Our Medical Team

Australian-registered doctors who understand performance.

Every VitalYOU consultation is led by a Fellow-level doctor with clinical depth in the systems that drive your energy, focus, and recovery. Independent clinical governance ensures every consultation is held to the same high standard.

Clinical Governance

Independent oversight. No shortcuts.

Dr Wimalasena's role as Medical Director is non-prescribing. He provides independent clinical oversight, ensuring every consultation meets a consistent clinical standard.

Medical Director

Dr Yash Wimalasena

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.

He also holds the Diploma in Mountain Medicine and has led or served as expedition doctor on more than 25 missions across the Himalaya, Africa, South America, and Europe. That work shaped how he thinks about human performance. The physiological systems that determine whether someone can function at altitude (sleep architecture, stress regulation, metabolic efficiency, inflammatory load) are the same systems that determine whether a professional can sustain clarity and resilience through a demanding career. The difference is that at altitude, you can’t ignore the signs.

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

Specialists who do the work.

Your consultation is with one of VitalYOU's prescribing doctors. Each is a Fellow of their respective College with deep clinical experience in the systems that drive how you feel and perform.

Dr Simon Jones

Prescribing Doctor

Dr Simon Jones

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.

Dr Irfaan Jetha

Prescribing Doctor

Dr Irfaan Jetha

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

Dr Meera Perumalpillai-McGarry

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.

Testimonials

How VitalYOU Is Changing Lives.

I'll be upfront. I went into this consultation thinking I already knew what I needed. I'd done my own research and had a pretty clear idea of what to ask for. About fifteen minutes in, the doctor started connecting things I hadn't considered, and I realised I was completely out of my depth. In a good way. I ended up with a very different plan to what I had in mind, and far more confident in it. If you're someone who likes to be across everything (like me), you'll appreciate how thorough this is.

Daniel

51, Executive Coach

I was spending close to $400 a month on various supplements and protocols before this. The doctor reviewed my results and told me to stop most of it. Didn't try to replace them with their own products either, just said I didn't need them. That was when I knew the advice was actually for me and not a sales pitch. Worth the consultation fee just for what I'm no longer wasting money on.

Ryan

32, Software Developer

I went to my GP twice about how I was feeling and both times the bloods came back 'normal'. So I just left it. What else do you do when the tests say you're fine? VitalYOU tests against optimal ranges, not just the standard reference ranges, which is a completely different conversation. The report I got back was the most detailed health document I've ever received.

Kate

44, Architect

My wife actually booked this for me. I'd been saying I would sort it out for about a year and never got around to it. The consultation itself was very thorough. The doctor had clearly reviewed everything before we got on the call, which was a nice change from the usual 'so what brings you in today?' experience. Would recommend, and I don't say that lightly about health services.

Tom

47, Operations Manager

I sat on the website for about three weeks before booking. $1,295 is not a small amount of money. But then I added up what I'd already spent on random supplements, wellness apps, and a naturopath visit over the past year and it was honestly more than that, with no actual data behind any of it. At least this was a doctor looking at real bloodwork. The report alone justified the cost for me.

Lisa

39, Business Owner

I'd seen a cardiologist and an endocrinologist separately over the past two years. Both said everything was fine. Nobody was looking at the full picture. VitalYOU was the first service that actually pulled everything together across multiple systems rather than checking one thing in isolation. The consultation felt like the appointment I'd been trying to get from the regular system for two years.

James

46, Lawyer

I wasn't in crisis or anything. I just didn't feel like myself and hadn't for a while. My GP ran the standard tests and said everything was within range. VitalYOU's approach is different because they're not checking whether you're sick, they're checking whether your biology is actually performing. That distinction matters if you're someone who knows something is off but can't get anyone to take it seriously.

Michelle

42, Marketing Director

Honestly, I'd just accepted that this is what mid-fifties feels like. All my mates say the same things, so you assume it's normal. The level of detail in the results was eye-opening. I had no idea you could test for that many markers from a single blood draw. The doctor was excellent and clearly very knowledgeable. Wish I'd done it a couple of years earlier but glad I did it now.
