Frequently asked questions
Short answers here. The full FAQ page has more, and your practitioner can go through anything else.
Do you see both men and women?
Men and women book the same consultation, and your practitioner adjusts the questions to your body, your life stage and the symptoms you want to talk about.
Can I talk about perimenopause or menopause?
Hot flushes, poor sleep, mood changes and irregular periods are common reasons to book this consultation. Your practitioner looks at possible causes and talks you through treatment options for perimenopause or menopause, where clinically appropriate.
What if I'm a man feeling flat and tired?
Fatigue, poor sleep, low mood and changes in muscle or weight have many possible causes. Your practitioner looks at all of them with you. That might point to andropause, or to something else entirely.
Will I be prescribed anything?
Only if your practitioner decides it's medically appropriate after a live consultation. You might leave with advice on sleep, stress or nutrition, a referral, more tests or no treatment.
Do I need blood tests?
Not always. If your practitioner thinks blood tests would help, they'll explain why. Then they'll take you through what the tests show.
Can I keep seeing my GP?
Your plan can sit alongside care from your regular GP. Your practitioner will tell you if something needs an in-person visit.
What does it cost?
You'll see the consultation fee before you book. If treatment ever becomes part of your plan, its cost is explained before you agree to it.
