He is a medical doctor practising holistic medicine, that is an approach to medicine based on addressing a variety of aspects of the client’s life, including diet, exercise, stress management, lifestyle and thought patterns rather than just a disease or symptom in isolation.
What do his consultations involve?
A thorough review of your main presenting issue, and its relationship to diet, exercise, stress management, coping mechanisms, medical history, and your individual make up. This will form the basis of a comprehensive treatment plan.

- An in-depth understanding of your individual bodily make-up and how to tailor your diet and lifestyle to
this make-up - A choice of conventional and non-pharmacological treatment options for managing your health issues
- Both basic and advanced laboratory testing including nutrient testing, salivary hormone testing, liver metabolism testing, food intolerance and intestinal flora testing.
- Imaging tests and referrals to specialists when required.
- An understanding of your medical conditions from both a scientific and natural medicine perspective.
What are Dr. Gupta's main areas of interest?
His main areas of interest are chronic fatigue states, depressive and anxiety disorders, hormonal imbalance and irritable bowel syndrome. He also treats all medical and general practice conditions.
Do I need to be sick to see him?
No! Anyone can benefit from a more thorough understanding of their individual make-up, some basic testing to assess their current state of health, and a personalized diet and lifestyle plan.
How does Dr Gupta’s practice differ from a conventional general practice?
His practice involves longer consultations, a more holistic consultation-style and a different billing system than the standard model of general practice.

Not at the Bardon Counselling Centre, as he practices as a holistic doctor rather than a GP. However, most tests ordered by him are covered by a Medicare rebate.
