Dr. Indhira Ghyssaert, family doctor and nutritionist at The Balance, shares why modern medicine must slow down to truly heal. Drawing from years of experience and global practice, she makes a compelling case for longer consultations, explaining why a one-hour first assessment isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
 
Dr. Indhira reveals how a truly holistic approach goes far beyond prescriptions, diving into lifestyle, mindset, and even the subtle ways stress shows up in lab results. From empowering patients to take ownership of their health, to why some popular medications like GLP-1 don’t work for everyone, this conversation is a call for a more human, personalized model of care.
She also shares real-life success stories—like the patient whose PMDD symptoms were transformed, and the woman who recovered through targeted supplementation—highlighting the potential of natural, evidence-informed interventions. And if you’ve ever wondered about the best supplements for menopause or low testosterone, Dr. Indhira offers practical, honest guidance based on clinical experience.
 
🔗 Watch now for a compassionate discussion that will change how you think about the doctor-patient relationship—and what true healing really requires.
