Women's Health Audit
Women's Health Audit
Want to start treatment now and have your bloods checked too?
We start with a 45-minute conversation about your symptoms and what you need. If treatment is the right answer, it can start straight away. Your blood tests then rule out other causes and help me fine-tune your plan, and your review makes sure it's working.
2 consultations of 45 minutes, plus a blood panel · online or in clinicOnce you've booked, you'll get a private link to choose a time for your first consultation. Want to ask first? Message me on Instagram with the word AUDIT and I'll reply myself.
This is for you if
- You've been told everything is fine and you know it isn't.
- You're tired in a way sleep doesn't fix.
- You're gaining weight, however carefully you eat.
- Your periods are heavy or painful, or you're bloated and your digestion is off.
- Your hair is thinning or falling out.
- Your skin has changed and nothing you use is helping.
- You want to start treatment without waiting for results.
How it works
- Talk: your first consultation, 45 minutes. Your symptoms, your history and what you need. You leave knowing what is most likely going on.
- Start: treatment straight away if you need it. Where treatment is the right answer, it can start after your first appointment.
- Test: your blood panel. Chosen around what we talked about, to rule out other causes and fine-tune your plan. Once your results are back, I update your written plan around your own numbers.
- Review: your second consultation, 45 minutes. We go through your results, check how you're getting on, and adjust your plan if anything needs changing.
Do I need a blood test before I can start? If you're over 45 and your symptoms point to perimenopause or menopause, you usually don't need a blood test to be diagnosed or to start treatment. If something else could be behind your symptoms, like your thyroid or low iron, the blood test is how we find it, and it helps me get your plan exactly right.
What's included
2 consultations, 45 minutes each
Your first consultation to go through everything and get you started, and a review once your results are back to check how you're getting on and adjust your plan. Both are online, by video call, or in the clinic in Milton Keynes.
Treatment started as soon as it's right for you
Where treatment is the right answer, it can start after your first appointment, with the paperwork to act on it.
Your blood panel
A finger-prick kit at home or a nurse visit at your home or workplace, plus a mini Health MOT (blood pressure, weight and waist). The panel covers thyroid including antibodies, ferritin and a full blood count, HbA1c and fasting glucose, vitamin D, and your hormones timed to your cycle: FSH, oestradiol, testosterone and SHBG.
Your written plan, updated with your results
What your numbers mean, the changes to food, movement, sleep and stress that are likely to make the biggest difference for you, supplements where they help, treatment where it's right, and what to retest and when.
Why 2 appointments
The first gets you started. The second, once your results are back and you've had time on the plan, is where we fine-tune it around how you're actually doing.
Questions women ask me
Can I start treatment before my results are back?
Yes, where treatment is the right answer for you. If your symptoms point to perimenopause or menopause and you're over 45, you usually don't need a blood test first. Your results then help me rule out other causes and fine-tune the plan.
Is it just a supplement plan?
No. Supplements are one part and often not the biggest. Most of what changes how you feel is food, sleep, movement and how much your body is coping with. Where treatment is the right answer, that's in the plan too.
What if my results come back normal?
Normal blood results don't mean your symptoms aren't real. We interpret investigations alongside your symptoms, medical history and clinical circumstances to decide what, if anything, needs further assessment.
How do the appointments work?
Online, by video call, wherever you are in the UK, or in the clinic in Milton Keynes. Your blood test is done at home or at work.
I'm already taking something hormonal. Does that matter?
Tell me when you book. It changes the timing of your blood test and which markers I look at, and it very rarely rules the Audit out.
What happens after my review?
We keep going. I keep your whole history, so whenever something changes, or it's time to retest, you come back to someone who already knows you.
What if I want to go further?
Your Audit fee can be redeemed in full against the Restored Programme if you enrol within 30 days of your Audit review.
Ready when you are
Or message me on Instagram with the word AUDIT. I answer these myself, usually with a voice note.
