What we help with
Hormonal health is important, but it is not the only reason to see us. Essentia Medical offers thorough consultations for people who want to understand their health, manage symptoms and lower their long-term risk.
Consultations for women noticing changes from their late 30s onwards, whether or not their periods have changed yet. We assess hot flushes and night sweats, sleep, mood, brain fog, joint and muscle pain, libido, and vaginal and bladder symptoms. Then we discuss every evidence-based option with you, both hormonal and non-hormonal, weighing benefits and risks for you individually.
Consultations for women whose cancer treatment has brought on menopause or made symptoms worse. We focus on effective non-hormonal approaches, intimate and bladder health, and protecting your heart, bones and joints. We always work alongside your oncology team.
Consultations for heavy or painful periods, premenstrual symptoms and mood changes, and hormone-related migraine. We also help you make sense of how your cycle affects your energy, sleep and performance.
A detailed assessment of your cardiovascular risk: blood pressure, a full cholesterol profile, blood sugar and insulin resistance, waist measurement and, where appropriate, coronary calcium scoring. This is followed by a plan to lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and vascular dementia.
Assessment of your osteoporosis and fracture risk, including bone density scanning where indicated. We also assess muscle loss (sarcopenia), and joint pain, frozen shoulder and tendon problems linked to menopause. Where helpful we work with physiotherapists and exercise physiologists.
A structured review of your personal and family history, including cancer risk, genetic testing where appropriate, and the right screening for you. We review gut health and nutrition, and give practical support with sleep, stress, movement and alcohol. The aim is to flatten the curve of decline and protect your quality of life.
Bring in what you take. We review each product against the evidence, check for interactions with your medicines, and help you keep what is useful and stop what is not.
