I now offer DUTCH test for my patients.

DUTCH ((Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) provides a 24-hour picture of how your body produces, uses, and clears hormones. It measures:

- Oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone — and how they’re metabolised.
- Cortisol and cortisone — mapping your stress and energy rhythm across the day.
- Melatonin — your sleep hormone.
- Key nutrient and detox markers — including B-vitamins, oxidative stress, and antioxidant capacity.

This gives us an overview of how your hormones are functioning and how your body is processing them, and contributes insight into your overall health for personalised treatment plan.

Castor oil packs may sound like old wisdom - and they are - but they remain one of the simplest ways women can support their reproductive health at home.

Research and clinical observation suggest they can:
* Increase circulation in the uterus and ovaries
* Support reduction in cysts and fibroids
* Ease pelvic pain and congestion
* Improve digestion and detox pathways

In practice, I see the best results when women combine castor oil packs with Chinese herbal medicine, supplementation, and lifestyle strategies that address the root causes of hormonal and other imbalances.

I’ve outlined practical, step-by-step instructions in my new blog:

One of the most impactful functional tests I’ve added to my practice is gut testing.

Many women I see live with ongoing digestive issues - bloating, discomfort, irregular bowels - or even symptoms beyond the gut like fatigue, skin flare-ups, or low mood. Often, routine tests come back “normal.”

The GI360 Complete Stool Test goes deeper. It looks at your gut bacteria balance, inflammation, pathogens, and protective factors - building a fuller picture of your gut health. With this insight, we can create a personalised plan instead of relying on trial and error.

GI360 is a comprehensive stool test analysing microbiome balance, digestion, inflammation and gut health — with clear results and personalised care.

Why Plant Support Matters — Even With Hormonal Therapy

Hormonal therapy — whether it's used to regulate cycles, manage chronic conditions, or ease the transition through perimenopause and menopause — can be a powerful intervention. But hormones are often only part of the solution.

No matter the reason for hormonal therapy, your body still has to absorb, process, and eliminate those hormones efficiently. If your liver, gut, or nervous system isn’t functioning well, the therapy may become less effective — or lead to unwanted side effects.

That’s where plant-based support — including herbal medicine and nutrition — becomes an essential ally. In some cases, it can eliminate the need for hormonal therapy altogether. In others, it enhances the effectiveness of treatment by supporting the systems that regulate and respond to hormones in the first place.

In my latest article, I explore how personalised herbal medicine, herbs at home, and targeted nutrition can:
- Help your body metabolise and clear hormones more effectively
- Reduce inflammation and histamine-related symptoms
- Improve mood, sleep, digestion, and energy
- Work alongside hormonal therapy — or, in some cases, replace the need for it

Chinese medicine has long taught that health depends on aligning with nature’s rhythms - daily, seasonal, lunar.

Now, chronobiology confirms it: our biological clocks are hardwired for time.

Discover how ancient wisdom and modern science converge - and why it matters in an age of artificial light, irregular schedules, and constant connectivity.

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) affects millions of women, often starting in the 40s or even earlier. GSM encompasses a range of symptoms related to low oestrogen levels in the vaginal and lower urinary tract tissues. These include:

- Vaginal dryness, burning, or irritation
- Pain or discomfort during s*x
- Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Urinary urgency or frequency
- Vulval discomfort or itching

It's a common, progressive condition, yet it’s frequently overlooked or dismissed. In my new article, I am sharing what GSM is, why it matters, and how it can be safely and effectively treated.

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause affects the vaginal and urinary systems due to the natural decline in oestrogen. Learn about evidence-based treatments.
