Hormone optimisation for women
Do you sometimes feel more tired, emotional or notice your body changing? Maybe you’re a bit restless, irritable, or simply not quite yourself. Hormones often play a bigger role in this than you might realise. They shift throughout every stage of life around your period, after pregnancy, when coming off the pill, or during times of stress. And you don’t have to manage it all alone, it’s perfectly okay to ask for support.
At IKARIA Clinics, we take a close look at your hormones and support you with a personalised treatment plan, so you can feel back in control of your body, your mood and your energy.

Who can benefit from this treatment?

This programme is designed for women who:
At IKARIA Clinics, we understand that a healthy hormone balance is essential for your wellbeing, energy and quality of life. That’s why we offer a personalised medical approach to restore balance and ease your symptoms.
What can you expect?
We start with a thorough blood test to map out your hormonal health and any deficiencies. This gives us a complete picture, so we can choose the approach that truly fits you.
From your results, we put together a personalised treatment plan, tailored to you, which may include:
Lifestyle guidance and support
Nutrition advice to support your blood sugar levels and oestrogen balance.
Exercise and strength training to keep your muscle mass and metabolism healthy.
Sleep optimisation and stress reduction, to help your body recover more effectively.
Hormone therapy & supplements
When lifestyle changes alone aren’t enough, we can support you by supplementing hormones and nutrients.
Follow up & guidance
Because hormones are constantly changing, we schedule a follow-up consultation after three months. Together, we review your progress and adjust the plan where needed. This way, we ensure lasting results, while you stay in control of your health.

How does the programme work?
Our approach in three simple steps.
How long is the treatment?
Building a healthy body takes time, not quick fixes. At IKARIA Clinics, most treatment programmes last between six and twelve months – giving your body the chance it needs to recover and truly rebalance. Think of it as an investment in yourself. Together, we’ll create a programme that feels right for you.
Safety and possible side effects
Hormone therapy is a medical treatment and at IKARIA Clinics it is only prescribed and monitored by specialised doctors. We always begin with thorough blood tests and regularly review your values and symptoms. This way, we make sure your treatment is safe and well managed. As with any therapy, side effects can occur, such as tender breasts, mild mood changes or cycle irregularities. These are often temporary and settle once your body adjusts. If you do experience symptoms, we will immediately adapt the dosage or composition to suit you.
Our priority is that you feel better, in a way that is safe, effective and lasting.

This includes a body scan, advice and your prescription. Follow-up consultations are €150 per session.

Frequently asked questions about hormone optimisation
Is this programme only for women going through the menopause??
No, absolutely not. A hormonal imbalance can happen at any age, from your thirties to well beyond the menopause. Think of PMS, mood swings around your period, fatigue, irritability or a low libido. Women who have recently stopped the pill, gone through pregnancy or are dealing with prolonged stress may also notice hormone-related symptoms. The menopause is just one of the stages when hormones shift. This programme is for all women who feel their hormones are out of balance, or who want more insight, even as a preventive step.
Can I combine this with other medication or treatments?
Yes. Our doctors tailor the treatment plan to your medical situation. If needed, we will consult with your GP or specialist.
Is this treatment covered by health insurance??
Most programmes at IKARIA Clinics are not covered by standard health insurance. Some parts, such as laboratory tests and medication, may be partly reimbursed through additional insurance, depending on your policy. In some cases, consultations are also partly covered. We recommend checking this with your insurer (doctor Ingrid Kuiper, BIG number: 19042361601).
When do I notice any results?
That depends on the individual. On your symptoms, hormone levels and overall health. Some women notice feeling clearer and more energetic within just a few weeks, especially when deficiencies are addressed or lifestyle changes are made. Hormonal processes do take time, as your body needs space to find its balance again. In most cases, you’ll notice the first improvements within 4 to 8 weeks, for example in sleep, mood or menstrual patterns. We guide you step by step and monitor your progress together.
