Dr Stephan Neff | Neff Functional Medicine

I'm Dr Stephan Neff, a New Zealand doctor working in functional and integrative medicine.

I spent many years in conventional medicine as a specialist anaesthetist, with further experience in pain and hyperbaric medicine. These days my work ranges from metabolic and environmental health to healthy ageing and integrative cancer care.

This channel is where I explore the medicine behind it. I am particularly interested in the grey areas: what we know, what might be useful, and where enthusiasm has run ahead of the evidence.

You will also find many older conversations about addiction, recovery and mental health. I have lived some of that story myself, and I have no intention of hiding it.

Medicine changes. So have I. Curiosity is probably the one thing that hasn't.
