WOMEN'S HEALTH & THYROID CONDITIONS

What I Specialise In

But whatever your condition please contact me to find out more

01.

General Women's Health

Many of my patients are women, and I work a lot with Menstrual Dysregulation. I work with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, PMT, and PMDD (a dysphoria before your period that causes severe depression). A lot of women suffer from this and aren’t aware it’s a medical condition.

I also work with breast health and breast cancer, supporting patients through chemotherapy post-chemo and radiotherapy and into endocrine drug regimes. At this time, it is essential to ensure the herbs prescribed are the right ones and can be taken alongside pharmaceutical medication.

Peri-Menopause & Menopause

Herbal support during this time can help mitigate the impact of the complex shift in hormones and its effect on mental, physical and emotional health. During menopause the production of certain hormones shifts from the ovaries to the adrenal glands. This means by building resilience and focusing on self care, it can help to navigate this transition. Burn out and exhaustion can make this transition harder. This is where herbs come in. They support all the systems that are vital for a healthy perimenopause:

  • Liver health to support hormone production
  • Bowel health to ensure clearance of oestrogen
  • Adrenal health to give us the foundation of a resilient stress response.
  • Nervous system support to help us ride the bumps.
  • Hormonal support: herbs that interact with hormone receptors to modulate our hormonal balance.

I also offer support with interpreting blood test results, diet and nutrition advice.

Thyroid Conditions and other endocrine and immune related diseases.

I have been studying the thyroid for 30 years since I was first diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. This gland is central to our wellbeing, energy levels and ability to function! Often under or misdiagnosed at the GP, leaving predominantly women feeling tired all the time, unable to shift weight and in a cloud of foggy thinking.

Herbs and dietary changes can bring huge changes to thyroid health and if the cause of the thyroid disorder is due to an autoimmune dysfunction (which it predominantly is), then this is doubly true.

I will support you to interpret blood results and make a plan for regaining your vitality.
