Lily Stojanovska is an Endocrinologist based in Melbourne, VIC. She works with people when hormones and metabolism play a big part in how someone feels day to day. In clinic, that might mean helping with long-term health goals, or sorting out what’s going on when symptoms don’t quite match what you’d expect.
Lily looks after patients across a mix of common and more complex issues. Menopause is one area she often helps with, including postmenopausal osteoporosis. She also sees people with weight and metabolism concerns, like obesity and abdominal obesity, and conditions that tend to sit alongside them such as metabolic syndrome. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is also part of her work, along with high cholesterol and hypolipoproteinemia.
At times, she also supports people dealing with nutrition and body weight changes in the other direction, such as anorexia and malnutrition. That can be a hard period for families as well. Endocrine problems don’t always show up in one neat way, so Lily takes a practical approach, focusing on understanding the bigger picture and what can be done next.
Because hormones and metabolic health can link with heart health, Lily also works with patients who have or are at risk of cardiovascular disease. This may include atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and carotid artery disease. She helps connect the dots between cholesterol, blood sugar, and overall risk, so care plans make sense and stay manageable over time.
She also sees people in situations involving cancer-related endocrine concerns. For example, her work can include breast cancer, and cases where there are lung metastases. In those situations, the goal is usually to support the body during treatment, manage hormone-related effects, and help with day-to-day wellbeing.
Lily’s clinical work includes care for people who have had COVID-19 as well. Endocrine symptoms can shift after infections, and sometimes metabolism, energy levels, and overall recovery need extra attention.
Overall, her focus is on clear, down-to-earth care for conditions that involve hormones, weight, diabetes, cholesterol, bone health, and nutrition. She aims to keep things steady and realistic, because in many cases small, consistent steps make the biggest difference.
