–> Hormone Health for women, by women
–> Individualized innovative and integrated Solutions by a double board-certified Endocrinologist
As a woman, I understand women’s hormone health issues keenly. I understand how traditional insurance- based medicine fails to address issues in a wholistic manner. I understand how Functional Medicine without a solid traditional Endocrinology training is inadequate in understanding the complexities involved in women’s hormone health
In 1996, I began to synthesize my ides on healing the “whole patient”. The fractured template on which western medicine is based had hit me like a bullseye when starting my post-graduate training. The disconnection between understanding the true underpinnings of common disease and addressing them in a manner that would lend to healing was wide. I was losing interest in symptom band-aid offerings designed to keep people coming back with more, a revolving door of illness that never got solved. I am bringing you my journey of 25 years- a sojourn that dived into illness and healing head first as I traversed this health/healing path.
So how shall we work on Hormone Health together ?
My philosophy of medical care involves a “Whole person” approach combining sound high caliber evidence based traditional Endocrinology, whilst addressing hormonal, metabolic, nutritional, lifestyle and preventive issues associated with or underlying the disease state. Combining this with mind-body medicine/Energy medicine is what I will be offering next.
Within the world of Endocrinology, I have a special interest in Autoimmune thyroid disease, Menopause management including Hormone replacement therapy in women, obesity/metabolic syndrome and Osteoporosis My main focus is Longevity Medicine and Endocrinology of Ageing in women.
Alongside working as a physician full-time, I have pursued a lifelong passion in Metaphysics, Human Potential, Consciousness and Transformation, Frequency/Energy Medicine and East-West Wisdom Teachings. I am a writer, poet, speaker, motivational coach, life coach and explore the frontiers of the Human Consciousness movement.
I am Offering Consultations on hormone health issues in…
- Thyroid health
- Metabolic Syndrome
- Obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Menopause and Bio-identical hormone replacement
- I offer educational consults on specific endocrine issues when dealing with patients. I do not offer medical advice or call in prescriptions. If medical advice is needed, patient’s physician can contact me for a peer-to-peer consultation. All this will change in time as I plan to introduce telemedicine
