Hormone Health and Thyroid
Do you struggle with hormonal imbalance?
We are passionate about women’s health and supporting women through each stage of their life. Using a personalised integrative and functional medicine approach we love to empower women to take back control of their body and mind and to flourish. Nutrition, movement, herbal and homeopathic medicines, acupuncture, mindfulness, holistic therapies and bio-identical hormone therapy are all used in our Hormone Health clinics.
Symptoms such as PMT, mood swings, hot flushes, irregular periods, poor sleep, heavy or painful periods, migraines, fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, vaginal dryness, recurrent urine infections, low mood, libido and anxiety can all be related to thyroid and hormone imbalance.
Common conditions we see in our clinic are Menopause, Perimenopause, PCOS, Endometriosis, PMS, Irregular periods, Heavy and painful periods, Hormone related skin problems, Menstrual migraines, Hypo and hyperthyroidism and Male andropause
We are highly experienced in using functional medicine testing, including DUTCH; Comprehensive Thyroid Function testing and the gold standard Cyrex laboratory, which specialises in functional immunology and autoimmunity clinical testing. We use gold standard microbiome testing through Invivo Healthcare. They provide world-class advanced laboratory diagnostics in gut, vaginal and oral microbiome testing. In addition we work with Genova Diagnostics for Nutritional testing and LifeCode GX for genomics.
Using a personalised and tailored approach we address the root cause of your hormone imbalance as well as supporting you in managing and reducing symptoms - the root causes of hormone imbalance can often be linked to gut problems, stress, nutritional deficiencies, blood sugar imbalances, detoxification issues or epigenetic changes. We offer a unique integrative and functional approach to addressing these and work with you to create a plan supporting your body and mind as we know how debilitating hormone imbalances can be.
Dr Sally Moorcroft has over 10 years experience of working with the gut microbiome and hormone imbalance, and her gut healing programme was successfully filmed for Channel 4 How Healthy is your Gut. She is a national speaker on Women's Health and is one of the most highly trained Integrative and Functional Medicine doctors in the UK.

She is trained in Bio-Identical Hormone therapy and Natural Dessicated Thyroid through the Marion Gluck Clinic, London the UK's leading hormone-balancing clinic that provides bioidentical HRT.
'Dr. Sally is an excellent doctor who is both professional and caring. She takes the time she needs to listen to concerns as
well as to inquire about issues to discern the root cause for things. She never makes me feel rushed and gives ample
thought and consideration to my health problems. As a woman, talking through the issues helps me to mentally process
the problems I am facing and talking is in itself a remedy of sorts. Dr. Sally is excellent at listening and I am very thankful
to have found her!' PM
