| Katie is a fully qualified Nutritional Therapist and studied Naturopathic Nutrition for 3 years at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, obtaining a distinction in her field. In her clinic, Katie’s predominant interests are Chronic illness. In particular: Chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, Long-covid and Environmental illness. The reason for these specific interests lies with the fact that Katie herself has been managing multiple chronic health conditions for over 7 years and has seen for herself the benefits that natural health approaches can make. She is passionate about nutrition and health and is very much looking forward to bringing her experiences and learning to the Hippocratic Institute. Note: An updated Bio and Katie’s clinic website will be available in January. |  Katie Roberts NT Dip CNM, BA(Hons): Nutritional Therapy Consultant |
