Dr Kelly Francis

Dr Kelly Francis is a passionate Functional Medicine Practitioner, Integrative GP, Health Coach, entrepreneur, and health advocate based on the Gold Coast.  

Dr Kelly grew up in Sydney and completed her medical degree at the University of NSW in 1998.  She subsequently completed her formal GP training with the Royal College of General Practitioners in Northern NSW in 2006.

Her journey into alternative therapies actually started as a medical student when she faced a significant health crisis.  Frustrated by the limitations of mainstream medicine, which offered her little beyond a diagnosis, Dr Kelly looked elsewhere.  When she finally saw her symptoms resolve with Chinese Herbs, her interest in what was then called Holistic Health was not only sparked, it was set aflame, leading to a successful career of over 20 years in what is now called functional medicine.

Dr Kelly has continually expanded her knowledge, completing extensive training in areas such as Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, Naturopathics, Biochemical Approaches to Mental Health, Autism, ADHD and Behavioural Disorders, Microbiome, Genetics and Nutrigenomics.  Additionally, she has pursued education in intravenous vitamin therapy and is frequently attending Australian and global conferences to stay updated on the latest advancements in longevity and anti-aging.

In 2010, Dr Kelly founded her first clinic called Happiness in Health on the Gold Coast.  Over the years she grew the clinic into a thriving practice including Intravenous Vitamins, Nutritionists, Integrative GP’s/ Functional Medicine Doctors, Naturopaths and Dietitians.

In 2016, Dr Kelly took on the role of lead doctor in a clinical trial using Nutrient Therapy to address violence and anger in boys, presenting her findings at several conferences, contributing to the body of research in integrative medicine.  >>> put link to trial here.??

In 2023, Dr Kelly transitioned away from having a medical centre to embrace new opportunities within the on-line healthcare space, driven by her desire to innovate and impact health on a broader scale. Outside of her professional endeavours, Dr Kelly is a crazy snowboarder, and her happy place is in Japan floating in the powder with her crazy teenage son flying past her.  She also enjoys regular pickleball, walking her dog, frequent sauna and ice baths, and strength training with her PT.  A music enthusiast, she loves to sing and plays the guitar badly.  Most importantly, she cherishes time spent with her family and close friends, continually striving to optimise her health and vitality.
