London Hormone Clinic

At London Hormone Clinic we specialise in treating a wide range of hormonal conditions. Jan and Amalia have worked together for several years.

At LHC we have expertise in treating a wide range of hormonal conditions. We aim for hormonal optimization to restore women’s health and wellbeing. We firmly believe that women should not suffer in silence and strive to help our patients recover and achieve their full potential. They had in fact been at the same school (though not quite at the same time). Their passion for promoting bio-identical hormone therapy has inspired them to set up LHC, where they can combine their extensive knowledge with experience. LHC allows them to adopt an integrated approach to optimum health, greatly enhanced by their shared ideology and approach to patient care

You hear a lot of advice from us, so we thought you might want to see the faces behind the knowledge and find out about our years of expertise.

On the right, is Dr Jan Toledano, clinic founder and owner. An acclaimed expert and pioneer in the field of women's hormonal health. She read medicine at Oxford and UCL, graduating with a distinction in surgery. After training under some of the most renowned doctors in hormonal medicine, she established London Hormone Clinic in 2016. Jan is passionate about combining evidence-based medicine with a unique approach to patient care and is committed to personalised treatment plans.

Next to Jan, is Dr Eleanor King, a qualified GP with a first-class degree in clinical sciences. She’s also a specialist in dermatology. Eleanor is passionate about hormonal health and, like Jan, has trained with internationally renowned doctors in this field. Joining the clinic in 2018, she combines extensive medical and hormonal knowledge with her astute and supportive nature, successfully treating both men and women.

Dr Georgina Leslie studied medicine in Sheffield and obstetrics and gynaecology in London. With extensive experience in ultrasound and fertility issues, she’s also an expert in post-reproductive health. This background combined with her compassionate, insightful approach sees her supporting women of all ages at every stage of their hormonal life cycle.

Dr Shabana Issa graduated from UCL before spending almost twenty years working in London’s hospitals. As a Consultant in Emergency Medicine, she became increasingly aware that chronic conditions could be prevented with the right guidance and support. This sparked her interest in preventative healthcare and hormone medicine, an area in which she has considerable expertise. She combines this extensive knowledge with holistic insights to help patients achieve long-term health and vitality.

Pill, patch, cream, or gel?

There’s so much ‘information’ out there right now telling women which type of HRT is ‘safer’. The trouble is most of this is misinformation. It has no basis in fact and is, more often than not, outdated advice.

Here’s what you need to know…

Whether you swallow oestrogen in the form of a tablet, absorb it through your skin in a gel, patch, or film, or take it vaginally, it doesn’t matter. If this oestrogen is body-identical, and in most cases what you are prescribed is, then it is equally safe. Pills, gels, and tablets are equally safe.

There’s so much choice simply for choice.

One of the most incorrect statements out there is that transdermal (absorbed through the skin) oestrogen is safer than a tablet. It’s not. Swallowing oestrogen (plus micronised progesterone) has a better benefit in terms of lowering cholesterol and protecting against cardiovascular disease when you compare it to transdermal oestrogen.

Hormone treatment, just like the symptoms women experience, is highly personal and all that really matters is the treatment you receive is the one that’s right for you.

We spent the day talking all things menopause, perimenopause, insulin resistance, endometriosis… the list goes on and on. We covered hormones throughout the lifecycle in our chat with the brilliant Angela Walker Reports .

And over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be sharing these conversations with you. Why? Because we believe no woman, or man should suffer the impacts of hormonal imbalances. These life-changing symptoms can and do destroy lives and yet, they are often easy to treat.

The first step is knowledge – enabling everyone to recognise the symptoms. The second is understanding and the third is knowing when and where to go for help.

Here at London Hormone Clinic, we’re passionate about sharing our knowledge and years of expertise with as many people as possible. Helping them to cut through the ‘noise’ and misinformation which increasingly surrounds hormonal conditions and showing them that help is out there if they know when and where to look for it.

If you have a burning question, or something you’d like to know about, leave a comment below. You will also find lots more information on our website: www.londonhormoneclinic.com and don’t forget to check out the journal section whilst you’re there.

There’s lots of talk in the press at the moment about semaglutides or weight loss drugs as they’re more commonly known and the fact that 85% of patients regain weight after coming off these medications if significant nutritional changes are not made whilst they are on them.

Studies have shown this to be true and that’s why we take steps to successfully transition patients both onto and off , and .

Our goal is, and always has been, to use these medications to support the safe and effective reversal of insulin resistance – the leading cause of ageing and the driver for many diseases such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes and infertility. And so, every patient is required to have ongoing nutritional support whilst using these medications to help them develop healthy habits for life.

We look at diet, whether it’s balanced, and whether there’s a reliance on ultra-processed foods. We do this to make sure patients don’t become malnourished. We also ensure patients are eating enough (but not too much) protein from real food sources.

And then there’s movement. When losing fat, you often lose muscle too and so resistance training is particularly important as is introducing small, but meaningful changes to the way you move throughout the day.

To find out more about the way we work, head to the website. And if you have any specific questions about semaglutides then please get in touch.

Expert urges women in their 50s to take advantage of 'free' anti-ageing treatment 'on NHS'

That was the headline, and to be fair, it is what Dr Jan Toledano thinks.

Currently, only 14% of women are taking hormone replacement therapy which means that many are missing out on its benefits which include protection from osteoporosis and heart disease. Instead, growing numbers of menopausal women are reaching for ‘anti-ageing’ supplements despite the fact there’s no scientific evidence to say these work any better than HRT.

