Do you suffer from any of the following symptoms?

• Monthly Bloating, Cramps, Mood swings
• Endometriosis, PMS, PCOS
• Night Sweats, Lost Libido, Hot Flushes
• Symptoms of Menopause
• Weight gain you can’t shift

If so, it is likely that a hormone imbalance is either causing or aggravating your symptoms.

The good news is that there are safe and effective ways to synchronise your hormone levels. Patients are often surprised at how easy it is to remedy these problems and how great they feel once they have embarked on a plan.

Most often it is useful to take a simple saliva test using our diagnostics laboratory and this shows us the levels of oestrogen and progesterone and their relative ratios.

Whilst hormone levels start to drop prior to menopause, progesterone levels drop nearly 100 times faster than oestrogen, leading to a condition called oestrogen dominance. This can occur at any age also due to the use of synthetic hormones like the contraceptive pill.

Natural hormones are bio-identical – that is they are the same molecular structure as the hormones made by the body. They behave the same way, metabolise (break down) the same way in the body and are used the same way the body uses its own hormones. They do not cause the dangerous and/or unpleasant side effects that are associated with the synthetic hormones in pharmaceutical drug-based HRT.

Visit us at The Taymount Clinic for an initial consultation of one hour to discuss your individual hormone situation. At this consultation, we discuss which hormone tests would be the most useful to illustrate your situation.

Tests start at £65 and vary depending on the number of levels of investigation. Amazing results are often obtained for many people by the use of simple natural progesterone cream which can mitigate the effects of estrogen dominance (often the cause of many unpleasant and uncomfortable symptoms from endometriosis to weight gain). This cream is available at the clinic if indicated at your consultation.

For more complex needs, natural hormone replacement therapy is individually made up. We write a personal prescription depending on your test results. Your natural hormone replacements are made up for your prescription by a leading European compounding pharmacist.
