PRIVATE HORMONE CARE IN LEEDS & ONLINE

Personalised, doctor-led hormone care for women and men, including support through perimenopause, menopause and andropause. Our HRT and bioidentical hormone service is available from our Leeds clinic and online across the UK.
UNDERSTANDING BIOIDENTICAL HRT
A Personalised Approach to Hormone Balance
Hormones influence so many aspects of how we feel – from our energy, mood and sleep to metabolism, cognition and sexual wellbeing. When they begin to change, the effects can be felt throughout the body.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those produced naturally by the body.
At Integrative Health, we take a highly personalised approach considering your symptoms, medical history, stage of life and, where appropriate, blood test results to create a treatment plan tailored to you.
But hormone health is about more than a prescription. We also consider the wider picture – including nutrition, sleep, stress, metabolic health and lifestyle – helping you feel supported throughout your treatment and as your needs change over time.
ARE YOUR HORMONES OUT OF BALANCE?
If any of these symptoms sound familiar you're in the Right Place
Emotions are all over the place
Laughing one minute, crying the next – sound familiar? It's a common thread among many women navigating hormonal changes. This emotional whirlwind is more than just feeling a bit off; it's a real part of your daily life that deserves recognition and understanding.
Energy ups and downs
Ready to take on the world one moment and struggling to get off the sofa the next? This unpredictable energy can disrupt your plans and goals, making even simple tasks feel daunting. It's a common issue that echoes the ups and downs of hormonal shifts.
Physical changes
Hot flushes that come out of nowhere, weight that sticks around no matter what you do, and skin that seems to have a mind of its own – these are just a few of the physical challenges that come with hormonal changes. They're not just inconveniences; they're real issues that affect how you feel about yourself and your body.
Sleepless nights become the norm
If you find yourself counting sheep more often than catching z's, you're not alone. Sleep, or the lack of it, becomes a major concern, affecting everything from your energy levels to your mood. It's a significant challenge that many women face, and it's high on the list of things we wish we could control better.
That foggy feeling
Ever feel like you're wading through fog, trying to grasp at thoughts and memories? It's frustrating when your mind doesn't seem to keep up with the pace of life. This cognitive haze is another piece of the puzzle many women are trying to solve.
The search for solutions
We all wish for solutions that feel like they’re made just for us, especially when it comes to our health. No one wants a one-size-fits-all answer, especially when dealing with something as complex as hormonal balance. Your story, your body, and your needs are unique, and that’s exactly how I approach helping you find your balance.

A PERSONALISED APPROACH
Let's Navigate This
Time Of Your Life
Together
"In my years of practice, I've worked with many women navigating the realities of hormonal change, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. From unpredictable hot flushes and changes in mood to sleep difficulties, weight changes and simply not feeling like yourself, these symptoms can have a significant impact on everyday life.
But hormone health isn't just about individual symptoms. It's about understanding how those changes are affecting you as a whole – your energy, confidence, relationships and quality of life. That's why I believe in taking a personalised approach to hormone care: listening to your individual experience, understanding what's important to you and working together to find an approach that fits your needs and your life".
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
YOUR CARE IS OUR PRIORITY
Our BHRT clinic offers personalised, doctor-led hormone care with an integrative perspective. From your initial assessment and baseline blood tests to tailored treatment and ongoing monitoring, your care is shaped around your individual needs – with the time and support to find an approach that works for you.
Personalised
Hormonal
Assessments
We start by building a clear picture of your hormone health – your symptoms, medical history, stage of life and the changes you've noticed over time. Every patient has baseline blood testing before their initial consultation, helping us understand your current hormone picture and guide your treatment.
Where appropriate, more detailed hormone testing such as DUTCH may also be considered. If your symptoms suggest that a more comprehensive investigation of your wider health would be beneficial, we can discuss whether our Functional Medicine service may be better suited to your needs.
1
Custom-Tailored
BHRT Treatments
Your hormone treatment should feel as individual as you are. Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to hormones produced naturally by the body, and your treatment is tailored to your symptoms, hormone levels, stage of life and individual needs.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we review how you're feeling alongside your blood results and adjust your treatment over time, working with you to find the balance that feels right for your body and your life.

Ongoing Support
and Guidance
Finding the right hormone treatment can take time, and your needs may change. Regular follow-ups and blood monitoring allow us to review how you're feeling, assess your response to treatment and make adjustments where needed.
You'll have a clear plan for ongoing monitoring and review, so your care can evolve with you over time.

A Whole-Person
Approach
Hormone health doesn't exist in isolation. We consider relevant aspects of your lifestyle, nutrition, sleep and wellbeing alongside your hormone treatment, helping us understand the wider context in which your symptoms are occurring.
Where your needs extend beyond the scope of focused hormone care, we can recommend more comprehensive support through our Functional Medicine service.
3
Understanding Your
Hormone Health
We want you to understand your treatment and feel involved in the decisions about your care. We'll explain your hormone results, treatment options and monitoring clearly, giving you the information you need to make informed choices about what feels right for you.
You'll also have access to trusted information and guidance to help you understand your hormones and treatment as your needs change.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is BHRT?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those produced naturally by the body. Treatment is personalised to your symptoms, medical history and hormone levels, using licensed, off-label or compounded preparations where clinically appropriate.
Is BHRT safe?
For many people, hormone therapy can be used safely when appropriately prescribed and monitored. Your individual benefits and risks depend on factors including your medical history, age and the hormones and preparations used. We assess suitability carefully before treatment and monitor your response over time.
Which hormones do you prescribe?
Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. We may also consider other hormone-related treatments such as DHEA, pregnenolone or melatonin where clinically appropriate.
How long does it take to feel a difference after starting treatment?
Everyone responds differently. Some people notice improvements within a few weeks, while for others it can take several months to find the right treatment and dose. We review your response and adjust your treatment where needed.
What’s the difference between BHRT and HRT?”
HRT is the broad term for hormone replacement therapy. Many standard HRT medicines already contain hormones that are identical to those produced naturally by the body. BHRT may also include personalised compounded preparations when a suitable licensed option isn't available or doesn't meet an individual's needs.
How do I know if hormone treatment is right for me?
If you're experiencing symptoms that may be related to hormonal changes, an assessment can help determine whether hormone treatment is appropriate for you. We consider your symptoms, medical history, stage of life and baseline blood results before discussing the treatment options that may suit you.
Do I need blood tests before starting HRT or BHRT?
Yes. All new patients have baseline blood tests before their initial consultation. These help us assess your hormone health alongside your symptoms and medical history, and provide a baseline for monitoring your response to treatment.
Are there any side effects of HRT or BHRT?
Side effects can occur, particularly when starting treatment or adjusting your dose, and vary depending on the hormones used. Many settle as your body adjusts, but we monitor your response and can adjust your treatment if needed.
