About Dr. Greg Emerson

Dr Greg Emerson is an internationally recognised authority on health and vitality. He is interviewed regularly on America’s most popular health television programme because of his dedication to finding the underlying root cause of illnesses and his daily medical tips are translated into Mandarin and distributed throughout China. He writes regularly for one of Americas most widely distributed health newsletters.

He was the Founder and Medical Director of the Emerson Health and Wellness Centre which opened in October 2005. In May 2008 he became co-director of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine Queensland based in Brisbane Australia. He is a consultant in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, a senior specialist in Emergency Medicine and in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine.

For 18 years he practiced in several large public hospitals including a period of time as an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Canada and as the Director of the Wesley Center for Hyperbaric Medicine in Brisbane. He is a senior lecturer, examiner and current board member for the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine and a past-examiner for the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine. A long personal battle with illness led him on a profound exploration of healing processes and the prevention of illness. He reappraised both his medical focus and the way he approached health care delivery.

He has undertaken postgraduate training in:

• Nutritional and Environmental medicine with the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM).
• Free Radical Therapy with the Institute for Health Realities.
• Bioidentical hormones and anti-aging medicine with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

He is an active member of all of the above organisations being one of only a few Australian members of ACAM and the only Australian member of the PAAS. He is a Fellow of both the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine and the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine. He is also an advanced NAET practitioner- a system based on Eastern medicine principles designed to diagnose and treat food, inhaled and chemical sensitivities. He is Australias leading and most experienced medical live blood microscopist. He spent a year working alongside a Professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine to better understand the Eastern Medicine approach to disease.

In 1997 he published the Western world’s largest epidemiological research paper on pesticide poisoning and has written extensively in the medical literature on carbon monoxide poisoning and diving medicine. He is the author of the chapter on decompression illness in the prestigious Textbook of Adult Emergency Medicine. In 2008 he co-authored a research paper on the use of intravenous magnesium in cardiac arrythmias which was published in the journal Academic Emergency Medicine.

Dr Emerson played professional basketball for five years. He is a certified PADI dive instructor and an NLP trainer. On a personal note he is a passionate student of Latin dance, a lover of Kundalini yoga, a keen traveller and an enthusiastic skiier. He is currently learning the Japanese language.

He believes in the intrinsic ability of the body to heal itself if the underlying cause of the illness is addressed. His practice revolves around identifying the sub-clinical defects common to all degenerative diseases and then using his unique 8 point INSIGHTS programme to return the body to health.

His main clinical interests are:

• Acid:alkaline balance and the role of chronic systemic fungal infections in health and illness (mycology).
• Adrenal and thyroid disorders, particularly the management of adrenal fatigue and subclinical hypothyroidism.
• Food and chemical sensitivity.
• Chronic toxic metal poisonings (such as mercury and lead), particularly the use of intravenous and oral chelating agents in common degenerative diseases.
• Anti-Aging medicine, particularly maintenance of youthful hormone levels and prolongation of anabolic metabolism with physiological doses of bioidentical hormones.

Dr Emerson regularly lectures both within Australia and internationally on Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. He also runs his own successful international medical conference. His mission is to provide people with the knowledge, tools and motivation to live a life of extraordinary health, vitality and longevity.
