You’re not imagining it — and you’re not alone. At some point, often after 40, 50, or 60, many people notice that something has quietly shifted. The word that won’t come. The conversation you can’t quite recall. The brain fog that makes a simple decision feel harder than it should.
At first it’s easy to brush off as “just getting older.” But over time, the changes become harder to ignore. Perhaps you’ve noticed:
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in exactly the right place.
ABOUT ELLEN
I’m Ellen Smith, a Naturopath with nearly 30 years of clinical experience and advanced ReCODE 2.0 certification — trained directly under Dr. Dale Bredesen, the world’s leading researcher in the prevention and reversal of cognitive decline.
My work is focused on one thing: uncovering the real, underlying reasons why your brain isn’t functioning the way it should — and giving you a clear, evidence-based, personalised plan to do something about it.
Cognitive decline is not an inevitable part of ageing. It develops over years, driven by a combination of modifiable factors — inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies, chronic stress, sleep disruption, and environmental exposures. When those factors are identified and addressed, the brain has a remarkable capacity to recover.
That’s what I help people do.
WHAT’S POSSIBLE
With the right support, people who come to Ellen Smith Wellness often experience:
HOW TO GET STARTED
There are several ways to access Ellen’s expertise, depending on where you are in your journey and what feels right for you:
Naturopathic Consultations
A comprehensive one-on-one consultation via video call to explore your full health picture, identify the drivers behind your symptoms, and create a personalised plan tailored specifically to you. Available as an initial consultation or ongoing follow-up appointments.
The Memory Loss Solution
A structured 12-module program walking you through the key drivers of cognitive decline and exactly what to do about them. Available as a self-guided program or with full personalised support from Ellen.
The Gut Health Solution
A self-guided program to restore digestive health and support the gut-brain connection — because what happens in your gut has a profound effect on how your brain functions.
The Adrenal Burn-out Fix for Women
A self-guided program for women experiencing chronic stress and exhaustion, focused on nervous system recovery, hormonal balance, and sustainable energy restoration.
The Complete Detoxification Program
A self-guided program to support your liver and detoxification pathways, reduce your toxic load, and protect your brain and hormonal health from the inside out.
The Menopause Mastery Program
A comprehensive 12-module program for women navigating perimenopause and menopause — covering hormonal health, brain function, metabolism, sleep, gut health, bone health, emotional wellbeing, and more. A whole-woman approach to one of life’s most significant transitions.
THE APPROACH
Conventional medicine is extraordinary in many ways — but when it comes to cognitive decline, it has historically offered very little beyond diagnosis and management. The naturopathic and functional medicine approach is different. Rather than waiting for a diagnosis and then managing symptoms, it asks: why is this happening, and what can be done about the cause?
The research is clear that cognitive decline is driven by multiple modifiable factors. Addressing those factors — through targeted nutrition, lifestyle strategies, functional testing, and evidence-based natural interventions — gives the brain the conditions it needs to function better and, in many cases, to recover.
This is not alternative medicine. It is personalised, evidence-informed, root-cause care. And for many people, it changes everything.
You’re not alone — and it’s never too early, or too late, to start caring for your brain.

"We are so lucky to have you in our local community Ellen Smith. I have been on my journey for many years now and have followed functional medicine Drs like Dr Bredesen, Dr Perlmutter, Dr Cabeca etc. for so long, but it's very hard when they are overseas and I'm trying to get my head around everything and figuring out what I should be doing on my own and it's impossible to get the tests required to help put the pieces of the puzzle together. I am so grateful to have found someone who's trained under one of those doctors, especially Dr Bredesen, to help me navigate through and continue my journey! Thank you”
