Hormones & thyroid
Hormonal and thyroid symptoms often overlap with fatigue, mood, weight, hair and menstrual patterns. A focused clinical assessment plus a small hormone panel is usually enough to clarify what is going on.
We do not promote unproven concepts such as 'adrenal fatigue' or generic 'hormone imbalance'. We use validated hormone tests interpreted in the context of your clinical picture.

- · Cold intolerance, dry skin and weight gain

FAQs
Is 'adrenal fatigue' a real diagnosis?+
'Adrenal fatigue' is not a recognised medical diagnosis. However, symptoms attributed to it — fatigue, low mood, sleep issues, weight change — are real and often have identifiable causes such as thyroid disorders, iron or vitamin deficiency, sleep disorders or depression. A proper assessment will look for these.
