ABOUT US

Why choose our clinic?

Since our inception in 2014 by Jabe Brown, one of Australia’s first qualified functional medicine practitioners, our vision remains steadfast: to use the best health toolkit available to help people like you become the best versions of themselves.

Our aim for this page is to help you make an informed decision when choosing a clinic. After all, healthcare is one of the most personal journeys you’ll embark on, and it’s crucial to have a team that aligns with your needs.

Authenticity

Authenticity in any health optimisation offering should reflect a long-standing history of healthcare experience, not just in the latest trends in longevity and biohacking.

At our clinic, founded by an experienced practitioner and operated by dedicated healthcare professionals, health and longevity are not side projects – they’re our life’s work.

We’re passionate about progress, growth, and results – not just for our business and ourselves, but for you, too. We’ll be committed to your long-term health outcomes, as we have been for our patients over the past decade, and we’ll plan to continue supporting you for decades to come.

Beyond disease prevention

Health creation involves a deep understanding of human physiology and biochemistry, setting it apart from the allopathic medicine model. While we respect general practitioners and specialists for their roles in managing disease and injury, our focus is on detecting imbalances that could lead to illness, and addressing the hallmarks of ageing to enhance both lifespan and quality of life.

With functional medicine, you’ll benefit from a methodology that identifies and addresses dysfunction at its root cause. This approach enables us to support health creation at the cellular and epigenetic levels, helping you achieve optimal well-being.
