Treat the root cause — not just the symptoms
Conventional medicine is excellent at acute care. But if you are dealing with persistent fatigue, hormonal imbalance, or a chronic condition that hasn't responded to standard treatment, a functional medicine approach may be exactly what you need.
Book a ConsultationConditions we commonly address
These are areas where a systems-based, root-cause approach makes a meaningful difference — especially when standard care has left questions unanswered.
Chronic fatigue & low energy
Persistent tiredness that rest doesn't fix — we investigate the root cause rather than managing the symptom.
Hormonal imbalance
Thyroid dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, and sex hormone irregularities evaluated with targeted testing.
Gut dysfunction & IBS
Bloating, irregular bowel habits, and food intolerances addressed through a systems-based approach.
Insulin resistance & metabolic syndrome
Early cardiometabolic risk identified and reversed before it becomes type 2 diabetes or heart disease.
Thyroid autoimmunity
Graves' disease, Hashimoto's, and subclinical thyroid dysfunction managed with functional and conventional tools.
Brain fog & poor concentration
Cognitive symptoms that standard medicine often dismisses — we look at inflammation, nutrients, and hormones.
How functional medicine works at Health Hub
A deeper history
Your first appointment is longer than a standard GP visit. We cover sleep, stress, diet, environment, and your full symptom timeline — not just the chief complaint.
Targeted investigations
We order blood work that goes beyond the basics — hormones, inflammation markers, nutrient levels, and metabolic panels tailored to your presentation.
A personalised plan
Your treatment plan may include dietary changes, supplementation, peptide therapy, hormone optimisation, or specialist referral — all evidence-based, all explained clearly.
Ongoing review
We track your progress with follow-up appointments and repeat investigations, adjusting your plan as your body responds.
Why choose Health Hub for functional medicine?
Advanced training
Dr Kathy van Niekerk holds additional training in functional and preventative medicine beyond her MBChB degree.
Comprehensive testing
We use Nampath and Pathcare laboratories for thorough panels — not just a basic full blood count.
Specialist network
We work with Windhoek's leading internists, cardiologists, and specialists when referral is in your best interest.
You as a partner
We explain what we find and why, and your input shapes the plan — this is collaborative medicine.
