trying to be. I will always be grateful for my health, & I will always be grateful for the help that I received from Kristine. Both are a huge blessing! Thank you so much

Right from my first appointment, Kristine was someone who took the time to listen to all of my issues and to cover everything to do with my body. She was never in a rush to kick me out the door and knew exactly what was wrong and how to treat me, even before I’d had bloods done, which always confirmed she was right.
Kristine is a very friendly, loving, and caring person who cares about you and will go to great lengths to help in any way she can. I highly recommend her services.
Marg Talbot
Kristine, thanks a lot for your help. Changes in diet along with effective supplementation after my blood work are really working great for me. I feel leaner, healthier, energetic, don’t feel like coffee anymore, and can lift heavy:)) thanks heaps. Looking forward to learn more!

Prior to seeing Kristine I had seen multiple medical professionals regarding a rash that had broken out across my body, which both had told me would just ‘go away themselves.’ However after a few weeks the rash remained so I decided to take a more holistic approach and reached out to Kristine.
Kristine helped me to identify the inflammatories within my system (particularly within the gut) which were the root cause of my rash. She then helped me with a herbal supplement course and provided nutritional guidance, which over a short period of only 2 weeks my rash symptoms were disappearing and were completely cleared in 4 weeks with no return. I continued with herbal supplementation over the following few months to ensure my gut was in optimal health, which ultimately resulted in higher energy, clearer thinking, restful sleeping and clear skin.
She furthermore helped me to regulate my menstrual cycle, which had been out of sync for over 12 months having been in a highly stressful work environment.
Kristine’s approach is a lifestyle change rather than a short quick fix, which in the past for me has seen symptoms return. She provides a really warm and welcoming service and made me feel very comfortable with each consultation. She really listens to what you and your body needs and finds solutions to put your health at its peak. I would highly recommend Kristine if you are seeking a naturopath / holistic practitioner.

I contacted Kristine as I had been having a lot of trouble with acne, which had gone on for years. I had been to dermatologists who charged through the roof and yet never delivered any results.
I got my blood work done and sent the results to Kristine which she analysed together with a questionnaire about my medical history. We then had an hour-long phone consult which Kristine followed up with a supplementation plan and a number of dietary changes.
Since I have made the changes which Kristine suggested, my skin has never been better and my acne had completely cleared up. This has made a massive difference to me and I could not be happier with the results.
I would be more than happy to recommend Kristine to anyone, It’s a fantastic in-depth service and at a great price.

When I came to see Kristine I had been suffering from a range of growing and compounding health problems, as well as a persistent inability to lose weight over an 18 month period. Before coming to her, I had seen 4 medical professionals (2 GP’s, an endocrinologist, a gastroenterologist), and various other health professionals – all of whom could not identify the cause of my problems, nor treat them.
Kristine’s approach was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. She took the time to properly work through all my symptoms and combined both a medical and holistic approach when trying to identify the true cause of my issues.
Kristine did this successfully after her first analysis and she picked up on things that had been overlooked completely by others. What followed was a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand and cost-effective treatment plan which produced results within the first 7 days! My symptoms immediately began to reduce.
Within 4 weeks and after 18 mths of a complete inability to stop/decrease weight gain, my body visibly began to change, and I was feeling better than ever.
Overall, Kristine produced more results in four weeks than multiple other “experts in the field” had achieved in almost 2 yrs. Her unique skill set combines the knowledge of a medical professional, with the open-mindedness and holistic approach of a naturopath. I highly recommend her – she is professional, kind, and is one of my most trusted health advisers.
Chantelle Pior
I found Kristine when I decided I was sick of overtraining, under and inadequately eating, and running myself through constant mental torture in regards to wanting to regain my mental and physical health and compete in a fitness competition.
I was mentally and physically drained, feeling immensely frustrated and overwhelmed, and was fighting harder than ever to stay on top of my moods. Being this close to the edge, I decided I needed the best, so I sort out Enterprise Fitness.
After an initial consultation with Mark, it was agreed he could train me, but if I wanted to compete, I needed to get my body in all dimensions, functioning optimally; because unless you are in the right space mentally and your body is functioning physically in an efficient way, you will be fighting a very big, stressful and unenjoyable uphill battle.
I called and arranged my first consultation with Kristine. Kristine sent me through an extremely thorough functional health assessment form outlining all of my own and my family’s health history. Our first face-to-face consultation was fundamentally based on this assessment in addition to some basic blood tests and I was beyond amazed at Kristine’s insight, knowledge, and compassion. Kristine prescribed me both supplements and some other naturopathic remedies in order to best tackle my health issues. Where GPs and many specialists had told me that “maybe your abnormal is normal” and were unable to provide me with any answers, believing this is just how I was destined to feel, Kristine disagreed and has provided answers and solutions.
Within a week of taking the initially prescribed supplements a number of my problems were improving, I could feel it within myself; my mind settled, slept better and my skin was clearer. 4 weeks on and many people have noted how ‘healthy’ and fresh I look and repeat blood tests have shown a marked improvement across the board. The huge improvement in my blood tests even shocked my doctor, as one cannot argue with science.
However, the one thing I cannot make enough positive comments on is my mood stabilisation. Where I was only a few weeks ago experiencing rapid ups and downs and having a lot of trouble with anxiety and sleep, I am now feeling much more balanced and calm than I have in a very long time and sleeping through the night. For someone who could not previously manage more than 5-6 hours of unbroken sleep and who had forgotten what mental peace and happiness felt like, I am now regularly making a solid 8 hours and feeling happier than ever!
I’m continuing to work with Kristine as I aim to get my body into its best and healthiest state through regular email correspondence and informal chats at Enterprise. I can not speak highly enough of Kristine, she is immensely talented at what she does, having a true understanding and affinity with the human body and showing nothing but genuine compassion and care for her clients.
I’m feeling nothing but grateful for having met Kristine and am excited about further future improvements!

