Integrative Medical Centre (IMC)

Based in Bryanston, the Integrative Medical Centre (www.imcmed.co.za) works according to the philosophy of keeping patients healthy (and not merely treating disease), by preventing the degenerative processes of aging and disease, thereby extending lifespan and increasing quality of life for patients. The IMC offers anti-aging and regenerative medical consultations, specialising in the early detection and reversal of age-accelerating degenerative processes in your body.  Therapy is individualised and comprehensive. Our doctors focus on treating the underlying causes of diseases, not their symptoms, thereby making you truly healthy, not merely keeping your diseases under control. At the IMC we believe in a new medical approach that integrates scientifically researched natural medicines, nutraceutical supplements, natural bioidentical hormones and dietary modifications to provide healing and restore balance. Essential to this wellness-based, preventive model of health, is the detection, as early as possible, of the signs and symptoms of disease processes before disease manifests. Disease is far easier to prevent than to treat. Our philosophy is rather for you to pay for your health now and prevent disease, than to wait to pay more for your disease later.  All the experts are under one roof.

Dr Hein Badenhorst

MBChB MPraxMed

Dr Badenhorst graduated as a medical doctor from Pretoria University in 1983 and as a family physician in 1995. He spent most of his career as a family physician in private practice, but became increasingly interested in preventing and reversing disease, rather than just treating it. In 2003 he became involved in nutritional genetics, serving as medical advisor for two genetics companies. Currently, he is the most experienced medical doctor in South Africa in the field of applied nutrigenetics. This approach marks a new era in individualised health management. Patients receive bio-genetic screening profiles and personalised treatment to reduce the risk of chronic disease. Dr Badenhorst counsels clients as a genetic wellness coach and uses treatments that include lifestyle modification, nutritional advice and supplementation with nutraceuticals and bioidentical hormones, tailored to a patient’s unique genetic blueprint.

Dr Bruce Webb

B. Optom (UDW), MBChB (UCT) (With honours)

After graduating from the University of Durban-Westville with a bachelor’s degree in optometry in 1995, Dr Webb went on to study medicine at UCT, graduating with honours in 2003. He practised in New Zealand, Ireland and the UK in both medical and accident and emergency clinical settings. During his last five years in practice, he studied the principles of functional and restorative medicine, fuelled by a growing realisation of the importance of an integrative approach to patient care and healing, rather than maintaining a focus on disease management. His passion lies in normalising and optimising the body’s physiology in an attempt to generate true wellness, as opposed to only minimising negative symptoms. Dr Webb has joined the IMC to further his work in this area.
