PCOS
Irregular cycles, weight that won't shift, and a metformin script that hasn't moved the needle.
Insulin resistance, androgen excess, gut and stress drivers.
Conditions we work with
Five conditions. One root-cause approach.
If your body has been signalling for a long time and no one is listening, you’re in the right place.
Gut health, IBS, bloating
Bloating that doesn't care what you ate, alternating bowels, and a gut that runs your mood.
SIBO, gut dysbiosis, food triggers, vagal tone.
Type 2 diabetes & insulin resistance
An HbA1c that keeps creeping up despite the metformin and the morning walks.
Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, sleep, stress, fatty liver markers.
Skin: acne, eczema, hives
Adult acne, stubborn eczema, or hives no antihistamine has fixed.
Gut, hormones, histamine pathway, food triggers.
Thyroid & hormonal imbalance
A normal TSH on paper, fatigue and weight that say otherwise.
Full thyroid panel, antibodies, conversion, adrenal load.
Common multi-system patterns
Most patients have more than one of these going on at the same time.
Here are the patterns we see most often.
- PCOS, insulin resistance and skin breakouts arriving as one picture.
- IBS and skin (eczema or chronic hives) flaring on the same week.
- Hypothyroidism, weight that will not shift, and low mood that no antidepressant has touched.
- Type 2 diabetes, fatty liver and unrefreshing sleep (often sleep apnoea) showing up together.
- Hormonal acne, gut bloating and broken sleep, all in the same patient, all dismissed as separate.
This is why a single specialist visit, with a single test and a single tablet, often misses the picture. The body is one system. We read it that way.
A note on medication
Long-term medication is the marker we work to reduce. Not the goal in itself.
We are not anti-medicine. Short-term metformin, a thyroid tablet, an antihistamine during a flare, all of these have a place. Some medications, like insulin in type 1 diabetes, are non-negotiable and we will never stop them. What we work on is the slow, careful job of reducing your daily reliance on long-term prescriptions where the clinical picture genuinely allows. The number that matters is not how many tablets we can take away. It is how well your body is running underneath them.
