This is an absolute disclaimer when I start the menopause care journey with my patient ✍️ 👩🏻‍⚕️

Menopausal Hormone Therapy (previously HRT or hormone replacement therapy) can do a lot of things for you.

But it won’t do the hard work…

The hard work is outside my office where you choose rest, recovery, life and your own happiness. That doesn’t come in a gel, patch or capsule. It can help you in the process though.

Hormones 101 — because your body deserves a better explanation than “it’s just your age.” 🙄

Perimenopause comes with a lot of changes, and hormone therapy can be a game-changer — but knowing what you’re replacing and how it’s replaced matters.

Swipe through for a quick breakdown of the 3 key s*x hormones, how they’re replaced, and why the route of administration actually makes a difference. 👉

And yes — South African women, we actually have something the US doesn’t when it comes to testosterone. 🇿🇦 (Swipe to find out.)

Save this one. Share it with a friend who’s been dismissed at a doctor’s appointment one too many times. 💛

Always consult your doctor for personalised advice and full medical work up and screenings.

Did you know that the original botulinum toxin molecule initially had 3 on label indications - and now number 4! ✨

✔️ Frown lines 😠
✔️ Crow's feet 👀
✔️ Forehead lines 😳
✔️ Platysma bands of the neck (the newest approved indication) 🦢

While tox is widely used for many medical concerns, these are the four cosmetic areas for which it has received official approval.

Whether you're looking to soften expression lines, refresh your appearance, or improve neck contouring, a personalized assessment can help determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

Integrative medicine consultations are so much more than that of a standard general practice consult.

What people forget about or perhaps don’t take into account, is that integrative medicine demands work behind the scenes that you, as the patient, may not always be aware of. 💻

It includes the questionnaires you complete, the really old blood results you forgot about, the radiology reports that you didn’t think were important… all the things that I have gone through before you step into that consultation.

Even more so, there are colleagues that we as doctors consult with when we’re not sure ourselves. All of this gets done when you are not in front of us in our office. And I think I speak for all doctors when I say that it always gets done after business hours…

So before we jump to the conclusion that integrative medicine is expensive - if you look at it at face value - it certainly would appear so. But it is so much more than that. It is creating health and a long term plan, rather than just throwing another prescription medicine at you to keep your symptoms at bay on a month to month basis. You’ve already tried that and it hasn’t worked.

It’s an investment in your future health. And that is priceless.

The OG of cosmetic injectables 👩🏻‍⚕️

Number 1 procedure in my practice 10 years ago… and still the most popular in my practice today.

Your normal home scale is depressing you so stop using it. 🤯

Focus on your body composition - muscle mass, fat mass, where that fat is and your skeleton.

Focus on your blood work and risk factors for disease and prevention of chronic illness.

Stop obsessing over the number on a scale. Weight and weight loss is so much more nuanced than an overall total figure.

⬆️ These are some of our patient results in the last few weeks 💪 I want you strong. Not skinny. In all genders. With and without GLP1 agonist 😉
