Background

Dr Soosay obtained his medical degree from Monash University and has been working as an Integrative GP for over 40 years.

His main aim when treating chronic illness is to get to the fundamental cause. Over the last 10 years he has been focussing on gut-related issues as most chronic illnesses arise or are aggravated by gut dysfunction. Research related to the gut microbiome is exploding and it is Dr Soosay’s passion to keep up with the scientific literature on this topic.  To share some of the current research findings he has started a YouTube channel: Dr Iggy Soosay – Gut Health for Life where he covers various illnesses that are impacted by the gut microbiome.
