Dr. Mark Donohoe, ACNEM President, graduated from Sydney University in 1980, opening his medical practice on the Central Coast New South Wales in 1983. The patients of his new practice led him into the fields of Environmental Medicine and Nutritional Medicine. He was awarded fellowships from the Australian Society of Environmental Medicine (ASEM), the Australasian College of Nutritional & Environmental Medicine (ACNEM), and more recently the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine (ASLM). Over his 38 years in practice, Mark has specialised in the fields of chronic fatigue syndrome, environmental and occupational toxicology, and sensory sensitivities including multiple chemical sensitivity.

Mark and Fiona work together with an underlying philosophy that health in all its forms is the best prevention of disease, and that most disease is best managed by clean air, clean food, clean water and a commitment to a diet and lifestyle that is health enhancing.

Dr. Joachim Fluhrer practices medicine based on combination of nutritional and standard medical practice. Each patient is an individual, with their own genetics, their individual upbringing and experiences. All this, combined with current lifestyle, medications, exercises, nutrition, emotional and mental is creating the circumstances in which the patient finds themselves. Diagnostic analysis is mainly based on standard biochemical testing plus highly specialised and individual test from Australian and European laboratories. This allows a much more accurate diagnosis of underlying deficiencies, toxicities, enzyme and hormone imbalances, plus microbial dysbiosis. In addition, highly specific genetic testing can be done both for prevention and for cancer treatment. High quality and accredited European Laboratories are being consulted. Treatments are based on restoring normal biochemical function, together with appropriate nutrition and lifestyle changes. Pharmaceutical medicines are used when appropriate. Health and wellbeing is paramount for each individual. Analysing the individual situation, modifying biochemistry to achieve optimal balance and monitoring an ongoing treatment and support program will achieve the best possible outcome.
