Hormone Therapy
BHRT (Hormone Therapy)
Women and men both need a balanced endocrine system, as hormones regulate almost every bodily function.
Featured Practitioner
Dr Caitlin Scott
Dr Caitlin Scott is a GP with a specialist interest in bio-identical and body-identical hormones, gut health and integrated women’s care. After graduating in medicine from the University of Cape Town, she spent several years in South African hospital and private general practice, where her passion for women’s health first developed.
Since joining Levitas, Dr Scott has expanded her focus to hormone balancing, thyroid and adrenal health, and intravenous therapies - combining functional medicine training from the Institute for Functional Medicine with a bio-identical hormone certificate from the Marion Gluck Training Academy.
Her patient-centred approach to hormone health was featured in Frank Magazine. She is known for taking the time to listen, test thoroughly and build a treatment plan around each patient’s symptoms and goals.
Doctor-Led BHRT in Central London & Surrey
Levitas Clinic offers doctor-led Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) in Central London (Woodstock Street, Mayfair) and Surrey (Guildford and Esher), in partnership with the Marion Gluck Clinic. Tailored for menopause, perimenopause and andropause (male testosterone decline), our clinicians prescribe custom-compounded, plant-derived hormones matched to full blood pathology panels.
Rebalancing Naturally Occurring Hormones
As we age, hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone decline, which can impact how our bodies behave and function. BHRT is a process of rebalancing these naturally occurring hormones as they deplete with age. Levitas Clinic is in partnership with the Marion Gluck Clinic to bring you this service.
What Bio-Identical Hormones Are
Bio-identical hormones are plant-derived but chemically identical to the hormones the body naturally produces. Each prescription is custom-prepared for the individual patient at a compounding pharmacy.
BHRT vs. Conventional Synthetic HRT

Who BHRT May Be Considered For
Menopause and Perimenopause
Declining oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone can affect bone density, skin, brain function and cardiovascular health.
Andropause
Declining testosterone in men can affect libido, energy, mood and the ability to build muscle or lose weight.
Hormone-Related Conditions
Including PMS, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, thyroid dysfunction and other conditions linked to hormonal imbalance.
Stress and Adrenal Health
Chronic stress can affect adrenal hormones and, in turn, progesterone and oestrogen levels. Saliva testing can assess this alongside BHRT.
The Treatment Process
1
Initial Consultation
A full medical history is taken, with blood or other tests arranged where appropriate.
2
Follow-Up Consultation
Usually one week to one month later, to review results and agree a prescription plan.
3
3-Month Review
An assessment of how treatment is working for you.
4
Ongoing Reviews
Regular 6-monthly reviews and check-ups to monitor your treatment.
Adrenal Fatigue & Hormonal Imbalance
The adrenal glands produce cortisol and DHEA - the hormones that help the body cope with stress. Continuous physical or emotional stress, including poor diet, chronic inflammation, gut infections, lack of sleep and over-training, can keep the adrenals overstimulated until they eventually become fatigued and produce abnormally low levels of these hormones.
Because pregnenolone is the shared building block for both stress and sex hormones, sustained stress can "steal" it toward cortisol production at the expense of progesterone - so adrenal fatigue often shows up first as low progesterone, low libido and poor stress tolerance. We assess adrenal health with an at-home saliva cortisol test, and can arrange a nutritional therapy programme alongside BHRT to support recovery.
Signs of Adrenal Imbalance
Organised by hormone, so you can spot the pattern.
Low Cortisol
Blood sugar swings and sugar or caffeine cravings, digestive problems, frequent infections, PMS and low libido, mental and physical fatigue, low mood, poor sleep, headaches, low blood pressure.
Low DHEA
Persistent fatigue, low mood and anxiety, sensitivity to noise, low libido, dry eyes, dry skin and hair, hair loss.
