Book NowAt Next Practice Newstead, integrative medicine combines evidence-based general practice with nutrition, lifestyle medicine and personalised care to help you better understand your health.
Led by Dr Daryna Rudolph, our integrative medicine service takes a considered approach to exploring the factors that may contribute to your symptoms and overall wellbeing. Rather than looking at each concern in isolation, we consider how nutrition, hormonal health, digestive function, stress, sleep and metabolism may be connected.
Located on Wickham Street in Fortitude Valley, Next Practice Newstead welcomes patients from Newstead, Brisbane CBD, Bowen Hills, New Farm, Teneriffe and surrounding inner-city Brisbane suburbs.
Integrative medicine is an approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical care with appropriate nutrition, lifestyle and other evidence-informed strategies to address a person's individual health needs.
It considers the broader picture of your health, including your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, stress and relevant clinical findings. Where appropriate, your GP may recommend further investigations to help assess potential contributors to your concerns.
At Next Practice Newstead, integrative medicine is grounded in evidence-based general practice. Recommendations are tailored to your circumstances, with the aim of supporting informed decisions, appropriate treatment and sustainable health habits.
Hormones influence many aspects of health, including reproductive function, energy, mood and metabolism. We explore relevant symptoms, medical history and clinical findings to help assess hormonal concerns and changes across different life stages.
Digestive symptoms can have several possible causes. Your consultation may explore digestive patterns, dietary habits, medical history and other relevant factors to determine whether further assessment or investigation is appropriate.
Sleep quality, stress and daily routines can influence how you feel and function. We consider these factors alongside your wider health picture to identify practical strategies and appropriate medical support.
Metabolic health involves how the body regulates and uses energy. Depending on your circumstances, your GP may consider relevant risk factors, blood tests, nutrition, physical activity and other lifestyle factors as part of your individual care plan.
Nutrition plays an important role in overall wellbeing. We consider dietary patterns, nutritional history and relevant clinical findings when assessing whether nutritional changes or further investigations may be beneficial.
Reproductive health can change throughout life. Depending on your needs, integrative consultations may explore menstrual health, hormonal changes, fertility-related concerns and other reproductive health questions within the scope of appropriate general practice.
No two people have the same medical history, symptoms or priorities. Integrative medicine provides an opportunity to explore your concerns in greater depth and develop a plan that reflects your individual circumstances.
Your care may include:
Not every patient needs specialised testing. Any investigation or treatment should be guided by your symptoms, clinical assessment, the potential benefits and limitations, and the relevance of the results to your care.

An integrative medicine GP combines conventional medical assessment with appropriate nutrition and lifestyle strategies to consider the broader factors that may contribute to a person's health concerns. Care is tailored to the individual and may include investigations, treatment, lifestyle recommendations or referral when appropriate.
Depending on the individual, an integrative consultation may explore hormonal health, digestive symptoms, nutrition, sleep, stress, energy levels, metabolic risk factors and reproductive health. The appropriate assessment and treatment depend on the patient's history, symptoms and clinical findings.
Integrative medicine can incorporate evidence-based general practice, appropriate investigations and supported nutrition and lifestyle interventions. The evidence for individual tests and treatments varies, so recommendations should be evaluated on their clinical usefulness, safety and suitability for each patient.
The initial consultation includes a detailed discussion of your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle and health goals. Your GP may review previous test results, assess whether further investigations are appropriate and discuss possible treatment or lifestyle strategies. The specific approach depends on your needs.
No. Specialised testing is not necessary for every patient. Your GP can discuss whether standard pathology, other investigations or specialised tests are appropriate based on your symptoms and clinical assessment.
The terms overlap, but they are not always used in the same way. Both approaches may consider nutrition, lifestyle and factors contributing to health concerns. Integrative medicine at Next Practice Newstead is delivered within a general practice framework, with investigations and recommendations selected according to individual clinical needs.
