Our Doctors
Emergency medicine. General practice. Optimisation consultations at volume. Between them, decades of clinical experience before a single VitalYOU consultation.
Fellowship
Fellowship means completed specialty training and college examinations. All five VitalYOU doctors are fellows of their college.
Governance
Dr Yash Wimalasena approves every doctor before they join and oversees every clinical protocol. He doesn’t prescribe, so his only job is the clinical standard.
Review
Cases reviewed across the team fortnightly. Evidence reviewed regularly. Protocols updated quarterly. Emerging interventions assessed as the research develops, so new evidence reaches your care without delay.
Clinical Governance
Dr Yash Wimalasena is VitalYOU’s Medical Director. He approves every doctor on the team, reviews cases across the clinic, and oversees every clinical protocol. The governance structure exists so that VitalYOU holds to one clinical standard, no matter who you see.
Medical Director
MB, FRCEM, FACEM, Dip Mtn Med
Dr Wimalasena holds dual fellowships from the Royal College of Emergency Medicine UK and the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine. He is Clinical Senior Lecturer in Critical Care at the University of Sydney and Director of the Training Hub at Lismore Base Hospital, where he trains and assesses doctors. He has authored over a dozen peer-reviewed publications in critical care and was the lead medical designer for the NSW Trauma App, a clinical decision support tool now used across NSW Health, NSW Ambulance, Queensland Health, and the New Zealand Major Trauma National Clinical Network.
Dr Yash is VitalYOU’s Medical Director. He’s led or served as expedition doctor on more than 25 missions across the Himalaya, Africa, South America, and Europe, and that work shaped how he thinks about human performance. The systems that determine whether someone can function at altitude are the same ones that determine whether you can sustain clarity and energy through a demanding career. The clinical model he oversees for VitalYOU is based on the same biological systems he’s monitored in some of the most demanding environments on earth.
As VitalYOU’s Medical Director, Dr Wimalasena provides independent clinical oversight across the platform. He approves every doctor before they join, conducts fortnightly case reviews, and oversees every protocol delivered.

Prescribing Doctors
Your consultation is with one of VitalYOU’s prescribing doctors. Each is a fellow of their college, and each brings a different lens. Hormonal health across men’s and women’s midlife. Metabolic and recovery medicine. Brain performance and neuroplasticity. Preventative health and biological age. You can choose who you see when you book.
Prescribing Doctor
BSc (Neuroscience), MBBS, MRCS, FACEM
Most doctors study the brain as part of medical school. Dr Jones studied it as a discipline. His BSc in Neuroscience covered neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and the mechanisms that underpin cognitive performance before he ever entered medicine. He is a Fellow of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and currently works as an Emergency and Retrieval Specialist with Lismore Hospital and the Northern NSW Retrieval Service.
That neuroscience training gives him a different lens. When he looks at your blood work, he sees the neurological implications that most doctors aren’t trained to recognise. Neurotransmitter precursors that are insufficient. Metabolic factors that are starving the brain of energy. Inflammatory markers that suggest the blood-brain barrier may be compromised. He understands why you’re hitting a wall at 2pm, not just that you are.
Dr Jones is particularly interested in neuroplasticity, neurotransmitter balance, and the metabolic factors that determine whether someone can sustain sharp thinking through a demanding day. His consultations tend to go deeper on the brain performance side than most, because that’s where his training lives.

MB, BCh, LRCP & SI, MRCSI, FACEM
Dr Jetha is a Fellow of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine with nearly two decades of clinical experience. He has worked across the Northern Rivers region (Lismore, Byron Bay, Ballina, Grafton), held a Visiting Medical Officer position at Lismore Base Hospital, and worked with the Westpac Lifesaver Helicopter and in Retrieval Medicine with NSW Health.
Twenty years in emergency medicine trains you to see what’s coming. Dr Jetha has spent his career reading the early signs that something is heading in the wrong direction, often before the person themselves has noticed. That’s what he brings to a VitalYOU consultation. He’s seen what happens when hormonal, metabolic, and sleep systems break down acutely. He knows what the early warning signs look like, and he knows what to do about them before they get worse.
Co-founder of Bangalow Wellness Hub with his wife, Dr Meera Perumalpillai-McGarry. They built the clinic around a principle that also drives VitalYOU: the best time to intervene is before the problem is obvious.

