A functional medicine clinic in Palmyra whose health coaching sits alongside its practitioner consultations: the coach's part is behaviour change and helping people actually carry out the protocol they have been given. Coaches are certified through the Kresser Institute. Appointments are available in the Palmyra rooms or by telehealth nationally, and the group runs telehealth-only clinics in several other capitals.

Functional testing in Perth — listings
Elle-Lou Diddams consults from Leederville on Mondays and Thursdays and online the rest of the week, with a health science degree in naturopathy and ANTA registration. One of the few in this category to publish a full fee schedule: a free discovery call, $250 for the 75-minute initial, $130–$165 for follow-ups and $100 for a short acute appointment.
A ten-practitioner integrative clinic under clinical director Angela Hywood, combining naturopathy, acupuncture and Chinese medicine, functional medicine and clinical nutrition in one practice — with advanced testing from hormone panels to gut microbiome behind the consultations. Initial appointments run a full hour, with telehealth across WA and nationally.
Four clinical nutritionists on Beaufort Street, all degree-qualified in health science, working face to face in Mount Lawley or online Australia-wide. Functional testing backs the consultations, and the practice states a health-at-every-size approach openly — a position worth knowing before you book either way.
Health coaching from Lou Carbone, certified through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in both general and hormone health coaching. Work is sold as programmes rather than single appointments — a six-month one-to-one course, a shorter starter programme and a group detox and nourishment round — with functional testing available inside them. Sessions run online or in person around Perth, and a free 15-minute call comes first.

How nutrition & healthy living is taught in Perth
Two titles, and only one of them means something specific. “Accredited Practising Dietitian” is a credential administered by Dietitians Australia, and it’s the one Medicare care plans and most health funds recognise. “Nutritionist” is not a protected title here — some hold degrees and association membership, some don’t, and the only way to know is to ask.
A first appointment usually runs 45 to 60 minutes and covers what you eat, when, and what your week actually looks like, with shorter reviews after it. Some practitioners work from a GP referral under a chronic disease management plan, which changes what you pay; most also take private bookings without one.
Consultations increasingly run by video, which matters if the practitioner you want is on the wrong side of the river. Ask whether the fee includes the written plan afterwards — practices differ, and it’s the part people assume is free.
