Hi! I founded Pulse Holistic Medical Centre in 2015. We are a team of holistic doctors and good naturopaths who offer the Sunshine Coast something a little different. We hope to give our patients the very best complementary medicine.
I am an holistic doctor with over 30 years experience on the Sunshine Coast. I am interested particularly in non pharmaceutical treatments to optimise health. This so-called integrative medicine is an eye opening, fascinating and rewarding area. I want to share what I have learned with you. If you are looking for an experienced holistic doctor, one who has a working knowledge of the naturopathic world, I would love to help you.
I am convinced that much illness is a consequence of nutritional deficiency. Many Australians are undernourished, even those who eat well. This is partly because our food is often not nutrient dense, and, unfortunately, Australian soil is typically deficient in some essential nutrients. Also many people have absorption issues, meaning they may eat good nutrients yet those nutrients may not get into their bloodstreams.
Might you be zinc, iodine, magnesium, vitamin D, iron, A, B1, B6, B9, B12, C, K or omega 3 deficient? Not sure? If so, I can sort that out for you.
Many of us have suboptimal health because of what we do or don’t eat or drink. For example, I think most cereal is not healthy food. I also think some of us would be best served avoiding tap water.
I think prevention, using integrative medicine, is a very good way to obtain optimal health. As such I will also do my best to prevent you getting sick, rather than just treat your illness.
I will give you the time you deserve. I am an holistic doctor … an “integrative” or “functional” physician. Good holistic doctors and good naturopaths treat you as the sum of a complex number of “systems.” For example, what happens in your gut is intricately connected to your heart, bones, thyroid, liver, kidneys and your brain. Sometimes doctors, even very good ones, lose touch with this fundamental truth.
There are some people who don’t bother to be proactive with their health. Yet many of them will one day, usually when they are older, be forced to confront an upsetting diagnosis in the local medical centre, A and E department, or hospital. It is then sometimes a little late to address the underlying cause(s) of their condition. The emphasis may then be on the treatment, rather than prevention, of more illness. So it is wise to realise your health, as a whole, is not outside your control….that we can manage most aspects of it by using integrative medicine.
If you would like to get the most out of your body and your mind, to live a life that realises your full potential, I would love to help you. I often work well with our good naturopaths… Gina Wilson, Danielle Roberts and Laurence Katsaras. We can offer you truly holistic complementary medicine… so you don’t become chronically unwell or a statistic.
