Ocean Shores Nutritional and Environmental Medicine

A General Practice with a Unique Approach This medical practice stands apart by combining traditional general practice with expertise in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (OSNEM). The doctors, highly experienced in general medicine, also specialise in identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues, such as nutrient deficiencies, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and environmental stressors. By blending evidence-based modern medicine with integrative, well-researched therapies, the practice is committed to helping patients achieve long-term health and wellness. Services Offered Comprehensive General Practice The practice provides care for both acute and chronic conditions, offering a variety of consultation options tailored to individual needs. New patients undergo a thorough initial assessment to explore their health history and address their specific concerns, ensuring personalised care. Nutritional and Environmental Medicine This specialised approach recognises the significant impact of underlying factors, including digestive dysfunction, food intolerances, nutrient depletion, and environmental stressors, on overall health. By understanding each patient’s unique requirements, the doctors develop customised plans to restore balance and optimise well-being. Advanced Laboratory Testing The practice utilises functional testing, such as Organic Acid Testing (OAT) and Comprehensive Hormone and Digestive Stool Analysis, to identify underlying imbalances that traditional tests may not detect. These advanced diagnostic tools provide insights into nutrient deficiencies, hormonal irregularities, and digestive health, guiding targeted treatments. Please note that some tests incur private billing costs and are not covered by Medicare. IV Nutrient Therapy For conditions such as nutrient deficiencies or gastrointestinal malabsorption, the practice offers intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy. This approach delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, potentially enhancing absorption and providing therapeutic benefits. All patients considering IV therapy are thoroughly assessed by the doctors to ensure it aligns with their health needs. A Commitment to Holistic Health This practice integrates the best of modern medicine with a holistic focus, aiming to address the root causes of health issues rather than simply treating symptoms. With a dedication to personalised care and advanced diagnostics, the team works to empower patients on their journey to sustained wellness.
