Authorship and review
Clinical information is authored or medically reviewed by Dr Luhard Jansen van Vuuren, MBChB (Pret), an HPCSA-registered general medical practitioner. Substantive pages identify dates where useful.
Sources and evidence
Content aims to separate established guidance from emerging or uncertain evidence and prioritises primary guidelines, regulators, public-health bodies and peer-reviewed research where appropriate.
Emerging therapies
Peptide products and other emerging interventions vary in evidence, regulatory status, quality and appropriate use. Description does not imply approval, indication or suitability. A consultation does not guarantee treatment or a prescription.
Assessment-first principle
Define the clinical question, investigate where results could change care, discuss benefits, risks and uncertainty, and monitor outcomes. Weight-loss medicine, peptide medicine, hormone care and supplementation are possible components—not a universal treatment stack.
Updates and corrections
Material clinical content is reviewed when important evidence or guidance changes. Corrections are made directly to the authoritative page.
