Your appointment at Thrive is a medical consultation with Dr Robyn as your GP. Before medicine, she completed a Bachelor of Health Sciences, Nutrition and Dietetics, graduating with honours. She worked extensively as a clinical and sports dietitian before her career change to medicine. That background shapes how she looks at your health. Sleep, stress, movement, gut health and nutrition all affect how you feel, and all of it is considered alongside any medical treatment.

Weight and metabolism

Hormonal changes affect metabolism, muscle mass and where the body stores fat. We’ll look at why, and what can help. Nutrition is considered alongside any medical treatment where clinically appropriate, not instead of it.

Bone health

Bone loss accelerates in perimenopause. Nutrition, movement and medical care all play vital roles in protecting bone health. Prevention is key to maintaining strong bones as we age.

Heart health
