Dr Aniruddha Sheth (Rudy)

Rudy grew up in Perth and returned here after he studied in the University of Tasmania. He has an extensive background in working in all of the main tertiary centres of Western Australia through multiple departments as well as rurally. In particular, having worked in the Statewide Department of Neurosurgery for a number of years, he realised that his passion was in preventative medicine by addressing the root causes of diseases.

He has since developed a deep interest in nutritional and lifestyle interventions for conditions. He aims to treat metabolic and psychiatric conditions through the use of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction as per the guidelines of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners as appropriate.

Rudy completed his general practice training in the town of Geraldton with a focus on chronic disease management through the care plan system.

He treats patients of all ages and has completed the Sydney Child Health Program to facilitate improved care of infants, children and adolescents. Additionally he has managed patients under worker's compensation programs and performed pre-employment medical assessments for industry.

He also undertook the competitive RACGP Academic Post where he researched the barriers and facilitators to interventions for metabolic syndrome in rural WA general practitioners. These findings were presented at national and international primary care conferences.

Rudy continues his research and teaches medical students in the University of Western Australia.
