Dr Naras returned to university, obtained a Masters degree in in nutrition and dietetics, and in 2004, opened his first nutrition consultancy The Body Doctor.
As both an Accredited Practicing Dietitian and Accredited Practicing Sports Dietitian, his interests spanned a vast range of health and performance issues.

He observed that stress, sleep, fitness and state of mind have significant impact on how people eat and how all these factors intertwine and affect one’s health.
As his career developed he became very interested in longevity and the profound role that nutrition and lifestyle can play on disease prevention, healthy ageing and lifespan. He undertook additional formal education and became Board certified in both Australia and USA in regenerative and anti-aging medicine. In 2018, Dr Naras relocated to Singapore and by combining his years of research, experience gained from thousands of clients and continued education, he formed a bespoke nutrition and longevity consultancy dedicated to the goal of helping people to live healthier and longer lives.
