After 10+ years in a thyroid-focused integrative health clinic, Lucy Rose has seen one clear pattern: hormonal symptoms are real, they have real root causes, and they are treatable. The first step is understanding what’s actually driving them.

Lucy Rose — Fixing Your Hormones After 40
40% of women with hormonal symptoms have a thyroid problem affecting their severity — and these are the women for whom other interventions haven’t worked.
When the thyroid is underactive, oestrogen cannot clear properly, cortisol dysregulates, and the entire hormonal cascade falls out of balance. Figuring out what is causing what requires more sensitive testing than Medicare uses.
Many symptoms — hot flushes, weight gain, mood swings, insomnia — can be due to thyroid, adrenal, blood sugar, or sex hormones. Our assessment looks at all of them.
When thyroid function is low, excess hormones won't clear — driving estrogen dominance, heavier periods, PMS and mood swings.
Low thyroid drives cortisol dysregulation — the mid-afternoon crash, waking tired, carb cravings. These aren't "just stress."
An underperforming thyroid creates systemic inflammation that undermines every other hormone in your body.
Unlike a standard GP visit, our approach looks at your full hormonal ecosystem — starting with the thyroid, because it influences everything else.
TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, Anti-TPO, Anti-TG, SHBG. Low thyroid impairs ovulation, prevents oestrogen clearance, and drives the entire hormonal cascade out of balance.
This is where we begin every hormonal health assessment
High estrogen with dwindling progesterone is the main driver of PMS, heavy periods, mood swings, and breast pain. We test at the right time in your cycle for accurate results.
Imbalances drive fatigue, inflammation, blood sugar problems, and weight gain — especially around the trunk. We use a 3-point salivary test for the most accurate picture.
Insulin resistance drives sugar cravings, energy crashes, and stubborn weight. Energy highs and lows after meals are a signal your blood sugar system needs support.
Sam was struggling with peri-menopausal symptoms — low libido, weight gain, hot flushes, mood swings. Her GP prescribed a hormonal cream combining oestrogen, testosterone and progesterone. After several months, her symptoms hadn’t improved.
When we tested Sam properly, we found she actually had excess estrogen and progesterone levels — the cream was making things worse. We started a 3-week detoxification protocol, then rebalanced her sex hormones, adrenal hormones, and thyroid over 8 weeks.
This is why thorough testing before treatment is non-negotiable — sometimes symptoms are misleading, and treatment without testing can backfire.

Yes — this is the most common situation we see. Standard Medicare testing only picks up advanced thyroid disease. You can be struggling significantly with weight, energy, digestion, and mood without ever getting a formal diagnosis. Our functional testing goes far beyond a standard TSH.
No. The Lucy Rose Clinic is 100% telehealth — we support patients anywhere in Australia. Our team of 20+ naturopaths works entirely online, so you can access our full range of testing and support from anywhere.
You’ll have the option to book a free 15-minute discovery call with one of our practitioners — completely confidential, no obligation. Fill out a brief questionnaire beforehand so they already understand your concerns before the call.
We use functional pathology — more comprehensive testing than what Medicare typically covers, including TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, antibody markers, iodine, adrenal hormones, sex hormones, and nutritional profiles. We treat you as an individual, not a set of results.
If our treatment plans are followed, we get an average of 70% of our patients well, naturally, in 12–16 weeks. The remaining 30% may need additional medical support, and we work closely with integrative doctors to ensure everyone gets the right outcome.
