Bio:
Dr Ananta Kolesky
MBChB, FACRRM, GEM, IFMCP, AMC, ACAAM
Dr Ananta Kolesky was born and raised in South Africa, where she completed her primary medical degrees at the University of the Orange Free State in 1999, before living and working in the UK for 2 years.
She’s called Australia home since 2003 and lives in Central Queensland with her family.
When not working as a solo GP, she’s a very busy netball Mum.
Dr Kolesky has completed the Australian Medical Certificate, and attained Fellowship of the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine, as well as the post-fellowship qualification of Generalist Emergency Medicine/Rural Generalist.
She has also completed the Australasian Certificate of Anti-Ageing Medicine along with multiple certificates and/or courses in BioBalance (natural Mental Health treatment), Detox, Gut Health, Hormone Compounding, Integrative Medicine, Integrative Cancer Care, Medicinal Cannabis, Methylation, Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments and Skin Cancer Surgery.
Additionally, she has done IFMCP as well as Advanced Practice modules in Gut Health and Detox with the Institute of Functional Medicine.
When altering course from Emergency Medicine to General Practice, she soon became disillusioned with the traditional Pharma-heavy approach which often didn’t seem to yield real or sustainable results for her patients. She was even more frustrated by the fragmentation of patient care where each body part seemed to be treated by a different specialist and nobody seemed to take into account the whole of the patient. Thus started her foray into Functional and Integrative Medicine and a more holistic patient approach. She has never looked back.
After a few years in a regular General Practice, she took a leap of faith and started her own practice, Vitality Solutions, in order to be able to offer her patients the kind of healthcare that she feels everyone deserves.
The practice achieved AGPAL accreditation in 2023. She is a solo GP with a fantastic supporting staff, but dreams of the day that she can find another Integrative GP to share the workload.
Putting her years of experience and firsthand clinical knowledge into practice, Dr Kolesky has recently launched her own range of TGA registered nutritional supplements under the Vitality Solutions label to further support the health and wellbeing of her patients.
She brings with her many years’ experience in Emergency Medicine and General Practice with a Functional Integrative approach, and has found the use of IV nutrient therapies a great addition to her clinical practice.
She is also a member of ACRRM, ACNEM and AIMA.
