Dr Jonathon Duffy MB, BS , FRACGP, Grad Dip App Sci
(Nutritional and Environmental Medicine)
General Practitioner - Specialising in Biomedical
approaches to health care.
A Biomedical approach
recognises conditions such as Autism, ADHD, allergies,
learning and language delay and behavioral disorders as
part of a combined Brain-Immune-Digestive problem in the
individual,
often
leading
to
nutrient
deficits,
neurotransmitter imbalances and poor immune function.
Biomedicine works to correct nutrient deficits and biochemical imbalances with an emphasis on treating the
individual for optimal cellular health. Blood, urine, stool and other tests hone in on specific individual deficits in
order that therapeutic doses of minerals, vitamins, amino acids and essential fats can be prescribed.
Food sensitivities, fatigue, poor sleep, asthma, eczema, irritability, poor concentration, memory issues, mood
swings and muscle and joint pain can also be assisted by a Biomedical approach.
