From civil engineering to naturopathy

Hi, I’m Imaad, a qualified naturopath and a registered member of the NHAA, the Naturopaths & Herbalists Association of Australia. My degree sits in both traditional and evidence-based natural medicine.

It started in the family business, which specialises in K9 nutrition. Watching how much changed when what an animal ate changed was enough to make me leave a civil engineering degree and start a naturopathy one instead. Some personal health challenges along the way did the rest, I came out of them with a real respect for how the body responds when it’s given the right support, and for how long that takes.

So my work looks at what sits underneath the symptoms rather than only the symptoms themselves. A first appointment is a full hour because a health history takes an hour: what you eat, how you sleep, what your digestion is doing, what stress looks like in your week, what medications and supplements you’re on, what your family history carries. Only then does a plan make sense.

Outside the clinic I train Brazilian jiu-jitsu and lift weights, both for over ten years now, and I still compete. It keeps me honest: I know what it actually takes to fit training, food and recovery around a working week, so the plans I write are built for a real schedule rather than an ideal one.

I consult inside Masnad Health Clinic at Bankstown and Lakemba, and at Sydney Health and Sports Clinic in South Wentworthville. I work alongside your GP and specialists, never instead of them. If something sits outside my scope, I’ll say so and point you to the right person.