I first saw Kristine in June 2013 with several issues, some of which have plagued me for 15 years. I couldn’t remember the last time I had a full night of sleep. I had stomach discomfort and diarrhea nearly every morning. I had terrible muscle cramps in my legs and feet, which has impacted my ability to play tennis, run and ride my bike. My first consult with Kristine included a review of my complete health history. She provided me with an initial assessment over Skype and advised a modified nutrition plan, initial supplementation, and other lifestyle changes. She then requested I have a blood test and organic acid test to further confirm her findings. We made some slight modifications and set a plan for the next several months. I followed the plan nearly perfectly and one day I slept all the way through the night! I only knew what a full night of sleep felt like after taking a sleeping pill to adjust to a significant time zone change. I started sleeping and felt amazing! My diarrhea went away. My muscle cramps subsided…no doubt some were due to over-exertion. Kristine gave me advice I hadn’t received before, advice that worked. After 6 months I have scheduled a follow-up consult to make some adjustments and further improve my quality of life and heath. I would highly recommend Kristine to anyone with a health issue or concern. Her knowledge and a personal approach are exceptional and the results speak for themselves.
“Kristine was incredibly helpful. I didn’t just receive a standard and non-specific treatment plan like I had in the past from others. Kristine really took the time to understand my symptoms and then with her experience was able to suggest appropriate tests, which did reveal the causes of my symptoms. I was then given a very specific treatment plan which was explained clearly, easy to follow, and provided great results. Kristine is extremely switched on and professional. She knows her stuff and followed up with me regularly to check on my progress and offer advice. I would highly recommend Kristine to anyone who is looking to improve their health naturally and I have already referred friends to her as I know the quality of service they will receive and the results Kristine is capable of delivering.

I didn’t chase a follow-up with Kristine because I’ve been feeling a thousand times better since our last session! Following the gut cleanse as much as I could, and the supplements really returned me to better health. I’m now training 5 times a week plus keeping a busy work schedule and I’m coping!!! Thank you for helping me when others couldn’t! I’ve also referred a few of my own patients to you. I hope they’ve follow through.
I know I wasn’t your most compliant client, but I certainly saw a marked improvement, sustained results and I now know how to manage myself when I feel myself relapsing! Thanks again,
Sophie Z. Osteopath
After suffering from chronic hayfever-like symptoms, I went to Kristine to try and find a cure instead of constantly treating it with a multitude of hayfever tablets and nasal sprays. After initial tests with Kristine that showed some food intolerances, we adjusted my diet and included some additional supplementation. Within a relatively short period of time, I was having symptom-free days for the first time in years. Along with that I also found other areas of my health improving, including clearer skin and gut health.
Would highly recommend Kristine to anyone looking to optimize their health.

She seriously knows her stuff and is a lovely human too. If you’re looking for naturopathic services, look no further!

Kristine Ottobre is a superstar! I have had gut issues for nearly 2 years and after several visits to the doctor, breath testing, etc. none could really help me! I was struggling to lose weight, although I thought I was eating well!
Kristine has studied me with all the information I could give her, eating disorder history, stomach issues and since then she has provided me with Nutritional information and supplements to help me, these have helped me out of sight!
My weight has been dropping off by the week, I feel fantastic, my stomach issues have never been better and I just love the lifestyle and eating patterns now!
Kristine put in so much effort for me, she has been ever so helpful with everything, any questions I had for her she was more than happy to help and so promptly.
I can’t thank her enough for what she has done for me, I still have a long journey ahead of me but she has been such an amazing help, and would recommend her to anyone.

I started seeing Kristine when I was looking for a more holistic approach to my health concerns. I got frustrated with the advice I’d been receiving from my regular medical practitioner and was sick of taking medications that masked symptoms rather than addressing the root of my problems. Since working with Kristine, I have noticed a huge improvement in my overall well-being and health. Kristine has a fabulous wealth of knowledge and is very personable and easy to deal with. I would recommend Kristine to anyone who wants to take a more holistic, but still evidence-based approach to their health.
Lisa Wood

I gained so much from my sessions with Kristine. During my time with her, I gained a much deeper knowledge & awareness about my overall health. She was genuine, supportive, understanding & gentle, allowing me to progress at my own pace. I was over the moon when I started to feel the benefits of her practice, as many other avenues I had in the past tried left me no better off. I really don’t think I would be feeling as good as I do today without her support. Kristine gave me a wonderful foundation for my health to reset & I am so, so grateful I stumbled upon her!
Celeste Summers
Kristine’s guidance has been fundamental in helping me improve my gut health and hormonal balance after many years of high stress as an athlete. She is professional, highly knowledgeable and really took the time to understand me, my goals and my lifestyle. She has also been a fantastic help to my clients who present with health complications that fall outside my scope of practice. I am so thankful for Kristine’s guidance and cannot recommend her highly enough.
