We often talk about the small risks of HRT, but how often do you hear about the benefits for our long term health?

HRT is prescribed to treat symptoms, but for many women, it can help protect bone health and reduce osteoporotic fracture risk, with evidence of cardiovascular benefits when started at the right time.

If considering HRT remember to have a balanced discussion to include the risks AND the benefits. ❤️

PMOS affects around 1 in 10 women of reproductive age.

How is PMOS diagnosed?

PCOS is diagnosed when 2 out of 3 features are present, after excluding other causes:

🔹 Ovulatory dysfunction
Irregular or missed periods.

🔹 Increased androgens
Hirtuism/excess body or facial hair, acne, or raised androgen or testosterone levels on blood tests

🔹 Ultrasound findings
Polycystic appearing ovaries on ultrasound

👉 You do NOT need to have polycystic ovaries on ultrasound to have PMOS.

PMOS can affect periods, skin, metabolism, and fertility—but symptoms vary from person to person.

Recognising the signs can help with earlier diagnosis and appropriate management.

Most people wait until they feel unwell before checking their health.

We know that many health conditions develop silently over many years. What if you could identify early risk markers on a blood test and make changes before disease develops?

At Better Bloods, we're a doctor-led preventative health clinic, founded by two experienced GPs who believe prevention is one of the most powerful tools in medicine.

Our comprehensive blood testing isn't just about receiving a list of numbers. Every result is reviewed by a GP, explained in plain English, and used to create a personalised plan to optimise your health.

We don't rely on apps or AI to interpret your results. We believe healthcare is personal, which is why every patient receives a human-centred consultation with an experienced GP.

We can help identify: 🩸 Vitamin and nutrient deficiencies, Cardiovascular risk factors, Diabetes and metabolic health, Thyroid disorders ,Hormonal imbalances, Inflammation, stress and more

Your health deserves more than a text saying "normal" result. It deserves understanding, context and a plan on how to optimise things.

Invest in your future health today- because prevention is always better than cure.

Take a sneak peek inside our clinic in Lindley! 👀

We still get asked this all the time...

"What do you actually offer?"

We are two GPs with years of NHS experience who have seen first-hand the impact of chronic disease on our patients. While treating illness is essential, we've come to believe that prevention is just as important as cure.

Many changes in your health begin years before a condition is diagnosed. Subtle changes in your biomarkers can provide valuable insights into your future health, giving you the opportunity to make changes to your diet and lifestyle before disease develops.

That's why we've created our doctor-led Well Man and Well Woman blood tests. These tests include a face-to-face consultation where we explain your results, identify areas for improvement, and create a personalised plan to help you optimise your health.

Our goal isn't just to hand you a set of blood results—it's to help you understand what they mean and empower you to take control of your long-term health.

As far as we're aware, there isn't another GP-led preventative health clinic offering this level of personalised blood testing and medical consultation locally.

We also specialise in Womens health- Perimenopause/menopause care, testosterone replacement and PMS/PMDD.

Dr Satnam is a professional football club doctor specialising in Sports & Exercise medicine and Mens health including Testosterone replacement & metabolic health.

⭐ Don't just take our word for it, check out our 5-star Google reviews to see what our patients have to say about their experience.

If you've ever wondered what your blood tests could tell you beyond whether they're "normal", we'd love to welcome you to our clinic.

Taking a GLP-1 weight loss injection like Mounjaro or Wegovy? This is something most people dont know..

These medications slow stomach emptying, which can reduce the absorption of oral medications. That means some oral hormones may not work as effectively, including:
Oral HRT, Oral progesterone/progestogens, the combined contraceptive pill, the progestogen-only pill.

This doesn’t mean everyone needs to stop these medications, but it does mean you may need to adjust your dose of your hormonal pill. In many cases, fully transdermal HRT (patches, gels or sprays) aren’t affected in the same way because they bypasses the gut.

If this applies to you, speak to your GP or menopause specialist.

Can you take HRT after a blood clot or stroke?

I saw a 48 year old lady who had had a stroke last year, she was struggling with brain fog and assumed this was all from her stroke. She also had joint pains, fatigue and night sweats and it was clear she would benefit from HRT. She hadn't realised this was even an option!

For years, women who had a DVT, PE, or stroke were told HRT was completely off the table. This is no longer the case!

According to British Menopause Society (BMS) guidelines, a history of clots doesn’t mean you have to suffer,  your care just needs to be personalised.

Here is what the evidence shows:
• Transdermal estrogen (patches, gels, or sprays) absorbs through the skin and has a neutral effect on clotting. It does not raise your risk.

• The Right Progesterone: If you need progesterone, body-identical options like micronised progesterone are much safer than traditional synthetics.

You do not have to live with severe hot flushes, insomnia, or brain fog. You just need expert, individualised care.

I work with women to provide personalised care to review your medical history to find a safe, tailored treatment plan that protects your health while relieving your symptoms.

Is your HRT making you feel worse for part of the month?

You dont have to struggle or give up on HRT. modifications can help.

● Switch to Micronized Progesterone: Body-identical versions are typically much better tolerated than older synthetic progestogens.

● A different dose or different form of Progestogen can help.

● Vaginal Route - This can bypass the liver, reducing the metabolites so is better tolerated ( discuss this with your doctor first)

● The Mirena IUD This delivers progestogen locally to the uterine lining. It keeps blood levels much lower.

If your HRT is causing a mental health dip, your regimen needs adjusting.
