Dr Ledivia Strauss

Dr Ledivia Strauss is a general practitioner with a special interest in functional, integrative and aesthetic medicine. After completing her MBChB (Medical) degree at the University of Stellenbosch in 2004, she initially had an interest in anaesthesiology. After completing her post graduate diploma in anaesthesiology in 2007, her life took an unexpected turn when she moved to France with her husband who was a professional rugby player at the time.

After working in different health sectors in France and obtaining her two year post graduate diploma in Mesotherapy at the University of Bordeaux, she saw the ever-lasting need for women to become healthy from the inside out.

Dr Ledivia believes in helping people get to the root of their medical concerns and not merely masking symptoms. She has a passion for educating and empowering her patients with the knowledge and tools they need to become the healthiest they can be. Her greatest interest lies in the areas of healthy weight management, detoxification, gut healing, metabolic and hormonal health.

In her free time, Dr Ledivia leads a very balanced lifestyle. She loves French cooking, trail running and spending quality time with her beautiful family.

Living abroad, Dr Ledivia attended numerous international congresses, workshops and trainings in aesthetic and anti-ageing medicine all over the world.

Her studying continues as she strives to keep up to date with this ever-evolving field of medicine.
