Hi I'm Branka, Founder of Balanced Boost Wellness, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) and a Level 2 certified Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP2) an current student of Naturopathic medicine.
I am passionate about integrative health and would love to help you on your wellness journey.
Conditions I support.
- Chronic health conditions that you have been unable to resolve yourself or have not been able to find solution for
- Chronic and acute gut symptoms such as cramping, bloating, pain,
- Brain fog
- Mould
- Lyme
- Low energy
- Chronic fatigue
- Headaches and Migraines
- Liver problems including supporting health and digestion without a gallbladder
- So much more...
Balance your body. Boost your health.
It's about achieving balance in the whole body using the Integrative Health
Practitioner and Naturopathic principles of
- addressing the underlying root cause/causes
- trusting the inherent wisdom of the body to heal itself.
It's about getting to the root cause of symptoms rather than covering them up. Functional Medicine Lab Testing is an integral tool used to pinpoint the underlying imbalances and toxicities of the body to achieve homeostasis and therefore optimal health.
I have a holistic approach to wellness where all pillars, including nutrition and testing are combined to personalise a success plan for you.
Branka Henderson Founder
Branka Henderson is a certified Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP) , Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) and mother to 3 boys, with a varied past across science (Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science) , corporate and natural based health modalities and bioenergetic muscle testing techniques .
From when her youngest was born and diagnosed with idiopathic juvenile arthritis at age 3, she was not satisfied with the conventional approach of indefinite and potentially life long prescription steroids and medications for her son and discovered an alternative integrative approach to rebalancing joint inflammation with an emphasis on gut health, toxin removal and replenishing deficiencies.
Having her own health challenges, Branka once again sought integrative modalities to thrive without a gallbladder, rebalance stress, mood, sleep problems, thinning hair, female hormones, hay fever and allergies, all of which traditional treatments previously did little to improve.
From then, the integrative and holistic approach became a passion, leading to further studies and now she is committed to helping others achieve a balanced body the same way.

What is Functional Nutritional Therapy
Functional Nutritional Therapy encompasses a foundational and holistic approach to your health that focuses on nutrients, determining stressed organs and toxins and deficiencies are keeping them from working optimally.
Because this is a 'root cause' approach to underlying imbalances, all the bodies interconnected systems are addressed and function can be restored.
What to Expect
What you receive is a structured, personalised plan based on your data—not guesswork.
When we do the work properly, three things tend to change:
- Your supplement routine becomes intentional. Every recommendation has a clear purpose and is based on what your body actually needs, rather than trends or social media advice.
- Your day-to-day function often starts to feel more stable—things like energy, sleep, and cycle patterns can become more predictable, and you have clearer, data-backed information to take back to your GP if that is important to you. Of course, everyone responds differently and timelines vary.
- And perhaps most importantly, you stop feeling like the problem. Many people have been told their symptoms are just stress, hormonal, or “in their head.” In reality, the body is responding logically to the inputs it’s getting. Our job is to identify those inputs and change them so your system can function better.
Together, we’ll craft a fully personalised health plan, meticulously tailored to your body’s unique needs.
What kinds of ailments can be addressed through integrative health and functional nutrition?
Really any kind of 'chronic health condition that you have been struggling to figure out on your own, or have sought help through other avenues to little or no avail.
"Mystery' symptoms are a specialty.
- Liver and Gallbladder problems
- Kidney Problems
- Chronic gut issues including constipation, bloating, diarrhoea
- Respiratory Issues
- Joint Pain
- Lipid. cholesterol, triglyceride balance
- Pre-diabetes and blood sugar dysregulation
- Hormone balance
- ..and much more
