Some symptoms don’t shout. They whisper. And that’s exactly why they get ignored.

Episode 5 of our Getting to Know Your Doctors series sits down with Dr Siewert Alkema to talk about the warning signs people brush off… the ones that quietly turn into something far more serious.

We’re talking about the “it’s probably nothing” mindset. The headaches you keep pushing through. The fatigue you explain away. The discomfort you learn to live with.

Here’s the truth. Ignoring your body doesn’t make the problem disappear. It delays the moment you face it… often when it’s already escalated.

This conversation is real, practical, and necessary. Because early action can change everything.



Party simptome skree nie. Hulle fluister. En dis presies hoekom mense dit ignoreer.

Episode 5 van ons Getting to Know Your Doctors-reeks gesels met Dr Siewert Alkema oor die waarskuwingstekens wat mense afmaak… dié wat stil-stil in iets ernstiger ontwikkel.

Ons praat van die “dit is seker niks” ingesteldheid. Hoofpyne wat jy net deurdruk. Moegheid wat jy verskoon. Ongemak wat jy leer om mee saam te leef.

Hier is die waarheid. Om jou liggaam te ignoreer laat die probleem nie verdwyn nie. Dit stel net die oomblik uit wat jy dit moet hanteer… dikwels wanneer dit reeds erger geword het.

Hierdie gesprek is eerlik, prakties en nodig. Want vroeë optrede kan alles verander.

Protecting yourself isn’t just about you. It’s about everyone around you.

Flu isn’t “just a bad cold.” It hits hard, spreads fast, and for some people, it becomes serious very quickly. The good news is this… it’s preventable.

A simple flu shot reduces your risk, protects your family, and keeps you showing up for the moments that matter.

Don’t wait until you’re already down. Be proactive. Stay ahead.

Book your flu shot today.

Het jy al gewonder wat jou dokter sou gewees het as hy nie medies gekies het nie?
Ons het vir Dr Coetzee gevra… en sy antwoord wys jou die mens agter die beroep.

Ever wondered what your doctor would be if they didn’t choose medicine?
We asked Dr Coetzee… and his answer gives a glimpse into the person behind the profession.

April is Stress Awareness Month

Stress is not always loud.
Sometimes it looks like exhaustion, irritability, poor sleep, or feeling constantly overwhelmed.

The problem is not that we experience stress — it’s when we ignore it for too long that it starts affecting our health.

Your body keeps score.
And sooner or later, it will ask you to slow down.

Take a moment this month to check in with yourself.
Rest when you need to. Speak when it feels heavy. And don’t wait until burnout forces you to stop.

Looking after your mental well-being is not a luxury — it’s essential.

Episode 3 of our Get to Know Your Doctor series with Dr Sandra Carstens 👩‍⚕️

This time, we’re not avoiding the conversation.
Dr Carstens addresses the elephant in the room- the unsafe use of GLP-1s.

These medications are powerful tools when used correctly, but without proper medical guidance, they can carry real risks.

No shortcuts. No guesswork. Just informed, responsible care.

Your health deserves better than trends.



——————————————————————————

Episode 3 van ons Leer Jou Dokter Ken reeks saam met Dr Sandra Carstens 👩‍⚕️

Hierdie keer vermy ons nie die gesprek nie.
Dr Carstens spreek die olifant in die kamer aan - die onveilige gebruik van GLP-1s.

Hierdie medikasie kan baie effektief wees wanneer dit reg gebruik word, maar sonder behoorlike mediese leiding kan dit risiko’s inhou.

Geen kortpaaie. Geen raaiwerk nie. Net verantwoordelike, ingeligte sorg.

Jou gesondheid verdien beter as tendense.

Today, 7 April is World Health Day - a reminder that health is not something you think about only when something goes wrong. It’s something you protect every single day.

Real health is built in the small choices: the check-ups you don’t skip, the symptoms you don’t ignore, and the habits you commit to even when life gets busy.

At Heidmed, we believe prevention, early detection, and consistent care are what truly make the difference.

Take your health seriously. It’s the foundation for everything else in your life.

Easter is not just a moment. It is a reminder.

A reminder that even in the darkest places, there is hope.
That what feels broken can be restored.
That what feels lost is never beyond redemption.

The cross was never the end of the story.
It was the beginning of grace, of forgiveness, and of new life.

May this Easter bring you peace in your heart, strength in your spirit, and a renewed sense of purpose.

We’re kicking off our Get to Know Your Doctor series with Dr Kruger 👨‍⚕️

In this first episode, we dive into something most people avoid until it’s too late… regular health check-ups.

Because here’s the truth
You don’t wait until something is wrong to start caring about your health. You stay ahead of it.

Dr Kruger breaks down why routine check-ups matter, what they can pick up early, and how they could quite literally save your life.

This is not about fear. It’s about taking control.

Your health. Your responsibility. Your move.

———————————————————————————

Ons skop ons Leer Jou Dokter Ken reeks af saam met Dr Kruger 👨‍⚕️

In hierdie eerste episode praat ons oor iets wat mense gewoonlik uitstel… gereelde gesondheidsondersoeke.

Want hier is die realiteit
Jy wag nie tot iets fout is voordat jy na jou gesondheid kyk nie. Jy bly voor dit.

Dr Kruger verduidelik hoekom roetine ondersoeke belangrik is, wat dit vroeg kan optel, en hoe dit jou lewe kan red.

Dit gaan nie oor vrees nie. Dit gaan oor beheer neem.

Jou gesondheid. Jou verantwoordelikheid. Jou skuif.
