See your metabolic health from the inside.
Advanced abdominal MRI assessment for visceral fat, liver fat and muscle quality.
Blood tests provide biochemical clues. MRI allows us to directly examine where fat is being stored inside your body.
My private MRI assessments combine specialised imaging with medical interpretation to give you a detailed picture of your structural metabolic health — and a baseline from which to improve it.

Bloods tell part of the story. MRI shows the anatomy.
Two people can have the same weight, BMI or waist circumference yet have markedly different internal fat distribution.
Visceral fat accumulates around the abdominal organs. Fat can also accumulate within the liver and infiltrate skeletal muscle.
MRI allows these internal compartments to be assessed directly — without ionising radiation.

The Founders Round
Be among the first to experience a new approach to metabolic health assessment.
To mark the launch of my MRI metabolic health service, I’m opening a limited number of places at Founders pricing.
Founders will receive the same physician-led MRI assessment and personalised interpretation that will form the foundation of the ongoing service — at a preferential launch price in recognition of being part of the first cohort.

What happens after I book?
 1 — Complete your intake
For Visceral Snapshot and CMA we will collect key MRI safety information to confirm suitability and preferred MRI scan times. For CMA we will also collect a detailed medical and lifestyle history that will be reviewed by our health coach on a dedicated pre-consultation call.
2 — We organise your MRI
Your specialised non-contrast abdominal MRI is performed through one of our radiology partners. For the Founders Round this will take place at Gold Coast, QLD location.
3 — Your scan is analysed
Your radiology images and structural metabolic markers are analysed and personalised report prepared.
4 — Call with Dr Max
In the week following your scan we will walk through your images and findings together and explain what they mean for your metabolic health. For Snapshot this will be a brief review, for CMA this will be an in-depth medical consultation and plan.
5 — Know your baseline
You leave with your personalised report and a clear understanding of your metabolic anatomy. Where appropriate, future MRI can objectively track structural change.
Physician-led metabolic imagingÂ
I am Dr Max Gulhane, an Australian GP and health-optimising physician focused on visceral adiposity, metabolic health and chronic disease prevention.
I developed these assessments because conventional metabolic evaluation relies heavily on blood tests, body weight and risk calculators. These fundamentally lack the ability to show us where fat is being stored - key to truly understanding your metabolic health and chronic disease risk.
My approach brings metabolic biochemistry and metabolic anatomy together.
