GenBiome - Edgecliff, NSW - Integrative Medical Clinic
At Next Practice our mission, put simply, is to provide the best healthcare experience on the planet Earth!
Genbiome is a patient-centric, team based medical practice in the
Eastern Suburbs of Sydney with experienced medical, complementary and
allied healthcare practitioners. We collaborate between various health
modalities to provide patients with a comprehensive whole person
approach based on modern functional medicine principles.
Our patients have access to a well-regarded healthcare team assembled by Dr Christabelle Yeoh, who has a strong interest in chronic disease management, neurological, gastrointestinal and metabolic health.
Our team believes that we can better care for our patients when
healthcare is based on relationships, trust, collaboration and
understanding. Personalised medicine views each patient as genetically
and biochemically unique. We focus on nurturing the patient, not just
addressing the disease. Based on conventional scientific evidence;
individualised medicine understands that our health and wellbeing is
connected in a complex web of relationships. Through clinical
assessments, we get an understanding of your particular underlying
issues and apply specific treatment and advice that assists in the
body’s natural healing mechanism.
Whether you are experiencing
symptoms of fatigue, stress, chronic disease, accelerated aging,
recurrent infections, complex neurological or environmental illnesses,
infertility, weight gain, poor sleep, depression, digestive symptoms or
brain and cognition concerns; the underlying patterns of your body’s
dysfunction are treated with established practices of functional,
integrative, nutritional and environmental medicine.
We combine
in-depth knowledge of neuroplasticity, epigenetics, microbiome and
mitochondrial science to understand the pieces of your health puzzle.
This may be particularly useful when you have a chronic or complex
condition and want to understand how to improve function as well as take
further preventive and multi-faceted approaches to optimise your health
outcome.
By identifying the root causes in the mechanical,
biochemical, physiological, neurological or psycho spiritual levels of
your health, we create a treatment plan to help address your chronic
conditions and support the improvement of your overall health.
Conveniently located in Edgecliff Court (3 minutes’ walk from
Edgecliff train station), our medical practice opened its doors to the
community in October 2018.
Upon your visit, you’ll discover a
purpose-built medical practice, designed to create a modern and healing
space. The effect is one of comfort and nurture, not rushed or
impersonal.
Tailored programs of care are co-ordinated by our
Patient Advocates for those with chronic health conditions. We also
support clients with other health concerns and those that are looking to
optimise their overall performance or gut-brain health.

At Next Practice, we want to provide a bridge to those that are less fortunate than us in any way we can. That's
why for every consultation at a Next Practice medical centre, we donate a
vaccination to someone in need in the developing world. We call it our
NextAid initiative.
Since beginning our NextAid initiative, just over two years ago, the Next Practice community has donated a total of 73,354 vaccinations! Our community donated 1,902 vaccinations in November 2021 alone.
Proceeds from each patient consultation within the Next Practice
network is donated through UNICEF Australia to sponsor
a vaccination against Maternal Tetanus. At the moment, our goal is to
focus solely on Maternal Tetanus (MNT) vaccinations to eliminate the
disease in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) represents a very high proportion of the total Tetanus disease. MNT is a swift and painful killer disease and extremely fatal in newborns- killing 30,848 newborns in 2017 alone.
MNT has been among the most common life-threatening consequences of unclean deliveries and umbilical cord care practices and are indicators of inequity in access to immunization and other maternal, newborn, and child health services.
Once the disease is contracted, the fatality rate can be as high as 100% without hospital care and between 10% to 60% with hospital care. The true extent of the Tetanus death toll is not known as many newborns and mothers die at home and neither the birth nor the death is reported.
This happens despite the fact that MNT deaths can be easily prevented
by hygienic delivery and cord care practices, and/or by immunizing
children and women with Tetanus Toxoid Containing Vaccines (TTCV), that
are inexpensive and very effective, through the life course.
While progress continues to be made, 13 countries have still not reached the MNTE status, including Papa New Guinea. Activities to achieve the goal are on-going in these countries and the World Health Organisation is hopeful that many are likely to achieve MNTE in the near future.
Look out for further information on donations on our News and Articles page or in the clinic.
