Dr Frances Pitsilis is Breakfast's resident health expert.
Dr Frances Pitsilis (MB BS (Mon) Dip Obst, Dip Occup Med, FRNZCGP ) has a background of over 20 years in General Medicine. She developed an interest in Stress and illness early in her career as a GP when she realised that the majority of illnesses were related to it.
After becoming 'burnt out' for the second time, she decided to use her interest in stress and underwent further studies in occupational medicine and also trained to be a professional speaker.
She now sees patients privately, for stress, pain, fatigue, complex/difficult conditions including hormones and shift work problems.
When seeing private patients, she takes a holistic approach and uses evidence based on natural, complementary therapies and lifestyle interventions where appropriate
Dr Pitsilis also practices appearance or cosmetic medicine to balance out her work on stress.
As if that is not enough, this high achieving doctor, who likes
to keep busy, is continuing her speaking, training and media
work as she enjoys educating the public about stress, life
management and holistic health.
