From her mid-thirties onward, a woman’s relationship with her body changes in ways that calorie counting and exercise programs were never designed to address. Declining oestrogen shifts fat storage to the abdomen. Cortisol from chronic stress drives cravings and disrupts sleep. Insulin sensitivity changes. For women with ADHD, dopamine dysregulation makes impulsive eating almost neurologically inevitable. None of this is a character flaw. All of it has a clinical explanation and a clinical pathway forward.

At Health Smitten, weight and metabolic health are assessed as part of the whole picture, hormonal, neurological and emotional because treating weight in isolation rarely works for women in this season of life. Rachel Smith is a Nurse Practitioner with over 35 years of advanced clinical experience, qualified to assess, diagnose and treat. Appointments are 60 minutes, Australia-wide via phone or video, no camera required.

You leave with a written summary in plain English, a clear treatment plan where clinically appropriate, referral letters if needed, and 14 days of direct email access to Rachel after your appointment. Your card is processed after your appointment, not before.
