Dr Mandy Leonhardt

Written by a private patient at Hormone Equilibrium

The biggest takeaway from my appointment with Dr Leonhardt was not the changes she has made to my HRT, it was the interest she showed in ME - the whole me, not just the issue I was dealing with. I actually felt listened to and I really understood why I should make some interventions. I would recommend her to friends and just wish I had gone to see her sooner in my menopause journey.

Not only do I see this Dr but I also refer my own clients for outstanding hormone care that is individual and unlike anything else available on the NHS. I and my clients have felt listened to and supported as well as cared for during the most turbulent and emotionally challenging time of our lives. I can honestly say I would be in a very difficult place with out this care. I cannot recommend this Dr and the service she offers highly enough. SS

Hi I just written a review with regard to Dr Mandy Leonhardt but I wanted to add a couple of other points. She listened to me and to all my concerns but not only that, she tested my ferritin levels and we found out that I had low levels which is different from checking iron levels. It might have explained my fatigue. Something other doctors don’t seem to take notice of because my actual iron levels weren’t as low. Also, because I potentially have an autoimmune condition of coeliac disease and can’t eat gluten and dairy, I was worried about my joint pain and possibility of having calcium deficiency, Dr Mandy Leonhardt arranged for me to have a bone density scan, DEXA scan. I have found out that I have osteopenia, the stage before osteoporosis. If I hadn’t found this out, I wouldn’t have known as the NHS don’t routinely scan women until they are in their 50s or 60s. I’m 43. I can at least get advice on the right type of exercise and minerals to improve my bone health and avoid potential fractures in the future. I have also found out that Oestrogen is the licensed product for osteoporosis according to NICE which I am taking now anyway. When I previously asked my GP about the impact of not eating dairy or fortified cereals as all gluten free ones don’t have added calcium, I was dismissed and told that if I reacted to dairy and didn’t eat it anymore then “where was the concern.” It is clear now from my bone density scan that I need to take calcium and other minerals to help improve this. Something so simple yet my GP never alerted me to it. My insomnia and sleep problems have improved hugely since starting my hormone therapy. Thank you Dr Mandy Leonhardt for taking the time and care to ensure all my concerns were addressed.

I first had symptoms eight years ago when I was 36 years old and pregnant with our baby. I suffered from chronic insomnia, brain fog, fatigue and feeling hot and cold but never associated it with hot flushes as didn’t go red. I had other issues of joint pains, aches and painful periods when these resumed after birth. I had other serious issues of multiple organ prolapse and sought several doctors and gynaecologists over the years for help and advice. My GP often dismissed me saying symptoms were normal after birth or that I was suffering from anxiety etc. I didn’t feel heard or listened to. Often I felt so down as a result of not being heard or believed. I once asked my GP to check if I had any hormonal imbalances or that I was approaching the menopause and I was told I was simply too young ! I started my periods when I was 9 so it wouldn’t have been that surprising if I was menopausal . My yoga teacher mentioned to me something about perimenopause and recommended Dr Mandy Leonhardt. For the first time in my life and specifically in the last 8 years, I felt heard when I finally made an appointment to see Dr Mandy Leonhardt. She listened to me and took all my concerns seriously. What struck me the most was how knowledgeable she was. She showed me a chart of how our hormones change over the years and had a lot of understanding about women and girls from different regions in the world and how life stresses can affect us. I am from the Middle East and have grown up in some difficult war torn countries. Dr Mandy Leonhardt prescribed me body identical hormone replacement therapy and my life was transformed within days. I suffered for so long and all I needed was one doctor to listen and take me seriously . This was last November and I have since, had a hysterectomy and organ prolapse repair having also found a gynaecologist that also believed in me and listened. The HRT helped me immensely as I have found out from Dr Leonhardt how important this is for recovery post surgery. Oestrogen helps with collagen levels. I was also given topical oestrogen to help with bladder and vaginal symptoms like pain, itching and dryness . All of which are related to low levels of oestrogen. I am ever so grateful for Dr Mandy Leonhardt for all the support and help I have received on a continuous basis. She is always prompt and happy to answer any queries I have. The prescription is tailor made for me and she was happy to amend this as my symptoms changed since my hysterectomy three months ago. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Mandy to anyone and have been already doing so.
