Dr M Mathir

Your family's partner in physical and mental wellness, proudly serving Glenwood, Durban. I believe that a family practice should be a warm and inviting place.

A space where the warmth of myself, my staff, and the gorgeous surroundings offers mental and physical healing. Before our consultation, you can grab a cup of coffee and sit in the garden. Your teens can ask for the WIFI password and your kids can play with puzzles or blocks. We practice evidence-based medicine, but with an emphasis on patient autonomy. Together we discuss and plan your next steps, prioritizing your needs (and your budget) and explaining how prevention now will also pave the way for good health in the future.

Weight struggles so often run deeper than food and exercise ⚖️

I understand that there may be many factors influencing your weight (emotions, hormones, life changes) and that each patient's is unique.

In our first consultation, I create a safe and non-judgmental space to explore all these aspects with you. Together, we’ll uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface and identify the right plan for you 📝

Women with PCOS often find themselves trapped in a biological feedback loop: the condition drives weight gain, and that weight gain worsens the condition.

Here’s how ⬇️

1️⃣ PCOS is deeply linked to insulin resistance, inflammation, and elevated androgens. All of which disrupt your body’s appetite control system.

2️⃣ The same systems we’ve explored in recent posts (leptin, ghrelin, GLP-1, cortisol, insulin) are already dysregulated in obesity. Add PCOS to the mix, and the dysfunction multiplies.

That’s why many women with PCOS develop obesity as a comorbidity, and why conventional advice doesn’t hold up.

Understanding the hormonal overlap helps explain why PCOS-related weight challenges are so persistent, and why addressing both metabolic health and reproductive hormones is key to real progress 👐

Time to get real with you all ⏰

I feel like so many perimenopausal and menopausal women (especially those struggling with weight gain) fall victim to these outdated misconceptions.

The sad thing is that many of these misconceptions are still widely accepted as the only option for treating menopause.

Let's educate our friends, our moms, our sisters, our aunts! 💕

Would you add anything to this list? What did I miss? 🧐

One day I will make a reel of all the pics and memories from this beautiful space. But today those stories play- Live and in colour- in my mind, as we close the doors of 38 JB Marks one last time.

It's the end of an era and inshallah the beginning of an even better one. Thank you to everyone who walked through these doors🩷

If your energy is gone, your mood’s all over the place, and your weight keeps creeping up ⬇️

You don’t need another motivational quote. You need a hormone panel 📊

Cortisol, insulin, thyroid, estrogen, progesterone: These aren’t “nice to know.” They’re need to know.

Knowing what’s going on in your body isn’t overreacting. It’s the first step to finally feeling like yourself again.

Limited hormone consultations available. Link in bio to book 🔗

📍Reminder: We'll be at 217 Montpelier Rd, from Monday!

If you’ve already struggled with weight or obesity before menopause, the transition often feels like everything suddenly got worse.
And that’s not your imagination.

1️⃣ As estrogen declines, your body becomes more insulin resistant. That means you store more fat and burn less energy, especially around the abdomen.

2️⃣ Appetite-regulating hormones like leptin and ghrelin also shift, making hunger feel more erratic and harder to manage.

3️⃣ Cortisol levels often rise during this time due to stress, poor sleep, or changing routines, adding another layer of complexity.

What you’re experiencing isn’t a lack of willpower. It’s actually a change in how your body responds to food, stress, and energy — and it calls for a more informed, medical approach 🩺