Dr Jan suggests that women experiencing thinning hair, tired skin, and other signs of sudden ageing should consider HRT before expensive creams and supplements, particularly body identical HRT because this provides the building blocks for human tissue, including collagen which is frequently being sold as a supplement that can combat the signs of ageing.

If you’d like to know more about the benefits of HRT, check out our website. You’ll also find the full article on the press page. Link in bio.

Dr Jan Toledano speaking to the Daily Mail today about endometriosis and why, rather than focusing on late-stage treatment options, the focus should turn to education, early diagnosis and treatment.

“It would be far better,” Jan says, “to give younger women with signs of the condition preventative treatments such as high doses of progesterone alone, to prevent their disease getting to the stage where it is so severe we need to target it in different ways.

We repeatedly see women being told their pain is something to put up with, but by treating it sooner we can remove the need for surgery, prevent disease progression, avoid years of pain and preserve fertility.”

Educating and empowering women is a big part of what we do at London Hormone Clinic and when we’re invited to share our knowledge and experience, we take it.

Dr Jan Toledano joined Artistic Director of Sculpture in the City, Stella Ioannou, Artist, and Founder of , Alvina Appleton for a discussion about hormone health. They talked about why we know so little about something that has such a big impact on our lives and what we can do to change that.

It was agreed that generally women need a better understanding of what happens to our hormones throughout the lifecycle, what’s normal and what’s not. We also need to empower ourselves so that we have the confidence to ask for help when we need it and not suffer in silence. Knowing where to go, and who to ask for help is the first step.

Ultimately, we need to keep talking to each other and sharing our experiences. Friend to friend, mother to daughter, partner to partner. We’ve made great progress over the past few years, now we need to keep building on that.

It’s World Health Day – a celebration of the founding of the World Health Organisation, back in 1948. This year’s event shines a light on maternal and newborn health, but many women with endometriosis and adenomyosis struggle for years to conceive or are denied a chance at motherhood because they've waited too long for a diagnosis and treatment.

Without treatment endometriosis is allowed to flourish and the inflammations of endometriosis cells cause scarring to reproductive organs – the fallopian tubes and ovaries. The fallopian tubes become blocked and there’s often no ovulation which means women can’t have a natural pregnancy. It goes further, lots of women with endometriosis can’t have penetrative s*x because of very deep pain in the pelvis.

Left without treatment, endometriosis can damage the pelvic organs over time. If you treat it early, you don’t allow the endometriosis to take hold and in doing so you protect the reproductive organs from damage.

And so, we repeat our plea to treat women with menstrual disorders such as heavy periods (caused by low progesterone) and painful periods (often caused by adenomyosis and endometriosis) with micronized progesterone. There is no need to wait for scans. Endometriosis and adenomyosis are easy to diagnose, the issue is a lack of knowledge about these conditions amongst front line health workers and misogyny in medicine.

It’s Adenomyosis Awareness Month – and awareness around this condition is something that definitely needs to be raised.

We see it all too often, women who have lived with the condition for years, and yet have been routinely dismissed by doctors, often being told that their periods are ‘completely normal’ and their pain, ‘nothing to make a fuss about.’

Once again, we say that exceptionally heavy periods are not normal, nor should they be tolerated. They are often a sign of endometriosis (where tissue similar to the uterus lining is found outside of the womb) or adenomyosis (where this tissue grows inside the muscular wall of the uterus).

It’s thought one in ten women live with adenomyosis and far too many of them are dismissed by their GP, wait years for a diagnosis and are then told that surgery is their only option. It’s not.

We repeat our plea to treat women with menstrual disorders, such as heavy periods (caused by low progesterone) and painful periods (often caused by adenomyosis or endometriosis) with micronized progesterone. There is no need to wait for scans. By treating these women early, a lifetime of pain and complications can be avoided. And their fertility protected.

We continue to do what we can to educate and empower all women, so they don’t suffer in silence or live with debilitating pain and constant bleeding. Something has to change and knowledge, as they say, is power.

Stylist magazine recently asked Dr Jan Toledano to explain what happens to women’s periods after the age of 40, and she was more than happy to oblige. You can read the full article here: https://www.stylist.co.uk/fitness-health/wellbeing/how-periods-change-after-40/959226

Here’s what you really need to know:

There is no one-size-fits-all. And what happens to one woman one month is often not replicated the next…

After the age of 40, periods can become heavier, more painful, and less regular. They can also become more frequent, with some women getting periods every two weeks. Periods can also last longer. All of this can, and often is, accompanied by worsening PMS, which can include breast tenderness, bloating, anxiety, poor sleep and migraines.

The reason is not, as many women and even those in the medical profession think, perimenopause. Changes to periods are caused by low progesterone and fluctuating oestrogen. These women do not need extra oestrogen, and yet are often prescribed it, they just need progesterone.

If women understand what is happening to their own bodies that is a great start. No woman should be putting up with heavy, painful periods, or terrible PMS or PMDD.

A 'new' tablet known as relugolix combination therapy has been approved as a treatment for endometriosis, for patients who have tried all other options.

This 'new' treatment works by firstly putting women into menopause and then giving them daily medication like the contraceptive pill or hrt. It's not really anything different, more of a 're-branding' of current treatments.

As this case study in The Times today shows, many women don't tolerate this tablet, or suffer side effects.

Wouldn't it be better to give young women who present with signs of endometriosis preventative treatments like progesterone to prevent them having to have these kind of late-stage medications and surgery?

What we really need is a better awareness amongst frontline health workers of the signs of endometriosis and earlier treatment and diagnosis. Now that would be a breakthrough.

You can read the article here: https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/article/new-endometriosis-drug-26zx6w387 #:~:text=I%20didn't%20feel%20any,adjust%20to%20the%20new%20medication.
