About Dr Ruth Edwards
Dr Ruth Edwards graduated from the University of Newcastle in 1993, and after working for years in Emergency Medicine, moved into General Practice, where she has worked for the last 20 years.
She is a Fellow of both the RACGP and ACRRM. She has been practicing Integrative Medicine for nearly 20 years and treats people with symptoms of nutritional and environmental imbalances, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, autism, fibromyalgia, ADHD, neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative issues, IBS, SIBO and food intolerances. She has a special interest in autism & ADHD, as well as the effects of mould and mycotoxin exposure as well as mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).
With post-graduate education in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, Mental Health, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Ruth is able to blend her knowledge of conventional and complementary medicine as an Integrative doctor. Ruth uses a ‘whole person’ approach to optimise healing through patient education, searching for and identifying the ‘root cause’ of symptoms, and by having a wider scope of treatment options.
She loves connecting with her patients and being herself with them.
