oFFers options<br />

for treating causes<br />

not just symptoms<br />

Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired?<br />

You may be surprised to find one of New Zealand’s<br />

most highly qualified and experienced<br />

health care experts in Hornby.<br />

At Stay Well Pharmacy on Shands Road, Naturopathic<br />

Pharmacist Mark Webster provides<br />

patients with options over and above standard<br />

medicinal and pharmaceutical care.<br />

“Integrated Medicine is about taking the best<br />

of everything,” Mark says. “By looking at diet,<br />

lifestyle, exercise and daily routines, I can<br />

provide solutions that treat the cause of your<br />

discomfort. Not just the symptoms.”<br />

For Mark, this means continually studying<br />

to keep up with the latest advancements in<br />

healthcare and medicine.<br />

“At the moment, I’m working towards my<br />

Master of Science in Integrated Medicine<br />

through George Washington University in<br />

America. Last year I completed a five year Fellowship<br />

in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine,<br />

having been a qualified pharmacist for <strong>26</strong><br />

years.”<br />

Mark’s approach to Integrated Medicine is<br />

attracting national attention. Having been a<br />

finalist for the past two years, in July Mark<br />

won the <strong>2017</strong> New Zealand Pharmacy Award<br />

for the Best Complementary Healthcare<br />

Campaign and this year he won the Kiwibank<br />

New Zealander of the year Local Hero Award.<br />

While he doesn’t mind the recognition, his<br />

main motivation is seeing his patients find a<br />

new lease on life.<br />

“Everyone is different. What works for one<br />

person may not work for another. By bringing<br />

together advice from a patient’s doctor, dietitian,<br />

physiotherapist, or other health professional,<br />

I want to support people in finding a<br />

healthier way of living that works for them,”<br />

says Mark.<br />

Healthy solutions start with quality choices,<br />

so Mark only stocks products, vitamins and<br />

minerals that are backed by peer-reviewed,<br />

evidence-based research.<br />

On Tuesdays, Mark runs private consultations<br />

at the Pharmacy for you to discuss your health<br />

concerns. From that, he can design you a personalised<br />

wellness plan to help you live well,<br />

and stay well.<br />

Initial appointments are 60 minutes and additional<br />

appointments are typically half an hour.<br />

Mark’s training covers a wide range of conditions,<br />

but he has a special passion for skin<br />

conditions, gastro-intestinal issues, hormonal<br />

complaints or if you are simply sick and tired<br />

of constantly feeling sick or tired. Bookings are<br />

essential.<br />

If you would like to find out what a difference<br />

working with a Naturopathic Pharmacist can<br />

make to your health, call and make an appointment<br />