Prescribing Doctor
BSc (Hons I), MBBS, FRACGP
Dr McGarry is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, with interests in women’s health, preventative medicine, and aesthetic medicine. She is co-founder of Bangalow Wellness Hub with her husband, Dr Irfaan Jetha.
Years of general practice have given her front-row exposure to the conditions that quietly erode quality of life: metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, and the slow accumulation of health issues that people often dismiss as “just getting older.” Most of these are treatable, once someone actually looks for them. She has built particular expertise in women’s health through perimenopause and midlife, where hormonal transitions drive brain fog, energy loss, and mood changes that are frequently overlooked or misattributed.
Dr McGarry works particularly well with people who have been told their bloods are “normal” but know something isn’t right. She understands the difference between “normal” and optimal, because she spent years watching the gap between the two go unaddressed.

BE (Hons), MBBS, FRACGP
Dr Henry Morris is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. He graduated in medicine from the University of Sydney after first training as an engineer, with a Bachelor of Engineering in Surveying and Spatial Information Systems from UNSW. His clinical career has spanned general practice, Aboriginal health across the Northern Rivers, and health optimisation medicine working with professionals and performers.
He trained as an engineer before he trained as a doctor, and he thinks both of those things matter. Medicine is a systems problem. The way someone walks into a consultation, what they describe, how they describe it, what their intake report shows, and what their blood work reveals are not separate pieces of information. They’re the same signal, read in different ways. Most of the time, the answer to why someone isn’t feeling well sits in how those readings line up with each other, not in any single one of them. That’s an engineering instinct before it’s a clinical one, and it shapes how he runs a consultation.
Dr Morris works particularly well with people who are juggling demanding professional lives against the expectation they’ll stay sharp, strong, and recovered while doing it. He has particular depth in hormonal management across men’s and women’s health, gut health and the interaction effects that occur when patients are on multiple supplements or therapies, and longevity and preventative health.

Real patients
before the conversation starts.
Doctor-led. AHPRA-registered.
We have the answers
All VitalYOU doctors are fellows of their college and AHPRA-registered. Clinical governance sits with our Medical Director, who is a dual Fellow of the Australasian and UK Colleges of Emergency Medicine and a Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney. Full bios and credentials are on this page.
Yes. Your doctor reviews your full panel before you speak. The consultation is a prepared conversation, not a first look at your numbers on screen.
Yes. You select your doctor when you book. Each doctor has a different clinical lens, so you can choose based on what you’re hoping to get out of the consultation. Your full history and results are available to whoever you see, so you can also move between doctors over time if that’s helpful.
It’s a deliberate choice. Emergency medicine trains doctors to read multiple biological systems at once and make decisions about how they’re interacting, which is a useful way to approach the gap between “not sick” and “performing well.” General practice adds years of longitudinal experience with the same patterns VitalYOU doctors see every day. And every doctor on the team has been practising performance and optimisation medicine alongside their core clinical work for years.
Your VitalYOU doctor will identify when a specialist referral is appropriate and explain what the next step looks like. VitalYOU works alongside your existing healthcare providers, not instead of them.
You can book a follow-up consultation at any time, with any doctor on the team. Follow-ups are shorter than the initial consultation and priced separately. Your full history stays with VitalYOU, so whoever you see has the context.
The clinical team meets fortnightly to review cases across the clinic. Protocols are reviewed against the current evidence on a quarterly cycle, and emerging interventions are assessed as the research develops so new evidence reaches patient care without delay. Every update is signed off by the Medical Director.
