I attended Hormone Equilibrium and saw Dr Mandy Leonhardt. I have written a detailed review about the service I received, which was excellent, on this website .

I wasn't feeling my normal self for quite a while, but the symptoms were a little Insidious. I put my symptoms down to simply being tired and getting a little older, so I carried on with things, but deep down I knew something was not quite right. I lived healthily, exercised and had a reasonably nice life so this wasn't normal for me. Eventually I did some research, and my gut kicked in that this was hormonal. I was particularly interested in Body Identical and Bin Identical treatment. And I knew I would need to see a specialist in this area to get some comprehensive advice and I was happy to travel to see one. However, I thought I would also speak to my GP at home to discuss things, and although she was lovely, I sensed she didn't really know a lot about hormones and the treatments available. She also suggested that it probably wasn't to do with my hormones, and to instead have a rather large amount of other blood tests to eliminate anything else that could be going on. Although I was grateful for the full bloods, the ones I really wanted to know were the hormone blood tests but I was told this wasn't normal procedure and the NHS would not test or include hormone tests just for general information, although they were happy to take the other blood tests. I felt a bit unheard. And that this was just prolonging the inevitable. So I offered to pay the hormone tests myself being as blood was being drawn. Which they were happy to do. So all the results came back normal, which was no surprise to me, except for the hormone tests that I had paid for, which I kind of knew would be the case. The GP still seemed a bit unsure about possible strategies for hormone therapies that I requested and was interested in that I mentioned above. I then decided to book a specialist. I looked at quite a few but Mandy stood out. From her Professional training and skills, her credentials and experience, and her lovely polite manner in responding promptly and with out any agenda. She listened and was caring. When I had my appointment, I found her professional, knowledgeable, patient, and extremely personable. She put my mind at rest about what was happening and answered all my questions with ease and expertise. Nothing was too much trouble. The Body Identicals worked for me from the day I took them. I honestly began to feel like I used to feel when I was a bit younger. I felt more energised, more up beat, I slept better, my skin looked better, more sociable and simply just myself again. It was quite amazing. In contrast, once I started feeling myself again (within the week), it made me realise how drained I had been feeling for a long time, physically and emotionally, due to my hormone imbalances. Yet I carried on, thinking it was normal to feel that way. Yes ageing is normal, but I realised you don't have to suffer if you don't need to and that there is treatment that could help some imbalances. So for myself, personally, it worked really well! It balanced everything out and gave me my old self back. So I am very grateful for that. I found Mandy such a lovely lady, reassuring and warm, with no hard sell. She also explained the importance of after care and follow ups. Which I am happy to do. I am pleased I chose Mandy as my Specialist. I highly recommend Mandy to any one reading the websites and these reviews, just as I did about 18 months ago, feeling angst and uncertainty about what to do next. I have never looked back. Thank you Mandy x
