The Academy by Dr Brad Leech · Education + Mentoring

Clinical education, built for the cases you see

In-depth mentoring programs across the microbiome, autoimmunity, and paediatric gut health now joined by focused masterclasses, and backed by a library of clinical resources. Every program is available self-paced on demand, or live with a cohort.

My mission is clear: to empower healthcare practitioners with the expertise to interpret microbiome reports, assess autoimmune pathology, and apply evidence-based interventions that transform patient outcomes. That’s why I created The Academy By Dr Brad Leech —comprehensive mentorships designed to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world clinical application.

Virtual meeting with twelve participants, each in separate homes, smiling at their cameras. Participants have varied backgrounds, with some home offices, kitchens, or living room settings.

Two ways to study

Live with a cohort, or entirely self-paced

Every mentoring program comes in two formats, with exactly the same curriculum and clinical depth. Learn alongside a live cohort, or on demand around clinic, around family, in your own time.

LIVE COHORT

“For anyone who may be close to finishing their degree or those who have recently finished and are wanting to go into clinical practice. Have a look into The Academy by Dr Brad Leech. This seriously saved me and I couldn’t be more thankful for Brad and all his help through this program. He is a wealth of knowledge (he even helped me get a paper published that we wrote together) and will help you feel at ease with the transition into clinic.”

One-on-one mentoring sessions are designed to provide personalised support to naturopaths and nutritionists. These sessions are an excellent way to gain a deeper understanding of your patient and how to best support their health. During a one-on-one mentoring session Brad will break the case down and create the links between the pathology reports and patient’s health. Evidence-based advice for the most appropriate treatments will be given with patient handouts provided where available. A non-bias recommendation on supplementation dosage, duration, and products will be discussed
