Feeling Tired, Irritable, or Out of Balance?
Hormones control almost every system in your body — from mood and metabolism to energy, sleep, and weight. When they’re out of balance, you can feel exhausted, irritable, or completely out of control of your body.
Many of our patients come to us with ongoing thyroid issues, adrenal stress, PCOS, or perimenopausal changes. Standard checks often miss the full picture, leaving people without answers. Our private hormone testing digs deeper.

What Is Hormone Testing?
We use advanced blood, dried urine and saliva panels to assess your hormonal health, including:
Thyroid hormones (TSH, T4, T3, antibodies)
Stress hormones like cortisol and DHEA
Sex hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
This complete overview shows us what’s really driving your symptoms, rather than focusing on a single hormone in isolation.

Constant fatigue or low energy
Mood swings, anxiety, or brain fog
Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
Irregular or heavy periods
Hot flushes, night sweats, or perimenopausal symptoms

What’s the difference between NHS hormone tests and private hormone testing?
NHS hormone tests are helpful, but they are usually limited. For example, someone with thyroid concerns may only be offered a single thyroid hormone check, or cortisol might only be tested once in the morning. These results can come back “normal,” even when you’re still experiencing symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings.
With private hormone testing, we can take a much more comprehensive view. Instead of looking at one hormone in isolation, we assess:
Thyroid hormones in more detail (including how well your thyroid is actually functioning)
Stress hormones like cortisol measured across the day, not just at one point
Sex hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, along with how your body processes them
Additional markers that show how your hormones interact with metabolism, sleep, and overall health
This broader picture helps explain symptoms that standard tests may miss, and allows us to tailor a plan that supports balance in a safe, evidence-based way.
If you’ve been told your tests are “normal” but still feel unwell, more detailed testing can provide valuable insights into what’s really going on.
Do I need to stop medication or supplements before testing?
In some cases, yes. We’ll always discuss this with you before arranging any testing, and you’ll be given clear guidance on what to pause and when.
Is this covered by private health insurance?
Most insurers don’t cover functional hormone tests, but you provide clear upfront pricing.
Take the First Step
You don’t have to keep struggling with symptoms that are brushed off as “normal.” With more detailed testing and personalised support, we can help you understand what’s really happening in your body.
