Hormone Therapy
Melatonin, DHEA, and pregnenolone play important roles in energy, sleep, recovery, stress response and overall hormone balance.
Levels of these hormones naturally change with age and can also be influenced by factors such as stress, lifestyle, metabolic health and underlying medical conditions. When suboptimal, they may contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, poor sleep, reduced resilience and changes in overall wellbeing.
At Harpal Clinic, our doctors take a broader approach to your hormones health, optimising both primary hormones and the wider hormonal system.
Our medical team has over 40 years of combined clinical experience in hormones, functional medicine and the assessment of complex health conditions.
Consultations can be online, via phone, or in-clinic. Blood testing can take place at our London-based clinic or in your local area.

Other hormones within the hormonal cascade, include pregnenolone (the brain hormone), DHEA (the happy hormone), and HCG (the human chorionic gonadotrophin hormone), amongst others. All hormones decrease with age contributing to the ageing process. These hormones all work in conjunction with one another as part of the orchestra and have many wonderful functions. Replacing the depleted levels of these hormones will aid towards the anti-ageing process in many different ways, for example, most notably, slowing down dementia and improving one’s sense of well-being, with many benefits and functions yet to be discovered.
These hormones are precursors to hormones lower down in the chain, for example, testosterone, the replacement of which, is noticeably felt. Replacement of these hormones confers long term benefits with usually little immediate effects.
Our two main consultation types are Focussed & Comprehensive.
Both options follow the same structure and clinical process. The price difference between them reflects the amount of clinical and consultation time allocated to you.
Both include:

Your exact journey will depend on what you have come in with; what your pre-consultation questionnaire tells us; and time.
We offer 2 types of consultation – a very detailed comprehensive consultation and a more focussed approach which is less detailed. Information about both these consultations can be found here. We are happy to talk you through the best option for you depending on your needs and budget.
