Advise Me Healthy is an evidence-based supplement education and guidance service led by Dr Tracey Classens, a registered naturopath based in South Africa, providing professional online services to adults locally and internationally.
Advise Me Healthy was created to support individuals who feel overwhelmed, confused, or uncertain about supplements due to conflicting information, aggressive marketing claims, or a lack of personalised guidance. The service focuses on helping adults make informed, safe, and appropriate decisions about supplement use using a science-informed, practitioner-led approach.
The core service offering includes personalised supplement plans and professional supplement reviews. These are designed for adults who are already using supplements or considering supplementation and want clarity on what is appropriate, necessary, and evidence-supported for their individual needs. Each plan takes into account health history, lifestyle factors, existing medical conditions, and current medication or supplement use, with particular attention to safety and interactions.
Advise Me Healthy places strong emphasis on supplement safety, dosage appropriateness, and realistic expectations. Guidance is grounded in current scientific research, clinical reasoning, and established professional standards. The approach avoids fear-based messaging and unnecessary supplementation, prioritising informed decision-making and practical education over trends or hype.
In addition to personalised services, Advise Me Healthy provides accessible educational resources to help the public better understand supplement use. These include guidance on how to read supplement labels, how to identify misleading claims, how to understand ingredient lists and dosages, and how to recognise when supplements may be unnecessary or potentially harmful. The goal is to empower individuals with knowledge so they can engage more confidently and responsibly with supplement products.
Advise Me Healthy commonly supports adults seeking guidance for:
General wellbeing and preventative health support
Digestive and gut health concerns
Immune system support
Age-related nutritional considerations
Fatigue, stress, and lifestyle-related concerns
Navigating supplement use alongside chronic conditions or prescribed medications
All services are educational and guidance-based in nature and do not replace medical care or diagnosis. Where appropriate, clients are encouraged to work alongside their primary healthcare providers.
Services are delivered online, allowing Advise Me Healthy to support clients beyond geographic boundaries while maintaining a professional, structured, and confidential process. This model makes the service particularly suitable for adults who prefer clear written guidance, evidence-based explanations, and practitioner oversight without unnecessary appointments or product sales pressure.
Advise Me Healthy does not manufacture or sell supplements. This independence allows recommendations to remain objective and focused solely on appropriateness, quality considerations, and individual context rather than brand promotion. Where products are discussed, the emphasis is on formulation quality, evidence strength, and suitability rather than marketing claims.
Professional integrity, transparency, and education are central to the business ethos. Clients are guided to understand why a supplement may or may not be suitable, rather than simply being told what to take. This approach supports long-term health literacy and safer supplement use.
Advise Me Healthy serves adults who value a calm, evidence-informed, and professional perspective on supplements and well being. The service is particularly well suited to individuals who are cautious, research-minded, or seeking reassurance that their supplement choices align with their health goals and current evidence.
Based in South Africa, Advise Me Healthy works with both local and international clients through online services, making professional supplement guidance accessible regardless of location.
