Introducing Peta Harpas

Meet Our New Practitioner!

"As a Functional Nutritionist, my passion for natural health was shaped by my upbringing and personal experiences. During my teens I lost my menstrual cycle due to overstressing my body and undereating. Despite being offered birth control numerous times to 'regulate' my period, I chose to heal naturally, discovering the power of proper nutrition and self-care. This journey ignited my deep interest in gut health, hormones, and skin.

My approach goes beyond simply treating symptoms. It aims to address the root cause(s) of health issues, promote vitality and improve overall quality of life. By using bioindividual nutrition, lifestyle recommendations, functional testing and blood pathology, I formulate targeted and realistic plans tailored to address your unique health concerns.  I firmly believe that food is medicine, and my goal is to empower my clients to take control of their health and thrive. Using food as medicine, along with other techniques can be so powerful to restore balance in the body.

I'm constantly learning and expanding my knowledge to provide clients with the most effective strategies for achieving lasting health. Gut health is where everything begins. Through balanced nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, we can unlock your full potential so you can enjoy a vibrant life free of unwanted symptoms."

Personalised Treatment Plans

Even though we are all human, we are biologically and genetically different. What works for one person won’t work for another. We all have different requirements and lifestyles. Therefore it is vital to develop a personalised and professional treatment plan to cater for YOUR specific needs.

Meet Jacquie

Founder & Director

I’ve been on a pretty wild health journey myself, which is what led me to realise there’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to nutrition. There’s also a lot of noise in this space, and most of it just makes things more confusing than it needs to be.

That’s exactly why I created Better Than Bread and The Better Range, to cut through the b/s and give people something that actually makes sense.

Through our consults, we focus on helping you understand what’s actually going on in your body, not guessing, not following trends, and not throwing random supplements at the problem.

We take a science-based approach, looking at things like pathology, symptoms and lifestyle, so we’re not just aiming for “within range”, we’re aiming for what actually feels good and works long term.

And while this started with just me, Better Than Bread is now growing into a team that works the same way, focused on getting to the root of what’s going on and helping you make changes that actually stick, not quick fixes or band-aid solutions.

Specialties

  • Hormone Health

    Are you constantly being told that the only option for your hormonal issues is the oral contraceptive pill, or other hormonal contraceptives? We are here to tell you that there are other options out there that do not involve a band-aid approach.

  • Digestive Health

    Have you been diagnosed with IBS? How is your digestive system functioning? Do you experience discomfort such as abdominal pains, cramping, bloating, burping, or regular nausea? Are your bowel movements regular without the aid of coffee, or do you find them unpredictable? If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, with the right testing and support, it is possible to be symptom-free.

Comprehensive Testing Methods

Unlocking Your Health Potential through Advanced Diagnostic Tests

One of my greatest mantras has become “test, don’t guess”. Our team is highly trained in blood pathology testing and offer a wide range of functional tests including:

  • Complete microbiome mapping using either the GI-MAP (GI-Microbial Assay Plus)
  • Microba microbiome testing
  • Vaginal microbiome profile testing
  • OMX ™ Organic Metabolomics test

Online consultations are available via Zoom.
