Standard approach
What will control it?
- Short appointments focused on the main symptom
- Tests read as "normal" or "abnormal"
- Hormones, thyroid, gut and mood handled separately
- Treatment mainly aims to control symptoms
About your practitioner
Alan Lee
Clinician, educator and researcher in functional medicine and functional neurology, specialising in gut, hormonal and brain-based imbalances.
Why this clinic exists
Beyond "it's just your hormones"
Too many women are told their exhaustion, anxiety, weight gain or brain fog is "just your age" or "just hormones". Alan's practice is built around taking those symptoms seriously and finding out what is driving them.
He looks at your hormones alongside your thyroid, blood sugar, gut, nutrients, stress and sleep. Alongside the Well Woman Clinic, Alan practises osteopathy in Llandudno and Menai Bridge, and he works alongside your GP and any specialists.

Why root cause matters
Two different questions
Standard care often asks which treatment will control a symptom. We also ask why the symptom is there, and what else in the body is feeding it.
Our approach
Why is it happening?
- Unhurried consultations covering your whole story
- Results read against functional ranges
- Hormones, thyroid, blood sugar, gut and stress looked at together
- A plan to correct the drivers, alongside any treatment from your GP
How it works in practice
What a root-cause analysis looks like
Perimenopausal anxiety and poor sleep, for example, may be made worse by blood sugar swings, low iron and a stressed nervous system. Supporting those can make a real difference, with or without HRT.

Your symptoms, cycle, life stage and history.
Measure, don't guess
