Dr Lynette Hatherley
Integrative General Practitioner
Before studying medicine, Lynette did a science degree and completed a PhD in microwave spectroscopy, which is a branch of physical chemistry, at Monash University. She was in the first cohort to go through the University of Sydney’s Graduate Medical Program and graduated in 2001.
Realising that modern medicine did not have all the solutions for people’s health problems, Lynette undertook further study about medical acupuncture at Monash University and has done a number of courses through, for example, ACNEM (Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine).
Lynette believes that the modern lifestyle can impact negatively on people’s health but that there are many options to help us heal our bodies, which include: improving our choices for what goes inside and on the outside of our bodies, being mindful to minimise exposure to toxins in our environment, regular exercise, managing stress and correcting nutritional deficiencies. Gut health underpins the rest of our body health and once the gut is healed and maintained, many conditions will improve.
