Dr Sheena Burnell

Originally trained as anaesthetist, I have worked both in Australia and overseas and during my years in the operating room, seen first-hand the impact of lifestyle choices on the body. The further I progressed in my career the more I realised that despite the many advances in modern medicine, we were long overdue for a shift in the way we thought about healthcare and disease prevention. With the advent of the global pandemic and the obvious effect that poor health had on disease impact and resilience I knew I wanted to practice medicine differently. After undertaking further training I established a unique medical practice in Brisbane focusing specifically on lifestyle and longevity medicine. My aim is to optimise current health and then provide my patients with the knowledge and tools they need to enjoy their maximum healthy years. I have special interests in nutritional medicine, exercise medicine, epigenetics and the genome, the gut microbiome, preservation of brain health & cognitive function, sleep optimisation, hormonal support, and maximising longevity.

I believe it’s the life in your years as well as the years in your life, and my goal is to help you achieve your best self in the future, with the knowledge you need now.
