For clinicians and practices
A metabolic clinic you can plug into your practice.
You already know which of your patients would do better if the weight moved. Building a programme to treat it is a year of work and a payroll you did not plan for. Flourish is that programme, already staffed — 7 HPCSA-registered clinicians, a registered dietitian team and human coaches — running alongside your care and reporting back to you.
We are the metabolic partner to South Africa’s leading specialist practices.
Fertility, bariatric and sleep teams treat what they are expert in. We treat the weight underneath it, and send the clinical picture back to them.
FertilityVitalabWeight moves conception rates and IVF outcomes in both partners. We treat the metabolic side so the fertility work is not fighting it.

Medication is not right for everyone, and neither is theatre.- Restonic Ezintsha Sleep ClinicSleep medicineApnoea and obesity drive each other, so treating the sleep while the weight climbs stalls. South Africa’s first dedicated sleep research and treatment clinic, with Wits University’s Ezintsha.
What you get
The metabolic arm, not a referral form.
A metabolic arm, without hiring one
HPCSA-registered doctors, registered dietitians and health coaches already staffed and running. Your patient starts within days, not once you have built a programme.
You keep the patient
We treat the metabolic side and report back. Flourish does not compete for the relationship, the specialty care or the follow-up that brought them to you.
Shared reporting, not a black hole
Weight, dose, side effects, body composition and adherence — sent back to you as a clinician report, so you can see whether the weight is actually moving before their next appointment.
Nothing that looks like a script mill
Every prescription is a doctor’s decision on a full history, dispensed by an SAPC-registered pharmacy that is a separate company from the prescriber. Your name is not attached to a pen in the post.
Who this is for
If weight is doing the damage.
- Fertility
- Weight affects conception rates and IVF outcomes in both partners.
- Bariatric surgery
- Pre-operative optimisation, and the patients for whom surgery is not the answer yet.
- Sleep medicine
- Apnoea and obesity drive each other; treating one without the other stalls.
- Endocrinology
- Type 2 diabetes, PCOS and thyroid patients whose weight is doing the damage.
- Cardiology
- Weight is the modifiable risk factor sitting underneath most of the others.
- General practice
- The patients you have run out of options for.
How it works
Four steps, and none of them are a contract.
- 1
You tell us what you see in your rooms, and we tell you honestly whether we can help it.
- 2
We agree how referrals and reporting work for your practice.
- 3
Your patients start with a doctor consult within days — the same programme as everyone else.
- 4
You get their clinical reports, and a named person here to call when something is off.
Prescribing sits with a Flourish doctor and dispensing sits with Evia Health, an SAPC-registered pharmacy (no. 0979023) that is a separate company from the prescriber. We are telling you that because it is the first question most clinicians ask.
