My name is Mark Hinchey and I am a registered nutritionist and naturopath.
My education includes a Master of Health Education (Nutrition), Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine), Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary)/Bachelor of Health and Physical Education (Hons.), and an Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy, Nutrition Medicine and Western Herbal Medicine.
I am the co-author of the 2010 book, The Paradigm Shift in Health and author of the 2009 thesis, Reconceptualising the philosophical foundations of health education with respect to the impact of food technology on human health.
At present I am a Trainer/Tutor, at WEA Hunter, teaching naturopathic and nutrition students in the areas of nutritional medicine and advanced medical science, as well as a consultant for the Hunter Academy of Sport.
My main areas of interest include nutrition for sports performance, weight management, neurodegenerative disorders and Autism (Certified MINDD Practitioner).
I am married to my wife of 11 years, Lindsay, and we have 3 children aged 8, 5 and 4.
Mark changed my life. After 8 consultations I feel as though I have stepped back 15 years. Meeting Mark was, on the surface, an accident. Somehow, now, I don’t really think it was an accident.
Spotted your new office under construction today – well done! Hope it goes brilliantly.
Suffering with arthritis and consequently o/wgt & a healthy dose of old age! Might give you a call & have a chat if you can do something about that for me
Cheers

I just came from my first naturopath meeting with Mark Hinchey. He is an amazing communicator explaining simply the complexity of how the organs in my body functions in relation to the prescribed medication my body intakes. I took the meds which helped the conditions, lacking understanding of the changes it made to my body. Things you experience so much the changes become ‘normal’, which I accepted and didn’t question.. While this sounds elementary, as Mark began to talk and explain things, I could not believe how much I began to understand as knowledge increased which positively immediatly affected my wellbeing. For the first time in many years, I felt real hope for the future where my physical ability is concerned. I now know I can and will be able to intervene with the outcome of my health. When I walked inMark Hinchey’s office, I came in with an unpleasant picture in my head of the future a doctor outlined to me. I walked out of Mark Hinchey’s office with insight to my body along with a couple of revelations needed to help me, help my body, and not just for a day, but with a great understanding and motivation for every day. It was profound to say the least.
I was candid and honest with information which I know helped him to help me, and that is critical, but it is what he does with that information, giving it back with knowledge that has already changed my mindset.He gave me keys to unlock the doors of limitations that I had felt imprisoned by. I did not know what to expect with Mark, I’d never seen a naturopath before, but I am so sorry I have not done so before now. It is my first visit, but it will not be my last. We have a goal and a deadline I desire to meet. I want to be able to enjoy my overseas visit with my families and not be hindered or hinder others because of body limitations, which can be helped with changes I make. I am so impressed with Mark Hinchey’s professionalism, intelligence, thoughtful insight, wisdom and genuine care, I can only believe that not only will I succeed under the accountability and guidance I will receive from him, I believe he will succeed greatly in his business. He is everything one looks for in a professional, and once found, stays. You can go to Mark Hinchey and refer him to others with confidence. He’s a keeper!
Just seen my comment from 26 May – just before I bit the bullet and made an appointment.
That now seems a life time ago! In the space of 6 weeks, Mark has made an incredible difference in the quality of my life.
Though not always pleasant (can’t stand gluten free bread!), Mark has caused me to reflect on my diet and its impact on my health, my lifestyle and my work commitments. Across the range of my life small changes have been made resulting in increased energy, less pain from arthritis and, above all, a definite sense of well being – and simple happiness – in life.
Can not recommend Mark’s expertise enough!
I, like Trevor came across Mark by accident….. Perhaps not, now that I reflect how much he has helped me. He was able to help me become more aware of the complexities of my auto immune disorder. Mark with his support, encouragement, his treatment options and food suggestions has reduced my blood inflammatory markers greatly. I have in turn lost weight, feel more vibrant and am more in tune with my body and it’s reactions to food and medications. Mark is my health GURU and I can highly reccommend a visit with him. He has a gentle nature and knows his ability to help others….which he does so well. The contact with him in between consults is something I have never experienced before…. so Thank you Mark for changing my life.
