About Our Founder – Dr Sandra Cabot
Dr Sandra McRae Cabot’s journey in medicine began with a strong foundation in conventional training, but her passion for holistic and preventative care soon set her apart.
After graduating from the University of Adelaide in 1975 with a degree in Medicine and Surgery, she began her career in obstetrics in Sydney. In the 1980s, she spent six months volunteering at a missionary hospital in Northern India, a transformative experience that deepened her commitment to accessible, integrative healthcare.
To support her clinical work, Dr Cabot began writing health books, starting with Women’s Health. Her writing quickly gained traction, and she went on to publish over 30 titles. Among them, The Liver Cleansing Diet became a standout success, winning the Australian People’s Choice Award in 1996 and being translated into multiple languages. The popularity of her books not only helped fund her medical practice but also enabled her to launch broader community health initiatives.
Dr Cabot’s interests extend beyond medicine.
A licensed pilot since the 1980s, she has used her aviation skills to serve patients in remote areas, flying them to city hospitals through Angel Flights.
Her commitment to emergency care led her to acquire a medevac jet, specially equipped for critical missions across Australia and the Pacific. Her long-range Falcon 50 jet has transported both patients and donor organs, reflecting her dedication to life-saving service.
Today, Dr Cabot leads a team of doctors, naturopaths and nutritionists, offering a unique blend of conventional and natural medicine.
The clinic’s holistic integrative approach combines diagnostics and treatments with evidence-based natural therapies, dietary guidance, and lifestyle support. This model is designed to provide long-term solutions for chronic conditions and to serve those who feel underserved by traditional medicine alone.
Cabot Health produces a range of nutritional supplements and educational resources that complement prescribed treatments. These products support the body’s natural functions and address common health concerns such as obesity, hormonal imbalances, chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and especially liver health, a central focus of Dr Cabot’s work due to the increasing prevalence of fatty liver disease.
One of the most impactful aspects of Cabot Health is its free Health Advisory Service, which receives hundreds of enquiries daily from individuals around the world.
The advisory team offers personalised guidance to those exploring natural or integrative treatments, many of whom have tried conventional approaches without success.
Education is a cornerstone of Dr Cabot’s philosophy.
In 2024, 2025 and 2026, Dr Sandra Cabot hosted a series of full-day seminars and workshops across Australia, covering topics from liver health and menopause to chronic disease and mental wellbeing. These events were designed to be affordable and accessible, fostering community engagement and collaboration with local pharmacies and health food stores.
Dr Cabot encourages patients to take an active role in their health. She often recommends trying an integrative approach for several months, tracking symptoms and lab results to assess progress. This patient-led model promotes a deeper understanding of how lifestyle, diet, and targeted supplements can influence long-term outcomes.
Her approach emphasises identifying the root causes of illness rather than simply managing symptoms. Integrative medicine considers how different systems in the body interact, for example, how gut health can affect mental wellbeing, or how nutrient deficiencies may contribute to hormonal and immune dysfunction.
She notes that modern Australian diets, combined with nutrient-poor soils, often lead to widespread deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals. Cabot Health’s products are formulated to address these gaps and support those with ongoing health challenges.
To further empower individuals, Cabot Health offers weekly newsletters, eBooks, video content, and live webinars. The company maintains an active presence on platforms like YouTube, while still supporting traditional communication methods such as phone and mail for those who prefer them.
Cabot Health also works closely with pharmacists across Australia, offering an evidence-based supplement range that complements prescription medications. This collaboration helps manage side effects and enhances therapeutic outcomes, supporting both patients and pharmacy professionals in delivering holistic care.
Dr Cabot’s commitment to health has always reached far beyond the walls of her clinic. From flying patients and donor organs in times of need or supporting charities like the Red Cross, Canteen, and breast cancer fundraising, her work has always been guided by compassion. Helping others isn’t just part of her career, it’s part of who she is , and her passion continues to touch and improve countless lives every day.
Looking ahead, Dr Cabot hopes more Australians will feel empowered to take control of their wellbeing. She advocates for prevention, regular check-ups, and a balanced approach that embraces both modern and natural medicine. “You are your most powerful advocate,” she often says. With the right information, support, and mindset, individuals can take meaningful steps toward better health.
For those seeking a compassionate, integrative path to wellness, Cabot Health remains a trusted and accessible resource, one that reflects Dr Cabot’s lifelong dedication to healing, education, and service.
