He holds science degrees in Psychology and Physiology from the University of Adelaide, with honours in Physiology, completed in The Centre for Sleep Research at The Queen Elizabeth hospital in Adelaide. His work explores the neurophysiological effects of certain yoga breathing and meditation practices on the heart, brain and autonomic nervous system. Understanding how the brain, nervous and hormonal systems work, particularly in terms of balancing autonomic activity of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems allows better understanding of how the practices work and how to get maximum benefits without other problems. In University and hospital research studies, he has explored the benefits of yoga in terms of effects on the hypothalamus and Pineal.

Melatonin enhances and maintains immune system functioning as well as being an anti aging and anti cancer agent.
