Press Kit
Dr Simone Silver graduated from Wits Medical School in 2007.
Even as a young medical student, although it was not formally taught in the curriculum at the time, she was intrigued by the concept of interconnectedness in health:
The different systems and tissues inside the body are all intricately connected and also influenced by networks of environmental, dietary, genetic, psychological and socio-cultural factors.
Over the years as her studies took her into the fields of personalised medicine and peri/menopausal care, her interest in individualised healthcare and health transformation has become an inexhaustible passion.
Her areas of particular interest are hormonal imbalances in women, particularly during the transitional times of the midlife years and the menopause as well as chronic stress and burnout management. She delights in sharing her wisdom and knowledge and learning from others, ensuring she is an eternal student of life.
She is a great believer in self-awareness and consciousness as vital tools in both health and personal transformation and it her mission to share with patients how to weave together the science of medicine with the soul of the people we are so that we may live and thrive in our greatest health and personal potential. She coins her perspective “The Artistry of Health”
