Welcome to the Optimum Health Centre

The Optimum Health Centre (OHC) based in Howick, Kwa-Zulu Natal offers a range of health services provided by a diverse team of health professionals. We offer a number of programs, ranging from an 8-week self-guided mindfulness course to a completely personalised set of inputs – the Personalised Treatment Program. This program focuses on restoring the body’s self-healing capacity through a multi-pronged, interdisciplinary team approach that involves identifying the root causes of your chronic health condition/s, followed by the resetting of the nervous system, reversing of chronic inflammation, and guiding and supporting necessary lifestyle changes amongst a host of other possible interventions.

Our Aim

is to empower individuals, with chronic health conditions, to achieve their best health. Services are provided via in-person as well as online consultations to accommodate busy schedules and distant clients.

Our Vision

is to be the South African leader in providing an evidence-based model for the cost-effective treatment of chronic health conditions that involves personalised care, guidance, and support from an integrative and multi-disciplinary team focusing on identifying and treating the root causes of an individual’s particular condition/s.

Our Mission

is to provide individuals, in the prime of their life, who have one or more persistent health conditions, with an integrative and research-informed approach to the improvement of their health that involves personalised guidance and support from a multi-disciplinary team in a cost-effective manner through uncovering the root causes of their particular condition/s.

Our Approach

to Chronic Health Conditions.

At the Optimum Health Centre, we take a research-based, yet unconventional, approach to chronic health conditions, focusing on identifying and resolving root causes, particularly those related to an unhealthy nervous system.

Understanding Your Nervous System

Your nervous system plays a vital role in coordinating all bodily functions, from movement to emotions and responses to the environment. When healthy, it ensures smooth communication between different organs and systems.

Impact of Chronic Dysregulation in the Nervous System

Chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, infections, and environmental toxins can dysregulate the nervous system over time. Childhood experiences can also contribute to ongoing dysregulation, hindering the body’s ability to heal.

Recognizing Signs of Dysregulation

Persistent fatigue, sleep disturbances, digestive problems, mood swings, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, brain fog, and immune system weakness are all signs of a dysregulated nervous system. These issues can disrupt normal biological processes and lead to chronic illnesses and persistent pain.

Addressing Root Causes

The Optimum Health Centre prioritizes exploring the state of your nervous system to understand the underlying factors contributing to your chronic condition. By identifying dysregulation levels, we can determine the practical steps that are necessary to promote nervous system regulation and restore the body’s innate healing capacity.

Personalised Care

Our approach involves personalized care tailored to your specific health needs and goals. We guide and support you in identifying underlying factors, implementing simple daily practices to help regulate your nervous system, and addressing critical lifestyle habits relevant to your health and well-being.

I consider myself privileged to have been able to work with Alistair. He has helped me through some incredibly difficult and stressful situations – both work- and family-related

Psychotherapy client, 2015

I have benefited so much more than I could ever have imagined or dreamt of. I have better interactions… and also my relationships have improved with all my family members.

I have been on medication for many years for anxiety attacks… This is the first life skill I have found to help me cope without medication.

Kath is smart, reliable, relatable, and human. Not only did she explain the eating principles in a clear and interesting way which meant I could really understand them and could make informed and better eating decisions, Kath also listened so all our conversations were extremely relevant and helpful. I looked forward to our weekly sessions and would not hesitate to recommend Kath to anyone wanting careful guidance on their wellness journey.

Lisa has a diverse knowledge of health and its many facets. I learnt a lot from this journey and felt supported and encouraged throughout the 6 weeks. Every interaction with Lisa left my “cup full” and I would highly recommend friends and family to invite Lisa on their health journey.
