Test, Don’t Guess
pathology testing focused on identifying the cause
Your Brisbane naturopaths
Still being told “your results are normal” but you feel like there is a piece of the puzzle missing?
You’ve tried the supplements, the diets and the “just rest more” advice, and you still feel flat. That’s exactly where we come in. At our Brisbane naturopath clinic in Paddington, we use functional pathology testing to look beneath the surface and find the cause of your hormone, gut, energy, mood and complex health concerns, not just manage the symptoms.
No scare tactics. No mountain of supplements. Just evidence-based naturopathy, tailored to how you think, eat and live.
The IWC difference
Pathology testing finds the cause. Then we treat it.
Symptoms are your body’s way of waving a flag. Our Brisbane naturopaths use pathology testing to find out what the flag is pointing to, so your care plan targets the cause, not a guess.
Pathology testing is central to your care
We follow one simple philosophy: test, don’t guess. Thorough, reliable pathology testing shows where your imbalances are, so we can target nutrition, herbal medicine and supplement doses to you.
Explore pathology testing →We treat the cause, not just the symptoms
Bloating, brain fog, low energy, hormone chaos or anxiety rarely come from nowhere. Pathology results help us trace them back to the root cause and treat that, so you’re not stuck managing symptoms forever.
A plan built on your biochemistry
No two care plans are the same. Your pathology testing results, your goals, your budget and your lifestyle shape a realistic, achievable plan, and once we’ve repaired the imbalance, we aim to keep you well.
Sound familiar?
You’re not “just tired”. You deserve answers.
Many of our Brisbane clients arrive after months (or years) of feeling dismissed. Sound like you?
- Exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep, a coffee, and another coffee
- Bloated, gassy or unpredictable digestion that rules your day
- Hormones all over the place: PMS, PCOS, thyroid, fertility or perimenopause
- Anxious, flat or foggy, and nothing seems to shift it
- Told your blood tests are “normal”, but you know something’s off
“Thorough, interested, knowledgeable, life changing and affordable are the words that spring to mind. It’s only been a few days and I’m already feeling so much better.”

Our evidence-based 3-step method
Our time-proven IWC 3-step method is results-driven, collaborative and educational. It’s backed by pathology testing, and built around the three pillars of health.
How you think
Stress, mood, sleep and mental wellbeing are tied to your gut, hormones and nutrient status. Pathology testing helps us see what’s behind the anxiety, low mood or brain fog, and treat that cause.
How you eat
Food is information. Using your pathology testing results, we tailor nutrition, herbal medicine and supplements to your biochemistry, not a generic detox or one-size-fits-all diet.
How you live
Work, family, movement and rest all matter. We build a plan that fits your real life, then keep you well once the underlying cause has been treated.

Bring any recent results so we don’t repeat testing. Many tests can be coordinated by telehealth, and at times we work alongside your doctor to organise testing. Your naturopath will talk you through costs before any private testing is arranged.
Working together
We work alongside your doctor, not against them
Think of us as a bridge between natural medicine and conventional care. You shouldn’t have to choose one or the other to get answers.
Alongside, not instead
We don’t take the place of your GP or specialist. We work alongside them, so your care fits together and nothing falls through the gaps.
A bridge between two worlds
Evidence-based naturopathy and conventional medicine each have real strengths. Our aim is a truly integrative approach that brings the best of both to you.
Pathology testing, together
At times we work alongside your doctor to organise testing, and you’re welcome to bring recent results so nothing is repeated. We also receive referrals from medical and allied health practitioners.
What we help with
Brisbane naturopathy for hormones, gut health & complex conditions
Our team is comfortable with all areas of health, and especially the tricky, “nobody can work out why” cases. Pathology testing helps us find the cause behind each of these:
A little about our founder
Science-trained. Passionate about finding the cause.
Suzi Le Fanue
Founder & Principal Naturopath
I started Integrated Wellness Clinic in 2013 because I was frustrated by how many people were being told “there’s nothing wrong” when they knew there was. My mission has always been to bridge complementary and conventional therapies into a truly integrative, evidence-based model of care.
I hold a Bachelor of Biomedical Science, majoring in Nutrition with a minor in Medical Microbiology. After university I completed further qualifications to practise as a Naturopath, Herbalist and Nutritionist. That science-first grounding is why pathology testing sits at the centre of everything we do at IWC. We test, don’t guess, and we treat the cause.
My focus has been complex health conditions, pyroluria, MTHFR, mental health and gut health, in particular the gut-brain connection. Today I lead the clinic and mentor our team of practitioners, who all follow the evidence-based IWC 3-step method.

Kind words from some of our naturopath clients
“The complete care they provide is second to none and personalised to exactly what I need, when I can manage it. There’s no pressure to buy a mountain load of supplements all at once, just a solid care plan that I can work through. I can honestly say that under their care, I have been a calmer, more balanced person!”
“They have helped me so much over the past few years with anxiety and hormone rebalance after and during an IVF cycle and now with baby number two born four weeks ago, they continue to be a huge support. The staff are professional and extremely knowledgeable.”
“Game changer. Thanks Rebecca, you’re a wealth of knowledge.”
“The team at the Clinic helped me get through an extremely rough time in my life, and I honestly believe the lovely staff had a huge positive impact in my life bouncing back.”
“I found Vanessa did a very thorough and comprehensive assessment with me and felt that she genuinely wanted to find some solutions for me.”
“Thorough, interested, knowledgeable, life changing and affordable are the words that spring to mind. Such a refreshing change. It is in fact worth every penny.”
