Weight loss is spruiked in many different shapes and forms. From the old-fashioned diet, to diet pills with unwanted side effects to expensive surgical procedures that often leave unsightly scars – it seems there is no end to the ways Australians can lose weight. But, as often exposed on TV shows like A Current Affair and Today Tonight, how many of those methods are really good for the body?

Sydney naturopath Hayden Keys founded Happy & Healthy Wellbeing Centre with a vision to provide one effective and truly healthy way to lose weight. Happy & Healthy Wellbeing Centre offers safe and healthy weight loss programs tailor-made for each individual to help them regain their health using natural methods. Hayden is passionate about good food, nutrition, health, fitness, and the basics – fresh food, pure water, clean air and exercise. www.healthyremedies.com.au/

Happy & Healthy Wellbeing Centre's naturopaths identify key nutritional, hormonal and lifestyle imbalances in patients and correct them. Working with patients at their two convenient locations, Sydney CBD and Miranda, the weight loss specialist naturopaths strive to help patients to find a slimmer, healthier version of themselves. They do this using fresh food, vitamins, minerals and herbs – not unrealistic shakes and meal replacements.

Hayden has created his very own low carbohydrate weight loss system called Belly Fat Boot Camp, which teaches patients how to prepare their own meals and snacks using fresh food. This healthy weight loss program also helps eliminate digestive problems like IBS, bloating and reflux, removes sugar and chocolate cravings, and reduces high blood sugar levels and the need for diabetes drugs.

Happy & Healthy Wellbeing Centre also offers an Enhanced Metabolic Repair Program where the Sydney and Miranda naturopaths take a detailed summary of each patient's medical history and concerns. They then perform a non-invasive physical examination of the patient's liver, gallbladder, colon, blood pressure, tongue and nails. This is followed by a zinc test, iodine test, pH test, gut health test, and a body composition analysis to check each patient's muscle, fluid and body fat.

Then the expert naturopaths develop an individualised treatment plan that includes dietary modifications to clean up the diet, removal of potentially problematic foods, and supply increased amounts of nutrients that allow the body to heal itself.

'With my passion for natural medicine I want to inspire people to believe that they too can have a happy and healthy life. It's really simple – just come in and see us,' says Hayden. www.healthyremedies.com.au/
