    FAQs

    Is there an integrative or functional medicine doctor in Cape Town?

    Yes. Dr Dan Blanckenberg consults at Expand Health in De Waterkant, Cape Town, as an independent practitioner. He trained through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) in the US and combines conventional medicine with integrative and functional medicine, and looks for what is causing the symptoms.

    What can I expect during my first consultation?

    Your first consultation is an in-depth data collection and assessment where Dr Dan reviews your medical history, lifestyle, diet, sleep, stress levels, and more along with any previous lab tests. If necessary, he may recommend additional functional tests such as blood tests, VO2 Max testing, or additional scans. The session will include a discussion on potential root causes of health concerns and what a tailored approach to your health journey could look like.

    How does Dr Dan's approach differ from a conventional doctor?

    Dr Dan combines conventional medical expertise with integrative and functional medicine. Instead of just managing symptoms, he focuses on identifying underlying imbalances and optimising health using a blend of lifestyle interventions, nutrition, targeted supplementation, and peptide or hormone replacement therapies where necessary. Whether you're looking to optimise your performance or regain control of your health, Dr Dan's mission is to walk the road with you.

    Can I claim consultations from my medical aid?

    All consultations are to be paid in full at the practice. We will provide you with an invoice containing the necessary codes to submit a claim to your medical aid. Coverage will depend on your specific plan, so we recommend checking with your provider to confirm how much they will reimburse.
