๐ŸŒฟ The Receptionistโ€ฆ ๐ŸŒฟ - by Liza Theunissen

Did you know that I am only a person?
I follow orders. I do my job.
I listen to your requests, and I truly try my best.

I am the middle person between you and my doctor โ€”
my doctor, who is also human,
who gives her heart, time, and care to help you
to the very best of her ability.

Did you know that shouting at me does not help?
That it is hurtful, and disrespectful?
Did you know that I only follow the systems and instructions
that keep this practice running smoothly โ€” for you and for everyone who walks through our doors?

My job is to welcome you,
to make you feel safe,
to ensure that you receive the care you need through my doctor.
My job is also to protect her,
so she can keep doing what she does best โ€” helping others.

We work as a team.
And when you show kindness to me,
you show kindness to her, too.

So please โ€” treat me the way you would like to be treated.
Because when you do,
me, my team, and my doctor
will go to the ends of the earth for you. ๐ŸŒธ

โœจ๏ธ What is Retinol?
Retinol, also known as Vitamin A, is an oil soluble vitamin found in food and used as a dietary supplement. When retinol is applied topically, it converts to Retinoic acid by specialised enzymes in the skin. It has been established that it can fade spots and pigmentation and speed the skin's cell turnover.

Essel's Aesthet Retinol Peel is an advanced professional chemical peel designed to exfoliate and address the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It helps to firm the skin and improve the skin complexion. Aesthet Retinol peel can be used for most skin types, and skin conditions including anti-ageing, hyperpigmentation, hydration, and acne.

๐ŸŽ‰ Happy Birthday to... me! ๐ŸŽ‰

Did you know? ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ
My full maiden names are Susanna Elizabeth de Bruyn โ€” the name under which I qualified with my MBChB. Friends and family call me Liza. I only officially became Dr. Theunissen in 2016 after marrying my husband, Jimmy. ๐Ÿ’

Iโ€™ve now been a GP for 7 years, and what an incredible journey itโ€™s been! ๐Ÿ’™

Besides being a full-time doctor and business owner, Iโ€™m also a proud mom of three beautiful, talented kids who keep life busy and full of joy. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ

When I do get a moment to myself, I love to crochet, paint, colour, sing, and play guitar. ๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ’ช

๐ŸŒ Fun fact: Iโ€™ve been lucky enough to travel to some amazing places โ€” Namibia, Botswana, Ireland, Seychelles, Argentina, Germany, Poland, and Australia! Each country has left its own mark on my heart. โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ซ

Hereโ€™s to another year of growth, gratitude, and giving my best to my family, patients, and community. โค๏ธ

โœจ A big shout-out to all the doctor moms out there, and to every working mom giving it her all every single day! ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒธ

Iโ€™ve been wanting to post about this for a while nowโ€ฆ because letโ€™s be honest โ€” everyone has heard about GLP-1s by now!

But hereโ€™s the thing: why keep it hush-hush, when you can safely see your doctor, get the real, prescription version, and do it the right way?

Yes โ€” GLP-1 medications truly are the next best thing since sliced bread ๐Ÿž
The biggest breakthrough since penicillin ๐Ÿ’‰
And for many, as life-changing as insulin itself.

๐Ÿ’Š ๐‘พ๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’Š๐’” ๐‘ฎ๐‘ณ๐‘ท-1?
GLP-1, or Glucagon-like Peptide-1, is a natural incretin hormone in your body that helps control blood sugar and appetite.

๐Ÿ‘‰ GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that mimic this hormone to help treat Type 2 Diabetes and obesity by activating the GLP-1 receptor โ€” lowering blood sugar and promoting healthy weight loss.
๐ŸŒฟ Beyond blood sugar and weight โ€” these medications have shown protective benefits for the heart and kidneys, reducing cardiovascular risk and slowing kidney damage in people with diabetes or metabolic risk factors.

How GLP-1 Works:
๐Ÿฉธ Stimulates Insulin: prompts the pancreas to release insulin and lower blood sugar.
๐Ÿšซ Inhibits Glucagon: reduces glucagon, the hormone that raises blood sugar.
๐Ÿ•’ Slows Digestion: keeps food in the stomach longer, so you feel fuller for longer.
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Reduces Appetite: curbs hunger and cravings, helping reduce calorie intake and support weight loss.

Saxenda (liraglutide) โ€“ daily injection for weight management.
Trulicity (dulaglutide) โ€“ weekly injection for Type 2 Diabetes.
Ozempic (semaglutide) โ€“ weekly injection for Type 2 Diabetes.
Wegovy (semaglutide) โ€“ higher-dose version for weight loss (recently launched in SA).
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) โ€“dual GLP-1 & GIP agonist.

No mystery โ€œweight-loss shots.โ€
No compounded, unregulated blends with unknown ingredients.
โœ… Just safe, evidence-based medicine โ€” prescribed by your doctor and dispensed at a licensed pharmacy.

If youโ€™ve been curious about GLP-1s, or wondering if they might be right for you โ€” this is your sign to have an open, honest chat with your doctor.
