We Support

• Health Optimisation & Longevity

  Akana is deeply focused on supporting our clients to optimise their health and longevity. As well as helping treat and heal, we’re also passionate about preventing illness and maintaining full health and vitality at every stage.

  Our highly qualified practitioners will be your guide through the fascinating field of biohacking, supporting you to engage with the body and lifestyle changes best suited to enhancing your energy and wellbeing.

• Autoimmune Disease

  At Akana, we understand the profound impact that autoimmune disease has on the body and the challenges it presents.

  With autoimmune disease – which encompasses more than 80 disorders (such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus) – being one of Australia’s most significant chronic health problems, we proudly offer complementary support to typical treatment approaches.

  Further, the Akana team aims to uncover underlying triggers and factors involved in the initiation of your autoimmune disease, as well as factors that continue to exacerbate it.

• Gastrointestinal Disorders & Gut Health

  Akana specialises in supporting people living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) and other difficult digestive / gut symptoms.

  As well as assessing and treating these conditions, we embrace the exciting and evolving world of the microbiome – including exploring microbiome imbalances and pattens – to more effectively address gastrointestinal and gut health issues and, in doing so, improve quality of life.

• Metabolic Health & Weight Loss

  The Akana team knows one size never fits all when it comes to metabolic health and weight loss. We recognise that individualised assessment, investigations and body typing much more effectively guide a personalised approach in this vital space.

  We believe in Health at Every Size (HAES) and work with our clients’ strengths to support them to achieve their personal goals.

• Mental Health

  Akana practitioners look at mental health holistically and consider its various factors when assessing and treating it.

  We provide the highest quality care, including evidence-based lifestyle approaches and nutrient supplementation, as individually indicated.

  With 4 out of 10 Australian adults experiencing a mental health disorder at some point in their life, this is an area we’re incredibly passionate about making a difference in.

• Headaches & Migraines

  With these conditions heavily impacting quality of life, the Akana team focuses on exploring their root causes.

  We address headache and migraine issues using a potent multi-faceted approach that encompasses making lifestyle changes, embracing gentle, effective physical therapies, and utilising evidence-based nutritional and herbal supports.

• Fatigue & Long COVID

  Akana specialises in investigating the myriad possible factors which may be contributing to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) – also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) – long COVID and other post-viral fatigue states.

  We offer the opportunity to look into avenues that may not have been adequately explored by traditional medical pathways. Our practitioners will consider critical factors such as diet, movement, sleep, gut health (including absorption challenges), microbiome imbalances, hormonal issues, environmental impacts, toxin exposure, emotional stress and occult infections.

• Unexplained Symptoms & Difficult Diagnoses

  Many people experience so-called ‘mystery’ symptoms and illnesses which traditional medical routes have failed to diagnose.

  Akana’s doctors and practitioners are well equipped to solve these types of complex health issues, in the vein of famed medical TV House M.D, thanks to our comprehensive approach. This includes an intensive first appointment where we gather an extensive medical history, followed by a thorough examination and focused investigations, including standard and functional medicine testing.

  For patients who’ve endured long, unsuccessful medical journeys, finding answers and beginning the process of healing is truly life-affirming.
