A consultation built around context, not a score

In clinic at 183 Bree Street in the Cape Town City Bowl, or by secure video anywhere in South Africa with any pathology drawn at a lab near you. Either way there is space to explain what has changed, ask questions and understand why a next step may or may not be useful.

A conversation first, not a conclusion from symptoms

Symptoms alone cannot confirm a hormone-related condition. A doctor can consider your health history, other possible explanations and any relevant results together.

About WellNest

Safety, suitability & medical information

Hormone optimisation at WellNest in Cape Town is a doctor-led assessment of your symptoms and biomarkers. Any treatment, including HRT or TRT, is considered case by case and reviewed over time, so your plan stays personalised.

This information is general and educational, here to help you make informed choices, and is not a substitute for personal medical advice. Our consults and services are personalised and are not right for everyone, and individual results vary. Peptide therapy and prescription medication are dispensed only where clinically indicated, on prescription, after review by an HPCSA-registered physician. If you would like a clinician to review your goals, medical history, and suitability before starting, you can book a consult with our team. Medical content is overseen by Dr Raythaan Addinall, HPCSA-registered medical practitioner (MP0941263). Last reviewed: July 2026. Next review due: July 2027.
