Chronic Illness Management

We live in an age where we are sold we can ‘have it all’ – but for most people, that’s not actually true. Our lifestyle is designed with ‘hacks’ to allow us to be more productive, but the busyness and endless stress of doing more is what causes a majority of chronic health issues to form.

To start to re-build a full and sustainable picture of health, no matter where you are, is not another thing to get busy with. Sandbanks Clinic are here to start to piece together the puzzles of seemingly incurable symptoms by looking at each piece. Only by slowing down and taking the time to understand and see the bigger picture, can we start to unravel the havoc that growing up in chronic busy lives has caused in our bodies. This is how we heal chronic.. illness one piece at a time.

An optimisation of health package can consist of genetic profiling which provide personalised clarity regarding which of the lifestyle advice is specifically appropriate for you.

Bio Identical HRT

Bio-identical hormones share the same chemical structure as naturally occurring hormones. This means that they fit hormone receptors better and have fewer off-target effects (side effects) compared to synthetic hormones. Non-bio conventional HRT generally uses synthetic hormones which are chemically different to those produced by the body. Generally the oestrogen used in HRT and BHRT are the same (estradiol) so there is no significant difference.

Bio-identical HRT (BHRT) is prescribed on an individualised basis for a specific client. In teh main we would always suggets using a regulated form of these bio (or body) identical hormones as per teh British Menopause Society unless there is a specific need to use a compounded (unlicensed form). The personalisation of need whilst prioritising safe practice underpins our joint decision on how best to help improve your well-being.
