Ellen Smith – Naturopath | Cognitive Health Practitioner
With almost 30 years of experience in natural medicine, Ellen Smith is a highly respected and compassionate Naturopath who brings a wealth of knowledge, clinical insight, and lived experience to her work. Her passion for natural health and healing began early in life and has only deepened through decades of study and hands-on care.
Ellen’s areas of expertise are broad, but she is particularly well known for her work in supporting people with cognitive decline, including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. After training under renowned neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen in the U.S.—a pioneer in reversing Alzheimer’s—Ellen has become one of the few practitioners in Australia offering a holistic, root-cause approach to brain health through the ReCODE protocol.
She also has a special interest in thyroid health, having personally overcome Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Ellen understands the complexities of thyroid disorders from both a clinical and personal perspective and has helped many clients regain their energy, clarity, and vitality through targeted, naturopathic support.
A firm believer in the philosophy that “all disease begins in the gut,” Ellen is passionate about restoring digestive health and the microbiome. She works closely with individuals experiencing bloating, IBS, IBD, food sensitivities, and other gut-related concerns to uncover the underlying causes and restore balance naturally.
Ellen also frequently supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, adrenal fatigue, and insomnia—conditions she considers foundational to overall wellbeing. She understands that mental and emotional health are inseparable from physical health and uses a compassionate, evidence-based approach to help people restore resilience and calm.
Ellen is a Fellow and registered practitioner of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS), reflecting her longstanding commitment to professional excellence in the field of natural health.
