A GP-Led Holistic Health
and Hormone Clinic.

The perimenopause and menopause can be a challenging time for many women. It marks the end of the time in our life when we have periods and as a result of this there are significant hormonal changes which can manifest in a wide range of symptoms.

As private menopause specialists we offer tailored in-depth hormone testing, licensed body identical HRT or bioidentical hormone therapy, along with lifestyle and nutritional advice and supplements where appropriate.   Our team of experienced women’s health practitioners can help guide you through this time of change and uncertainty.

PCOS is a complex syndrome that requires a specialised approach to identify the underlying root cause. As PCOS specialists, functional medicine doctors and experienced women’s health doctors, we help to address the driving factors of hormone imbalance making sustainable changes to see this condition into remission, improve your symptoms and therefore increase your chances of natural conception; as well as reducing the risk of developing metabolic problems such as diabetes in later life.  We use advanced hormone testing, tailored nutrition and lifestyle advice as well as hormone therapy where appropriate to achieve the best outcomes for you.

Endometriosis is a complex, chronic and often painful condition that has been very poorly understood, represented and managed within the conventional medical world. As Endometriosis specialists and functional medicine doctors, experienced in women's health, we have a deep understanding of all the key elements involved in the disease process.

Through the use of functional medicine testing and personalised medicine, we will identify the key drivers behind your endometriosis and work together with you to treat any hormone imbalance and make sustainable long-term changes to optimise your health and wellbeing.

PMS: Premenstrual Syndrome and PMDD : Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder

Premenstrual syndrome, also known as PMS, is extremely common and describes the mental and physical symptoms that occur in the one to two weeks before a woman's period. Women may experience low mood, anxiety, irritability, breast tenderness, bloating, acne, fatigue, low libido and migraines which usually suggest a hormone imbalance.

 Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, known as PMDD, is a much more severe form of PMS, with a tendency to have significant mood changes in the one to two weeks before a woman's period.  Women often struggle to function normally during the second half of their cycle and may experience disturbing thoughts and extremely volatile emotions including feelings of sadness or despair, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, feeling out of control, trouble sleeping, trouble thinking or focusing, sustained anger or irritability and frequent crying.

The most common hormone imbalance seen in PMS and PMDD is Progesterone deficiency in the second half of the cycle.  Progesterone is a naturally calming hormone and when levels are insufficient to balance oestrogen, symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, bloating and mood swings can occur. Supporting levels of this hormone naturally or with bioidentical hormone therapy is often beneficial.

Our team of women's health practitioners and functional medicine doctors can help you to assess for any hormone imbalance using tailored functional medicine testing and hormone tracking.  We will address the root cause of hormone imbalance and can offer bespoke hormone therapy to reduce symptoms and support you to gain control over your hormones and life.

Modern day living does not allow for much down time. Many of us run around in a state of fight or flight, with phones and emails chasing our heels. Fatigue or burnout is common, and is usually a warning sign that we need to slow down.

Our bodies are complex, and like a finely tuned motor, can go wrong at any point. Unfortunately, conventional medicine rarely allows enough time to explore the many reasons someone might be experiencing fatigue.  Functional Medicine, on the other hand, uses an extensive personal history to look at a patient’s patterns over his or her entire lifetime and connect the dots.

Factors such as lifestyle, sleep, diet, exercise, stress, mitochondrial function, gut health, chronic infections, environmental toxins, hormones, and more can influence energy levels.  As Hormone specialists we understand the interconnected web that involves sex, adrenal and thyroid hormones, the gut- brain axis and the gut- adrenal axis as well as the powerful mind-body connection.

Our team of functional medicine practitioners offer holistic health assessments, personalised testing (including gut, hormone tracking, bespoke blood tests) and tailored treatment plans.   We aim to achieve optimal health, wellbeing and energy through supporting sleep, gut health, hormones, mitochondria and adrenal function, whilst addressing any dysfunction.

Thyroid Dysfunction

Symptoms such as tiredness, weight gain, irregular or heavy periods can all be associated with Thyroid dysfunction . Unfortunately conventional Thyroid testing is now very limited yet the thyroid is intricately linked with our sex and stress hormones.

As GPs and hormone specialists we offer comprehensive thyroid testing (including T4, T3, antibody testing and reverse T3) as well as functional medicine testing to assess the root cause of thyroid dysfunction.

Our team of functional medicine doctors, qualified nutritionists and health coach can support you to optimise and preserve Thyroid function naturally, via nutrition and lifestyle, as well as offering thyroid hormone treatment where necessary.

Are you considering pregnancy or struggling to fall pregnant?  Have you suffered miscarriages and wish to take control of your health to optimise your fertility?  We can help support you along this journey to maximise your chances of natural conception.

We do not offer IVF but we can offer highly knowledgeable and professional advice to help seek any potential underlying causes that may be impacting your fertility and work with our team to naturally address these to offer greater chances of success.

Over 2 million people in the UK are affected by this disabling condition.  We know that Long Covid is a multi-systems disease that commonly affects the mitochondria, gut, endocrine system including sex hormones and adrenal hormones, autonomic nervous system, lungs, heart and small nerve fibres.  For many people, lives have been changed beyond recognition.  Previously healthy and fit individuals have been floored by this virus and many have struggled to find effective help and support.

Long Covid has taught us a lot about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ CFS/ ME which historically has been poorly understood.

Common symptoms include post viral fatigue, breathlessness, chest pain, headaches, exercise intolerance, neurological issues and brain fog.  There are many hypotheses as to contributing factors including mast cell activation/ histamine intolerance, dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, inflammation of specific organs, micro – clots and poor perfusion of the blood capillaries, mitochondrial dysfunction and HPA axis dysfunction.

Functional Medicine Doctor and Hormone specialist Dr Tanya has first hand experience of recovering from Long Covid and has a deep understanding of the factors at play.
