Meet Chantel Ryan
Hi, I’m Chantel - naturopath, functional medicine practitioner, admitted lawyer (non-practising since 1 July 2025), board director and mum to one beautiful IVF baby. My personal health journey -including years of gut issues and fertility challenges - is what led me here and fuels my passion for helping others find real answers.
In my 20’s, functional testing revealed a Helicobacter pylori infection that conventional care had missed. From there, everything changed. I stopped guessing, started healing, and never looked back.
Now in my 40s, I’m navigating hormonal shifts, raising a little one and running two purpose-driven businesses. I know firsthand what it’s like to juggle it all and still feel like your health is being left behind.
That’s why I created Real Functional Health — a place where we use advanced testing and simple, targeted wellness plans to help you feel better, faster. No fluff. No fads. Just science-backed strategies that work in real life.
Why choose Real Functional Health?
At Real Functional Health, we believe in a grounded, no-fuss approach to wellbeing. Our method is designed to help you understand your body, identify imbalances, and create meaningful change that lasts.
