Patients often ask me how often should DUTCH and thyroid testing be repeated after initial tests are done and have started on hormones. GPs can only do a small amount of thyroid testing, so thyroid testing is something I'm asked about often. I answer this question in my members only Q&A session. If you’d like to ask me questions directly, please contact me to find out how you can be part of this!

One of the most frequent questions I'm asked is, when to do hormonal testing, especially if you’re in peri-menopause and having a lot of hormonal fluctuations. Not many doctors test hormones, so this is an area that patients often need guidance on, so I hope this helps!

Male and female hormone balance is really important for both men and women. We often think of hormones in terms of fertility, menopause or andropause and don’t realise it can impact mood, energy and weight at any age for males and females if the hormones are not in balance.

The amazing Davina McCall documentary this week on Channel 4. Well done on speaking out. From taking about the mood swings, brain fog, joint pains, insomnia, not being able to do your job, crawling skin (fasciculation’s).  I see more women with mood issues and brain fog than hot flushes. Low motivation is also a huge issues. Women need shows like this to educate and empower. Doctors are learning, but slowly. When I was GP training over 10 years ago, we were told to avoid HRT at all costs. Things are now changing, for the better. I’m passionate about menopause care because I see how life changing it is for my patients. Wonderful to have the breast cancer myths explained so clearly and the preventative effects of oestrogen on heart disease and dementia.  Super important to hear an open discussion about vaginal dryness. There’s plenty of treatment out there! Empower, learn, share.  WATCH THE VIDEO TO HEAR MY THOUGHTS ON DAVINA MCCALL'S MENOPAUSE DOCUMENTARY...
