Holistic, science-led health transformation
with Dr. Simone Silver & team
Our practice
At Hormonal Health & Wellness Centre, we are passionate about personalized medicine and health empowerment. We believe in treating the person and not just the symptoms or disease and strive to reach the goal of optimal health and wellbeing for every patient.
Through a process of consultation and relevant testing, we aim to understand the unique ‘blueprint’ or biochemistry of each patient’s body and how that blueprint may be influenced by lifestyle, nutritional, genetic, psychological, hormonal and environmental factors.
It is from this comprehensive approach to understanding each patient’s health challenges and unique biochemistry that we tailor an individualized treatment programme to each patient. Our treatment programmes integrate the most effective strategies from a nutritional, lifestyle, nutraceutical, hormonal and pharmaceutical point of view.
What we can help you with
We take a comprehensive, holistic approach to understanding each patient’s health challenges and unique biochemistry and tailor an individualized treatment programme for each patient.
Consultations
These one-hour consultations give us the time to understand YOU in an unrushed manner- your unique lifestyle, stressors, genetic influences, dietary habits, health concerns as well as health objectives/goals.
Bespoke Treatment Strategies
We use a combination of treatment modalities including nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, nutritional and coaching to help you achieve your health goals.
Peri/Menopausal Consultations
Consultations focused on this challenging period in a women’s life. We demystify everything for you - about the peri/menopausal journey from what is happening in your body to the hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options available.
Genetic & Functional Medicine Testing
Initial testing is done through pathology labs including Lancet, Ampath and Pathcare. We also specialize in the interpretation of genetic tests and panels of functional overseas tests offering deeper insights into health.
Specialized Compounded Treatments & Hormones
Your treatment should be as unique as you. We believe in high-quality nutraceuticals that comply with good manufacturing practices and international standards. We prescribe and dispense custom-compounded hormones and nutraceuticals that are made to fit you.
Medical Weight Loss
We do weight loss differently by tailoring programmes to the individual with nutritional, behavioural and medical interventions ensuring the greatest chance of success.
What we do differently
We use a Functional Medicine Approach...
Functional Medicine is an integrated yet science-based way of understanding how the body is currently working and where the areas of imbalance are. It strives to restore balance in order to treat and prevent disease.
We are patient-centered not disease-centered
We spend time understanding what is happening in each patient’s body and in each patient’s life, looking at multiple factors that contribute to lack of health and well-being.
We believe in health empowerment - we don’t just tell you to change, we show you how
Changing lifestyle habits can be challenging, even scary. We guide you every step of the way using individualized plans that suit each patient’s lifestyle/ schedule and ongoing support to ensure you reach your lifestyle goals. Changing our health landscape is within our power and reach.
We have both a deep and broad health perspective
We believe in ‘zooming in’ and understanding the biochemistry, DNA, hormones and biology of each patient. We also believe in ‘zooming out’ and understanding the broader picture of each patient and how all the systems of the mind and body are connected and influence one another.
