Medicine is evolving. And so are the doctors practicing it.

If you’re curious about expanding your clinical toolkit, asking deeper questions, or exploring integrative approaches alongside conventional medicine, you’re not alone.

SASIM exists as a professional, non-profit platform where doctors can learn, connect, and engage in evidence-informed integrative medicine. Through education, certification pathways, and open clinical dialogue, we support practitioners who want to treat patients more holistically, without stepping outside science.

Time matters in medicine.

A 15-minute consultation can be enough to address a symptom. But it often isn’t enough to fully explore the layers underneath. The lifestyle factors, stressors, environmental influences, emotional load, and history that all shape how dis-ease shows up in the body.

When time is limited, care can become reactive. When time is available, patterns begin to emerge. Connections can be made. The real drivers of a patient’s experience start to come into focus.

Integrative medicine values this wider view. It recognises that complex health concerns rarely have a single cause, and that meaningful care often requires space to listen, reflect, and personalise the approach.

This isn’t about blaming the system or expecting every consult to be long. It’s about acknowledging that time is a clinical tool. One that supports deeper understanding, better decisions, and more sustainable outcomes for patients.

At SASIM, we believe medicine works best when practitioners are supported with the time and tools needed to treat the whole person, not just the presenting symptom.

Complex health challenges rarely fit into neat boxes.

Many patients today present with layered symptoms. Physical, emotional, environmental, and lifestyle factors often overlap. When care is reduced to isolated symptoms, important parts of the picture can be missed.

This is why a broader clinical lens matters.

At SASIM, integrative medicine is about creating space for doctors to listen more deeply and think more widely. Being truly heard is not just reassuring for patients. It often provides essential clinical insight. When a patient’s full story is understood, care becomes more precise, more personalised, and more effective.

A wider clinical toolkit supports this approach. It allows practitioners to draw on conventional medicine alongside evidence-informed complementary approaches. Not to replace one system with another, but to respond thoughtfully to what each patient needs in that moment.

Integrative medicine supports whole-person care. It strengthens clinical decision-making. And it leads to better outcomes for patients and practitioners alike.

Anxiety and stress are becoming increasingly common, especially in the years following Covid. Many patients are looking for support that feels gentle, practical, and sustainable.

Bach flower remedies can be a helpful tool in integrative care. They work on an emotional level, supporting balance during periods of anxiety, overwhelm, and prolonged stress. They are simple to use, well tolerated, and can sit alongside other approaches to mental and emotional health.

In our latest episode of The Integrative Shift, Dr David Nye shares valuable insights from his decades of clinical experience, including how Bach flower remedies have supported many of his patients as part of a broader integrative approach.

Watch the full conversation on YouTube and explore how integrative medicine expands the therapeutic toolbox for both doctors and patients.

There’s a shift happening in healthcare.

More practitioners are looking beyond symptoms. They’re asking how to support the whole person, while still working responsibly within clinical medicine.

That’s where SASIM comes in.

We support doctors through education and CPD learning that expands clinical insight, alongside a multidisciplinary community that values collaboration and shared knowledge. Our focus is on integrating complementary and conventional approaches safely, ethically, and with care.

Through research, resources, guidance, and advocacy, SASIM exists to support whole-person, root-cause medicine in South Africa.

Hormone health is one of the most significant challenges women are facing today — from stress-driven imbalances to environmental exposures and modern lifestyle demands. And yet, it’s also one of the most overlooked areas in conventional care.

Many of SASIM’s practitioners specialise in women’s health, offering evidence-informed integrative approaches that support the body’s natural ability to restore balance.

This includes guidance on endocrine-disrupting chemicals, gut health, detox pathways, lifestyle medicine, nutritional support, and safe, targeted supplementation.

Our goal is simple. Empower women with knowledge, help them understand their symptoms, and provide clinical pathways that address the root cause, not just the discomfort.

Year end message from our Founder Dr Bernard Brom xx

27/12/2025

Being truly heard can be one of the most healing parts of a medical consultation.

When a patient feels listened to, not rushed or reduced to a symptom, something shifts. Trust builds. The story becomes clearer. Often, the root of what’s going on starts to reveal itself. This is where real medicine begins.

As Dr David Nye shares, integrative medicine supports this kind of care because it gives doctors a bigger toolbox. Not to replace conventional medicine, but to expand it. More ways to respond. More options to support the whole person. More space to personalise care.

Integrative medicine is not about doing more for the sake of it. It’s about having the right tools available when deep listening shows that a patient needs a different approach.

Dr David Nye reminds us that listening is not a courtesy. It is a therapeutic intervention in itself.

When patients feel heard, trust increases, consultations become more focused, and clinical insight deepens. Integrative medicine places strong emphasis on this partnership model, where time, curiosity, and collaboration form part of the treatment process.
