Dr Yoganathan has a strong interest in the field of human nutrition.  He practices an approach to healthcare that assesses the lifestyle of the patient to see how it impacts on their gastrointestinal and metabolic health.  Dr Yoganathan believes that the current day nutritional guidelines may not be based on perfect evidence and he passionately strives to provide the most up to date literature in healthcare and science to provide “Evidence-Based Medicine”.  He is a strong motivator and aims to empower his patients to embark on a journey of self-healing using the philosophy of “let food be thy medicine”.

Dr Yoganathan has developed an interest in ‘quality colonoscopy’ with a focus on optimising bowel preparation, withdrawal time and the use of high-definition endoscopes to maximise adenoma or polyp detection.  A strong advocate for bowel cancer screening, Dr Yoganathan has particular interest in the early detection of bowel cancers, well before they become symptomatic; thus saving lives. A multidisciplinary approach to gastroenterological problems, particularly in patients with gastrointestinal cancers, is routinely practiced.
