I'm a Fellowship trained Sports and Exercise Medicine Physician with degrees in Medicine, Physiotherapy, and Occupational Health. I have significant expertise in medical nutrition therapy, especially with respect to low-carb, ketogenic, paleolithic, and carnivore diets. I regularly lecture on nutrition both in Australia and internationally. Various conditions for which I believe there to be compelling evidence for nutritional interventions include diabetes, dementia, concussion, and many autoimmune conditions. As a sports medicine physician (which required a further 4 years of study after completing medical school, internship, and residency), I also consult with many athletes and act as a consultant for professional sports teams. Additionally, I have a strong academic interest and expertise in chronic pain, especially that related to neck or lower back issues. I respect that 'doctor' in Latin derives from 'teacher' and, educate my patients on the science regarding their treatment options. This allows them to make appropriately informed decisions regarding their care. Further, where possible, my holistic approach focuses on lifestyle management first, and pharmaceuticals second.
