  1. Bravo Neil. A brave step, but not a new one for you. I will be interested to see a synopsis of the ‘Pro’ and ‘Con’ comments you receive.

  2. I am looking for A Functional medicine Practitoner in NSW or in Newcastle NSW Australia.Please let me know if you can help me find one
    Thank You

  3. Hi Rachelle & Sharryn,
    I’m looking for a Functional medicine Practitioner in Australia too, I’m in QLD but anywhere here will be better than the US. Have you found anyone? Thanks

  4. Sigal, I know three doctors in South East Qld who practice ‘holistic’ or ‘functional’ medicine. They are Dr Greg Emerson at Treat the Cause Clinic in Logan Central, Dr Elen Ap Thomas at The Medical Sanctuary at Benowa on the Gold Coast, and Dr Helen Broom at Watersprings Health Centre in Springwood. They each have different approaches, but I think they’re all good at what they do. There are also other holistic doctors at The Medical Sanctuary, but I don’t know them personally.

  5. I am looking for a functional medicine practitioner in Sydney, more specifically Kogarah, Sutherland Shire or even in Wollongong. Autoimmune disease- vascilitis/ neuropathy

  6. Is there a database for Australian doctors practicing Functional Medicine? I, like so many seekers, am finding it a challenge to find an accredited MD and a database like the US Institute of Functional Medicine would be helpful.

  7. I guess most readers are searching for the same thing! A good Functional Medicine Practitioner in their area. Im in Sydney please. Thanks & much appreciated.

  8. Looking for an accredited functional medical professional in Sydney, I am prepared to travel up to 200 km to find a real Dr who cares about helping their patients, not one interested in prescribing drugs

    I concur with Sonja above regarding Brisbane and the Gold coast. Also Dr Mike Woodbridge at Teneriffe (Brisbane)

  10. If you Google Functional Medicine and the area you are interested in hopefully something will come up for you. I did this for Canberra and it came up with the Pillar Practice in Kingston.

  11. Hi for those of you who are wondering. There is a similar australian based one called ACNEM…Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, they have a list online of accredited practitioners and area. I am a nurse and Midwife in Perth and currently studying this course.
