Clinical nutrition and microbiome medicine, grounded in research.

PhD Clinical Nutritionist & Herbalist

Dr Brad Leech

Where microbiome science meets the clinic.

For more than fifteen years, Dr Brad Leech has been the clinician patients turn to with their most complex gut and autoimmune cases and the mentor other practitioners learn from. A PhD-qualified Clinical Nutritionist and Herbalist, he turns advanced microbiome testing into clear, practical care that makes sense of stubborn, hard-to-place symptoms. The same method he relies on with his own patients is the one he teaches through The Academy by Dr Brad Leech, the practitioner education arm he founded where naturopaths, nutritionists, and allied health professionals come to deepen their clinical confidence. His work stays grounded in published research and years of frontline practice.
