When your body starts changing through perimenopause and midlife, it can feel confusing - your weight changes, energy drops, digestion feels different, cholesterol starts creeping up, and the things that used to work no longer seem to help.

I’m Araleena Isse, a naturopath with over 20 years of clinical experience, and I support women in midlife who want to improve their metabolic health, understand their changing bodies, and create sustainable improvements in the way they feel.

My approach looks beyond individual symptoms and considers how nutrition, metabolism, gut health, inflammation, lifestyle, and the body’s changing needs interact.

I work with women experiencing:

• Midlife weight changes and difficulty losing weight
• Low energy and exhaustion
• Bloating, digestive issues, and gut discomfort
• High cholesterol and changing metabolic markers
• Blood sugar concerns
• Inflammation and complex health concerns
• Perimenopause and menopause changes

I use the Metabolic Balance® program as a structured, personalised framework to help women understand the foods that best support their individual physiology. Based on your unique health information and blood markers, it provides a clear nutritional roadmap designed around your body - rather than another generic diet.

But the plan is only the beginning.

I believe lasting change comes from understanding, not just following instructions. Through weekly small-group coaching sessions, I support you to build confidence, understand the reasons behind your plan, and make changes that become part of your lifestyle.

My aim is that you don’t just complete a program - you leave with a deeper understanding of your body, your nutritional needs, and the practical tools to continue supporting your health long term.

Through naturopathy, practical nutrition, and herbal medicine where appropriate, we focus on foundations that support energy, digestion, metabolism, inflammation, and wellbeing.

I run a private naturopathic practice in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, supporting women locally and across Australia through in-person and Telehealth consultations.

My practice focuses on midlife health, metabolic health, gut health, inflammation, and complex health concerns. I combine nutritional science, naturopathic principles, and practical lifestyle strategies to help clients create meaningful change.

Metabolic Balance® provides the structure and personalised guidance many women need when they feel overwhelmed by conflicting health advice.

Whether you are navigating perimenopause, struggling with weight changes, noticing shifts in cholesterol or metabolic markers, or feeling that your body needs a different approach, I offer clear and supportive guidance to help you move forward.
