Perth Functional
Medicine
How we work with Perth patients
Functional medicine for Perth, in clinic and online.
Advanced Functional Medicine began in Palmyra, and Perth is still home. You can see us in person at the clinic, or do the entire process by telehealth if that suits you better – the clinical work is identical either way.
Every new patient starts with a 90‑minute consultation to map the full history, then targeted testing, then a written plan you keep. It is methodical, it is documented, and it is built around your results – not a generic protocol.
- In‑clinic appointments in Palmyra, plus telehealth
- Pathology referrals you can use at any local collection centre
- A written, prioritised plan kept in your patient portal
What we help with
Complex chronic conditions, investigated properly.
We work across complex, chronic and hard-to-resolve presentations, including gut health problems such as IBS, SIBO, bloating and reflux; thyroid disorders and Hashimoto's, including cases where tests read normal but symptoms persist; autoimmune conditions; chronic fatigue with no clear cause; MTHFR and methylation issues; hormonal imbalances; mould illness and CIRS; and mental health presentations with a biochemical component.
How it works
From first consult to a plan that's yours.
The same structured process, delivered entirely online. Most Perth patients complete it without ever needing to travel.
Book your consultation
A 30 to 45 minute new patient consultation. We work through your timeline, symptoms, prior testing and lifestyle to build a complete picture of where things shifted.
Targeted testing
We send pathology referrals and any specialty test kits. Collect samples locally or at home - results come back to us directly.
Results & your plan
We walk you through what the testing shows and give you a written, prioritised protocol - supplements, nutrition and lifestyle, in order.
Ongoing care
Scheduled reviews keep the plan accountable to your results, with direct messaging between appointments and team review on complex cases.
Testing in Perth
Where Perth
patients get tested.
We work with the major Australian pathology networks, so standard blood work can be collected close to home. Specialty functional test kits are posted to your door.
Not near a collection centre? We post a pathology kit to your door with everything you need, then you return it by reply-paid post.
Telehealth patients get exactly the same care and access as someone who walks into our Perth clinic. Not a reduced version, the same practitioners, the same testing, the same treatment plans, the same follow-up. In fact many of our Perth patients choose telehealth anyway, simply because it is more convenient than travelling in.
Here is what that looks like in practice. Consultations run through a secure medical video link with nothing to download, joinable from your phone or computer. Pathology is handled through our electronic links with all major Australian testing labs, so you collect your samples locally and the results come straight back to you. And every patient has access to our secure online patient portal, where all your test results are stored, you can message your practitioner and our admin team directly, upload previous results for review, and order your supplements. Everything you need to manage your care is in one place. Being in Perth rather than Perth changes nothing about the standard of care you receive.

Why AFM
Led by Jarrod Cooper - ND, author of The Healing Hierarchy.
Jarrod founded Advanced Functional Medicine after more than a decade in clinical practice, frustrated by how often complex patients were told their results were"normal." His approach is sequential: find what's driving the dysfunction, then treat the body in the order it actually heals.
Perth patients work with Jarrod and the team entirely online. Behind every case is a multi-practitioner clinic, so complex presentations are reviewed across the team.
