Experience
Jason has a strong background in sports nutrition and sports injury therapy, having worked with a wide range of professional and elite athletes throughout his career.
He has consulted to the West Tigers Rugby League Football Club and has worked with elite athletes including:
- professional triathletes
- hurdlers
- boxers
- elite soccer players (AC Milan)
- AFL players
He is currently the team sports injury therapist for the Malta Rugby League National Team.
Over the past decade Jason’s clinical practice has evolved alongside his own personal development. Through experience he discovered the profound importance of integrative medicine and personalised healthcare in restoring health and balance.
He understands and respects the role of different modalities within healthcare systems and recognises when each approach is appropriate. Jason has also drawn from his own personal healing journey, bringing those insights into his clinical practice.
He strongly believes in “practicing what you preach” and that every individual requires personalised health care rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
“It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.”

Personalised Medicine and Blood Type Science
