Our Team
Functional Medicine, Specialist & General Practice Doctor
Dr. Aparna Hegde
1995 MBBS UWA graduate and FRACGP with a certification in Anti-Aging Medicine (A5M) who practises integrative and functional medicine in Perth with a special interest in positive aging and longevity. I also have an interest in aerospace medicine having spent 11 years as a full-time RAAF doctor and completing the Diploma in Aviation Medicine in the UK and gaining a fellowship in the Australasian College of Aerospace Medicine.
I have found the holistic approach caters well for the individual and aims to restore balance to the way the body functions. This includes addressing any physical deficiencies, nutrient imbalances, issues with detoxification, hormonal irregularities, mental stressors and restoring a sense of purpose. The aim is just not to treat the current health problems but address the causes to prevent any that may occur in the future due to genetic, environmental and physiological traits. If you don’t look, you don’t find. If you don’t find, you can’t treat and all you can do is manage symptoms. I found that cosmetic (laser, threads, injectables) and regenerative procedures (platelet rich plasma and stromal vascular fraction) dovetails well into the ageing well approach I love to practise. My aim is to make my patients look and feel younger to live their best quality and quantity of life.
