Dr Naras Lapsys – Accredited Practising Dietitian
After finishing 2 university degrees and a PhD in Medicine, Dr Naras Lapsys began his career as a scientist in a leading medical institute, searching for the genes of obesity and diabetes. After nearly 10 years of research he came to the conclusion that the ‘quick fix’ pill was still a long way off and that nutrition and lifestyle would always hold the key to better health. With that in mind he went back to university, completed a Masters degree in Nutrition and became an Accredited Practising Dietitian. By combining all his years of knowledge and a genuine passion for good health, Dr Naras Lapsys founded The Body Doctor.
Naras is a consultant dietitian to various sporting groups, has helped to create many corporate health programs and has established the first Body Doctor practice for one-on-one consultations in Sydney’s Bondi Junction.
He is a member of the Dietitians Association of Australia, DAA and Sports Dietitians Australia, SDA. Naras also plays a role in the External Advisory Committee for the Wollongong University Dietetic Program and the Obesity Management GP Education Advisory Group for iNova Pharmaceuticals. Naras is also on the Expert Advisory Panel for childhood nutrition, with the trusted parenting resource, Babycenter.
Naras has addressed national and international audiences, has been published in leading medical and scientific journals and is frequently quoted in the media.
Weight Control
Achieving a sustainable and healthy weight should be the cornerstone of good health for all people. Numerous studies have proven that people who are able to maintain a healthy weight balance throughout their adult life can expect a healthier life that includes:
For many people, achieving and maintaining healthy weight can be a difficult and frustrating challenge. Although there are numerous weight loss options, many are only successful in the short term as they are restrictive and unsustainable. Weight loss medications often have undesirable side effects and most over-the-counter products just don’t work. Exercise alone is great for fitness but often without significant changes to body weight.
Sport Nutrition
Whether you are a recreational sportsperson or elite athlete, your nutritional intake and level of fitness are key determinants to your athletic potential.
Equipment choice and the use of supplements provide little more than the ‘icing on the cake’. Creating a sports-specific nutrition plan with an experienced and accredited sports dietitian will produce significant and measurable improvements to your athletic output.
With consulting experience to professional rugby league teams, cycling clubs and individual athletes, The Body Doctor has expertise in the following disciplines:
Irritable Bowel
If you are suffering from abdominal pain, bloating or even a change in bowel habits, you may have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). People with IBS can also experience fatigue, body pain, headaches and backaches. The cause of IBS is unknown, however it can be managed and its symptoms can often be significantly reduced. Studies have shown that a group of sugars known as FODMAPS often cause the symptoms of IBS. FODMAP is an acronym referring to: Fermentable, Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols. The sugars in certain fruits, dairy, artificial sweeteners and even some vegetables are all examples of FODMAPs. There can also be other dietary and non-dietary triggers for the symptoms of IBS. For sufferers of IBS, a change in your diet may have a real impact in improving your IBS.
Children’s Nutrition
How you choose to feed your children will have a lasting influence on their eating patterns, attitude to food and their health for the rest of their lives. Eating habits are instilled early in life and unbalanced eating can make a child tired, irritable, constipated or bloated. It can affect their ability to concentrate and their ability to effectively get through the day.
If your child has a nutrition issue that you are struggling to manage, or if you feel that your child’s nutrition could be improved, then The Body Doctor can help. We have expertise in helping children and their parents with:
Food Addiction
If you are food obsessed or have a compulsive relationship with food, then you may be suffering from food addiction. The following signs are strong indicators of food addiction:
Food addiction is isolating, depressing and can lead to serious health issues. However, it can be overcome, or at least better managed. You can fight your food addiction and there is such a thing as a cure. In a supportive and motivating environment, The Body Doctor will help provide you with the tools, education and eating patterns to resolve your food addiction.

- More energy
