Hi, I’m Michael Smith, ND BHSC
Head Practitioner at Planet Naturopath
My path to naturopathy came from my own experience — years as a chef in Melbourne left me burnt out with chronic digestive issues until naturopathic medicine transformed my health. That personal journey is what drives my work with clients today.
I’ve been practicing naturopathy and functional medicine for over 20 years, working with clients across Australia, the US, and beyond. I’m a registered naturopath with the Australian Natural Therapists Association and have completed advanced training in functional medicine including the Kalish Method, Kresser Institute, and training with Dr. Ben Lynch and Dr. Nirala Jacobi.
Most of my clients come to me after years of being told their results are “normal” — yet they still feel exhausted, bloated, hormonally imbalanced, or just not right. Functional medicine testing often reveals what standard testing misses, and having a clear picture of what’s actually happening makes all the difference to getting the right outcome.
If you’re searching for answers, the best place to start is with the right testing — and I can help you figure out exactly what that looks like for you.

Grateful for Michael’s Prompt and Caring Support
I’m grateful for Michael’s kind and caring response to my questions and giving me a quote so quickly. I’ve heard so many good things about him in online forums. Also his website has very good information and resources, tests and consulting too. I’m excited to discover Planet Naturopath.
18 Years of Exceptional Health Guidance
Myself and my family have been guided to optimum health by Michael over the past 18 years..he has vast knowledge across many health and wellbeing issues with extraordinary treatment success.I would recommend him most highly ..
Finding the root cause
Would highly recommend. Do yourself a favor and use Michael for any specialized tests you need analyzed or interpreted. Extremely compassionate, knowledgeable, and answers any and all questions. Knows the ins and outs of all the tests and gets your health going in the right direction. Is not necessarily super supplement driven and all natural based! Extremely responsive to any follow-up questions. Most docs or providers would make you schedule a separate appt and pay tons to answer a question.
Thank you for your help
I am a CEO and have worked with over 10 doctors over the years with multiple issues including anxiety, inflammation and mold toxicity. Michael truly understands how the system works and addresses root causes. He is beyond able to help people heal if they take his guidance. I am so grateful for his wisdom in my life and my healing.
Great Results
Michael is obviously very interested and caring in the health of his patients . He is a very careful listener and works with you to fit your lifestyle and your health needs . Excellent results working with him!
