I feel for you ladies…..
Having an official diagnosis of menopausal is such a relief for so many of my patients. Why? Because the period of absolute chaos that precedes menopause is so unrecognized and unsupported.
These poor 40 -something ladies are battling an invisible enemy that is so destructive and personality altering.
Irregular periods, low s*x drive, brain fog , irritability and mood swings are just a few of the symptoms . But it’s the anxiety and stress intolerance that usually lead them to seek help.
Just because you are under 50 and still have a period does not mean things are alright. I can guarantee they aren’t, but I know you feel they are changeable enough that tomorrow will be better. It will, but it will be back next month and again the next . The transition is gradual but inevitable . You do not need to suffer . Own it ….. perimenopause is real, it’s not in your head , it’s a physiological, biological change . It’s happening whether you are ready or not .

I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on all of you that fought your way bravely through 2025 . Sadly we mourned the loss of a few precious souls. Our practice is forever changed without them .
Our thoughts are with those families that continue to walk through the grief.
I salute all of you that reached , and are in the process of reaching your health goals . The 40 kg losers , the 20-15 kg girls and guys , you know who you are and I’m so proud of your accomplishments. To those that survived a stroke without damage , those that slayed menopause with grace, those that embraced new eating plans , I am in awe of you all. Thank you for trusting me to walk your journeys with you.
Here’s to another wonderful year of transformation, may 2026 be all that you hope for and more.
All my love , Docbron.

Let them shine .

Someone once told me to always live for the little things in life.

"Live for 5am sunrises and 5pm sunsets where you'll see colours in the sky that don't usually belong. Live for road trips and bike rides with music in your ears and the wind in your hair. Live for days when you're surrounded by your favourite people who make you realise that the world is not a cold, harsh place. Live for the little things because they will make you realise that this is what life is about, this is what it means to be alive.”

Taking a moment to shout out to all of you.

The Facebook posts, the comments, Instagram feeds, Twitter timelines, TikToks, WhatsApp groups, messages, phone calls and love. So much love. My friends, family and even social media acquaintances. My favourite people.

Thank you for reminding me that the world is not a cold, harsh place.

Thank you for letting me shine.

Except for the haters. And the trolls. And the people who don't like my hair. You're all as****es. And you make unnecessary noise. For some reason, you spread your hate, not just to me but to random strangers, to try to make yourself feel better.

NEVER be the reason someone stops dancing.

Just let people be.

You see, if someone is doing something that makes them happy, and it’s not hurting anyone else (or illegal), then don’t be the reason they even think for a split second about stopping. Why would you want to be the person trying to dim someone else’s light just because you don’t like the way it shines?

I digress. Jammer Wimpie.

To all the people who remind me that there is good in the world. To all the people who let each other shine.

Thank you.

Buy a donkey.

You make me (and so many other people around you) so incredibly happy. And I am so thankful to have you in my life. Good grief, I am surrounded by so many good people who drown out the noise and chaos. I am so, so lucky.

Just showing immense gratitude for the people I love and my friends who know how to be friends.

I hope today you get the opportunity to shine.

Okay. Love you. Bye.

🧪✨ Did you know? Homeopaths were the first to conduct placebo-controlled trials — a method that’s now the gold standard for testing all medicines.

Dr Alexander Tournier reminded us how homeopathy continues to stand up to scientific scrutiny:
📊 329 clinical studies (randomised & non-randomised) in peer-reviewed journals
🎯 286 randomised controlled trials covering 152 medical conditions
🔬 166 double-blind placebo-controlled trials covering 100 conditions

Modern research continues to confirm what Hahnemann pioneered centuries ago — that rigorous science and homeopathy go hand in hand.

🌍✨ Coming together for the future of homeopathy ✨🌍

This weekend, homeopaths from across South Africa — and beyond — gathered in Cape Town for the HSA Congress 2025. A space to learn, connect, and grow together as we explored the latest scientific advances and the role of homeopathy in shaping modern healthcare. 💚

Grateful for every practitioner, speaker, and supporter who made this moment possible — here’s to building a stronger, healthier future, together. 🌿

Think about toxins as being inflammasomes. Tiny, molecular triggers that cause your immune system to release cytokines in a response to these foreign invaders! Sounds awful, right? This onslaught can be made even worse if you carry a poor detox genotype + a genetic predisposition for inflammation. This is a "double whammy" to your immune system and could be the reason behind your low-grade, chronic inflammation, the bedrock to many diseases and autoimmune conditions. Get to the root of things - have your DNA test panels done today!

Did you know Peri-Menopause can start in your late 30’s to mid-40’s?
Did you realize that changes in your menstrual cycle, anxiety and increased pre-menstrual syndrome can be the start these changes.
Irritability , intolerance and rage are probably the most common symptoms I see in my practice in young peri - menopausal women.
You are not over reacting or loosing the plot. You may just be starting the chaos that is the peri- menopause.
This is a difficult time , that often goes undiagnosed but you do not have to feel this way. There are various treatment options that can facilitate a smooth and comfortable move through the peri-menopause and into menopause.
The first step is, you need to acknowledge that you may be there……
Sending love.
