Rupali Lal

Functional Nutritionist Specialising in Gut Health

Rupali is a dedicated professional in holistic health, combining her pharmacy background with functional nutrition to support her clients on their journey to optimal well-being. Her personal experience with digestive dysfunction during pharmacy school led her to explore various remedies, but it wasn’t until she delved into Functional Nutritional Therapy ten years later that she recognized the importance of addressing the root causes of health issues rather than merely managing symptoms. This realization was a turning point in her life and career.
 
As a registered New Zealand pharmacist, Rupali brings a unique perspective to her practice. She understands the value of conventional medicine but is equally committed to holistic approaches that consider the whole person. This dual perspective allows her to offer comprehensive care that encompasses ancestral wisdom, experiential knowledge and scientific research.
 
Through her virtual clinic, Pause.Breathe.Live, Rupali specializes in gut health and hormone balance, utilizing functional testing to remove the guesswork and create tailored health plans. She is dedicated to helping clients who feel stuck in their health journeys, guiding them to heal from the inside out. Her approach is rooted in the belief that true healing requires addressing the underlying causes of health issues, rather than just treating symptoms.
 
In addition to her expertise in gut and hormone health, Rupali is a certified Breathwork Facilitator, incorporating breathwork into her practice to support mental and physical well-being. She meets her clients wherever they are on their journey, offering compassionate guidance and practical solutions to help them achieve lasting health and vitality.
