NEW STUDIES 1
The Kyolic Garlic & Aerobic Fitness Trial
Arterial stiffness is a cardiovascular risk factor, which increases naturally with age. Kyolic garlic has been shown to improve the flexibility of arteries, and slows down blood flow, which may improve oxygen uptake, associated with aerobic fitness.
NEW STUDIES 2
Dr Lucia Murnane NIIM Long Covid Clinic
M.B.B.S, F.R.A.C.G.P
Please note that Dr Lucia Murnane is currently only consulting for local patients with long COVID and other COVID related complications.
Dr Lucia Murnane is a medical doctor with 15 years experience working in a number of different hospitals and General Practice clinics in Australia. In addition to General Practice experience, Dr Murnane developed special interests in infertility and recurrent miscarriage, being a part of holistic Fertility Assessment Clinics (offering a restorative approach) in Melbourne for the last 9 years. Dr Murnane was a founding board member of the Australian Institute of Restorative Reproductive Medicine (AIRRM) in 2015.
Dr Murnane has also undertaken further studies in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine through the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM) in a number of different areas of medicine, and finds this approach an integral part of patient management. She actively participates in ongoing professional development in medicine, and is committed to life long learning, along side her patients.
In recent years Dr Murnane has developed a strong interest in the management of acute COVID-19, and its complications, in particular long COVID. She has been a chief investigator in two of NIIM’s COVID-19 trials, involving early treatment of COVID-19, and assessment and management of long COVID.
Dr Murnane is currently only consulting in the area of long COVID and COVID complications. This is due to it being largely an unmet need within the medical community, and cause of significant burden on individuals. She recognises the complex and multi-system facets of long COVID which can be well addressed using an integrative and multidisciplinary chronic disease based model of care, which she is well versed in from prior medical experience.
Please note that Dr Lucia Murnane is currently only consulting for local patients with long COVID and other COVID related complications. Initial appointments are 1 hour in length and need to be face to face to allow for a more thorough medical assessment as well as to access Medicare rebates (this makes one eligible for Medicare rebates for subsequent telehealth appointments).
Follow up appointments lengths and fees depend on complexity, and can be via telehealth. It is advised that you email to [email protected] any prior blood tests, scans, and other relevant medical summaries/documents prior to your appointment for Dr Lucia Murnane to review. Alternatively you can bring in hard copies of results and medical documents on your first appointment.
For details on appointment availability and the schedule of fees please contact the NIIM Clinic Reception on (03) 9804 0646
