Feel Like Your Body's Not Keeping Up With Your Training?
You train hard. You eat right. But something still feels off. Maybe your energy is low, you're not recovering fast enough, or small injuries keep coming back. You're doing all the right things — so why don't you feel your best?
At NXTLVL Health in Brisbane, we offer naturopathic sports medicine that helps athletes like you perform better, recover faster, and feel stronger — naturally. Our goal is to treat the whole body and give you the tools to stay active, pain-free, and at your best.
Whether you're a pro athlete or just love to train, our holistic approach is designed to support optimal health and athletic performance from the inside out.
What is Naturopathic Sports Medicine?
Naturopathic sports medicine is a natural, science-based way of supporting athletes. It looks at the whole person — not just the symptoms. Instead of masking pain or fatigue, it works to find the root cause. Naturopathic sports medicine doctors specialize in treating a variety of health complaints specific to athletes, ensuring a tailored approach to their unique needs. For athletes looking for personalized guidance and coaching, our naturopath for athletes services provide comprehensive support.
Using tools like nutritional medicine, herbal medicine, functional testing, and lifestyle changes, we support every system in the body — digestion, hormones, immunity, energy, and the mind. Naturopaths create personalized treatment plans for athletes based on their specific nutritional needs, sporting goals, and health conditions. For athletes dealing with focus and concentration challenges, our ADHD naturopath services can provide additional cognitive support.
It's a comprehensive approach that works alongside your training and other therapies, helping your body heal and perform at its best.
Why Athletes Are Turning to Naturopathic Medicine
Athletes push their bodies to the limit. Intense training, lack of recovery, and mental stress can all lead to:
Proper digestion and absorption of nutrients is a key foundation in sports naturopathy, helping to address many of these issues.
Traditional sports medicine often focuses on short-term relief — painkillers, anti-inflammatories, or rest. But these don't always solve the deeper issue.
That's where naturopathic treatment comes in. We focus on the root causes, not just the symptoms, to help you heal, recover, and feel strong again. For athletes experiencing performance anxiety or stress, our anxiety naturopath services can provide valuable nervous system support.

What Makes Naturopathic Sports Medicine Different?
Traditional sports medicine can be amazing for acute injuries — broken bones, torn ligaments, or serious trauma. But when it comes to chronic fatigue, repeated inflammation, or imbalances that don't show up in basic blood tests, it can leave athletes frustrated and without answers.
Naturopathic doctors take the time to look deeper.
Instead of just giving you another supplement or telling you to "rest," we explore all the pieces — your sleep, digestion, hormones, nervous system, lifestyle, and nutrition. We create a clear picture of what's really going on.
Then, we design a treatment plan that actually works for your body and your sport.
Naturopathic Treatment Options at NXTLVL Health
Nutritional Medicine
We tailor your diet to support recovery, strength, and energy. You'll get dietary advice that's designed for your sport, goals, and body. We also use specific micronutrients and targeted supplements when needed.
Herbal Medicine
Using plant-based tools, we support your immune system, reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and improve stress resilience. Herbs can be incredibly effective for muscle recovery, mood, and energy without harsh side effects. Adaptogens, in particular, can modify stress hormones such as cortisol and support calming neurotransmitters, helping athletes manage high-pressure situations.
Functional Testing
We don't guess. We run advanced tests to assess hormones, gut health, nutrient levels, and inflammation markers — especially important for athletes with hidden imbalances affecting their performance.
Live Blood Analysis
In just one drop of blood, we can see signs of inflammation, digestion issues, and oxidative stress. It's an amazing tool for understanding your body in real time.
MLS Laser Therapy
If you're dealing with pain or injury, MLS laser therapy helps reduce inflammation and speed up healing — safely and without drugs. Great for manual therapy recovery and muscle relaxation. Naturopathic treatments also promote healing of muscle and tendon damage, addressing inflammation naturally.
Personal Training & Lifestyle Coaching
Because Mitch is also a qualified personal trainer, we offer lifestyle guidance and movement strategies that support your training while keeping recovery and injury prevention front and center.

Why Work With Mitch?
Combining Naturopathy with Traditional Sports Medicine
You don't have to choose between your GP, physio, or coach and your naturopathic doctor. In fact, it works better when you combine them.
Our approach fits alongside your existing treatments, filling the gaps where traditional care can fall short. Many professional athletes now work with a team that includes a naturopath, because it delivers real, lasting results — for both performance and overall health.
