What’s Your #1 Health Bottleneck? Take the 2-Min Quiz

Answer 10 quick questions to identify your most likely pattern — and get a clear, actionable next step.

What do you want to fix first?

Pick your #1 priority right now

Better sleep (fall asleep, stay asleep, wake refreshed)
Bloating / food reactions / gut discomfort
Reflux / GERD / throat burn / regurgitation
Stress, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout

Which symptom disrupts your day the most?

Choose the closest match

Low energy / cravings / stubborn weight / mood swings
Skin issues, itchiness, congestion, headaches, “reactive” feeling
Bloating, gas, discomfort that makes everything harder
Tired but wired, brain fog, poor recovery

How is your sleep, most nights?

Even if you get “enough hours”

Hard to switch off — racing thoughts, wired at bedtime
I wake during the night (or too early) and can’t get back to sleep
Restless sleep — hot, itchy, congested, or unsettled
I sleep, but I wake unrefreshed (foggy, heavy, low recovery)

Which digestion pattern fits you best?

Pick the closest match

Bloating/gas is common (often after “healthy” foods too)
Constipation or sluggish bowels are a recurring issue
Alternating stools / unpredictable gut / IBS-like pattern
More upper-gut: fullness, burping, “food sitting”

Do you have reflux or upper-gut symptoms?

Choose the closest match

Burning heartburn and/or sour regurgitation
Throat tightness/cough/hoarseness (silent reflux vibe)
Burping, pressure, “food sits” after meals
Mostly after rich/fatty meals — nausea/heaviness/urgency

What best describes your energy pattern?

Your “daily shape”

Afternoon crash + cravings (especially sugar/carbs)
Energy dips after meals + bloating/pressure
Unrefreshed no matter how long I sleep (foggy, slow start)
Tense, anxious, low resilience — small things feel hard

How “reactive” does your body feel?

Beyond digestion

Skin/allergy symptoms (eczema, acne, rashes, hayfever)
I feel puffy/inflamed/reactive, with headaches or congestion
Mood swings, cravings, weight shifts, cycle-related symptoms
Not very reactive — it’s more fatigue/stress/digestive

What most reliably makes things worse?

Pick your strongest trigger

Stress + poor sleep (everything flares)
Garlic/onion/legumes/wheat (fermentable foods)
Late meals / big portions / lying down after eating
Alcohol (especially wine), aged foods, “random” flares

Have you had any big “disruptors” in the last few years?

History is often a clue

Antibiotics, food poisoning, gastro, recurrent infections
Chronic stress / burnout / long-term overwhelm
Major hormonal shift (postpartum, perimenopause, PCOS-like pattern)
Long-term reflux history / frequent antacids / throat symptoms

What would help you most right now?

Your “next step” goal

Sleep through the night and wake refreshed
Reduce bloating/food triggers and calm my gut
Reduce reflux/GERD symptoms (burning, regurgitation, throat issues)
Stable energy, fewer cravings, easier weight management




Bendigo Lifestyle Factors That Shape Health — and How We Work With Them

Bendigo combines a strong outdoor culture, seasonal weather swings and great access to regional produce — all of which influence energy, sleep and everyday wellbeing. Our Bendigo-focused naturopathic video consultations account for local work patterns, market seasons and travel demands to deliver practical, achievable guidance you can use at home.

Bendigo lifestyle and health patterns

🌤️ Seasonal climate & outdoor lifestyle

Bendigo’s warm summers, cool winters and active outdoor culture shape hydration, sleep and activity patterns. Many locals spend time gardening, walking the trails around Rosalind Park or working outdoors in trades and agriculture.

→ Video consultations help us build season-aware routines — practical hydration, sleep timing and nutrition strategies that suit local weather.

🚗 Travel & access to services

Regional living often involves balancing local appointments with trips to larger centres. Travel time and clinic availability can affect the ease of follow-up and continuity of care.

→ Telehealth follow-ups, clear written plans and local supplier suggestions reduce the need for extra travel.

🥕 Local food, markets & pantry habits

Bendigo’s farmers’ markets and local growers make fresh seasonal produce easy to access, while busy schedules can still favour convenience choices in the pantry.

→ We create personalised nutrition guidance using market-fresh produce, simple recipes and pragmatic shopping lists.

✓ Health Advantages Unique to Bendigo

  • Access to fresh regional produce: Farmers’ markets and local growers make seasonal fruit, vegetables and small-batch produce easy to find.
  • Active outdoor culture: Parks, reserves and community sports encourage regular walking and outdoor activity.
  • Strong community networks: Local groups, clubs and markets support social connection and practical wellbeing initiatives.
  • Regional health infrastructure: Bendigo has a well-established regional health system and allied services, with telehealth helping bridge gaps between visits.

⚠ Common Challenges We Address

  • Weather extremes: Heat waves and cold snaps can disrupt sleep, activity and daily routines.
  • Specialist access: Certain specialties and testing may require travel to larger centres, which can delay follow-up.
  • Shift work & commuting: Variable hours and long commutes affect sleep patterns, meal timing and stress.
  • Complex care needs in some populations: An aging regional population or those with multiple health priorities often benefit from simple, coordinated plans.

How Naturopathic Support Is Adapted for Bendigo Life

All consultations are delivered via secure video and tailored for Bendigo life. We focus on practical, evidence-informed recommendations around nutrition, sleep, stress resilience, movement and safety-conscious supplement guidance.

🕒 Irregular Routines

Shift work, variable wake times and unpredictable meal schedules make it hard to build consistent habits that support energy and digestion.

🥘 Diet Triggers & Unclear Patterns

Layered food triggers, irregular meals or unclear food patterns can create ongoing discomfort or fluctuating energy across the day.

💤 Poor Sleep & Recovery

Interrupted or low‑quality sleep reduces resilience and makes it harder to stick with other healthy changes.

⚡ Stress & Overload

High day‑to‑day stress increases baseline tension and can affect appetite, sleep and digestion — simple routines can help lower the load.

🩺 Fragmented Care

Conflicting advice from multiple sources can lead to confusion; a coordinated plan helps prioritise what will be most useful for you now.

🌦️ Seasonal & Lifestyle Demands

Farming seasons, commuting, family commitments and other local realities mean solutions must be adaptable and realistic.
