Book NowAt Next Practice Newstead, our longevity and metabolic health program represents a proactive approach to preventive care, one that goes beyond treating illness and focuses on optimising how you feel and how you function. Delivered by our experienced GPs from our Wickham Street clinic in Fortitude Valley, this service is for patients who want to take a genuinely proactive and informed approach to their long-term health.

Longevity medicine is not about quick fixes. It is about understanding your body at a deeper level, identifying risks early, and building sustainable, evidence-based health strategies. Our GPs take a comprehensive, whole-person approach, integrating metabolic assessment, lifestyle medicine, and personalised health programming into a coherent long-term plan.
For general preventive health checks and routine screening, see our dedicated Preventive Health page. This service goes further, with detailed metabolic, hormonal, and cardiovascular assessment for patients who want a more comprehensive program.
Metabolic health is one of the most important and most overlooked foundations of long-term wellbeing. Poor metabolic health is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, hormonal imbalance, and cognitive decline, many of which develop silently over years.
At Next Practice Newstead, our GPs conduct thorough metabolic health assessments including blood glucose and insulin sensitivity, cholesterol and lipid profiles, blood pressure and cardiovascular risk markers, liver health, inflammatory markers, and hormonal health. From there, we work with you to develop a targeted, evidence-based plan through lifestyle intervention, nutritional guidance, medical management where appropriate, and ongoing monitoring.
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most powerful, and most misunderstood, things you can do for your long-term health. At Next Practice Newstead, we approach weight management with clinical depth and personalised care.
Dr Wesley Chan leads our weight management services, bringing a genuinely holistic approach to supporting patients through their weight management journey. Dr Chan understands that lasting change requires addressing the full picture, not just diet and exercise, but the individual health factors that make sustainable weight management unique to each person.
Our GPs understand that weight is influenced by a complex interaction of metabolic, hormonal, psychological, lifestyle, and genetic factors. We conduct a thorough assessment of the individual factors influencing your weight, identify any underlying contributors such as insulin resistance or thyroid dysfunction, and build a structured program tailored to your circumstances.
Support may include nutritional assessment and evidence-based dietary guidance, physical activity advice, metabolic and hormonal assessment, behavioural and lifestyle coaching, medical management where clinically appropriate, and referrals to dietitians or exercise physiologists where beneficial.
Hormonal imbalances can affect your energy, mood, sleep, weight, libido, cognitive function, and overall sense of wellbeing. Our GPs assess and manage hormonal health concerns for both men and women, including low testosterone, thyroid disorders, adrenal health, and the hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause.
We take a thorough, evidence-based approach to hormonal assessment, using comprehensive testing to build an accurate picture of your hormonal profile before developing a personalised management plan.
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in Australia, and many key risk factors are modifiable with the right support. Our GPs take a proactive approach, conducting thorough risk assessments including blood pressure, cholesterol and lipid profiles, blood glucose, family history, and lifestyle factors, providing a comprehensive picture of your current cardiovascular health and a clear plan for managing your risk.
Every longevity health program at Next Practice Newstead begins with a comprehensive assessment covering your medical history, current health status, metabolic profile, lifestyle factors, and long-term goals. From there, your GP designs a structured, evidence-based program integrating preventive care, metabolic optimisation, lifestyle medicine, and ongoing monitoring.
Your program is reviewed and refined regularly as your health evolves.
Lifestyle factors, including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and alcohol consumption, are among the most powerful determinants of long-term health. Our GPs provide evidence-based lifestyle medicine guidance as part of every longevity health program, building recommendations that are practical and achievable rather than rigid or unrealistic.
